    Changing Options Mid-Game (Direct IP)

    Good Question. Having the same issue. I thought we could change it pre patch, but maybe I'm mistaken. I definitely can't do it know, but it seems odd. If everyone agrees with a change between multiplayer sessions, why would they care?

    Victory Screen

    Is there any way to edit the game and get rid of the Victory Screen. I'm talking abuot the F8 screen that tells you during a game how close you and your closest rivals are to winning by domination, conquest, spaceship parts, culture etc. I hate that they added this to the game, its terrible for...

    MP crash/corrupted saves?

    No graphics mods. We changed a couple of really basic things in the civ editor, mostly to balance the accelerated production. Otherwise default settings.

    MP crash/corrupted saves?

    Could this be a memory leak issue? Are there any known post-1.22 patch memory leak bugs?

    MP crash/corrupted saves?

    We have a group of 4-5 that play regularly, after upgrading to Conquests and patching, we have found that we will be able to play for about two hours or so, then at a random end of turn, 2-3 of the players will get kicked out to the desktop, no error message. If we load up the last save, same...

    Can this work with AOL?

    I have someone trying to join a game with AOL as ISP. Did infogrames or anybody ever fix the problems with AOL compatibility?

    Espionage question

    Where in the editor is this? I only see info on the base costs for the operations, not their chance of success. I'm dying for hard data on likelyhood of success of each mission. Anybody done any tests? Cartouche?

    The ultimate UU ranking, including PTW!

    SanPelligrino have you tested this? I just read cracker's new PTW technical review and he states that archers cannot be upgraded to Berserks. I also tested again if I could take a city directly from a boat with a Berserk and I can't, it says only marines can, the Berserk can kill every unit in...

    The ultimate UU ranking, including PTW!

    Fair, but my counter, counter point is that I don't think I need any iron between the time of Chivalry and Steam Power if I am the Indians, I don't need anything other than the Elephants for military, and I can't build RR or factory's yet. So its not that I don't need excess, I don't need any...

    The ultimate UU ranking, including PTW!

    I think this thread is great, and even the back and forth on some units proves the game is even more balanced than at first glance. If I could add my two cents though, two important factors have been underrated; resource requirements, and upgrade path. For example, with regards to the War...

    Playing beyond victory/defeat

    I just finished a simult move multiplayer game with 2humans and 4AI. Its embarrassing but one of the AI won with a spaceship. Anyway, in the single player games I seem to remember you had the option to keep playing beyond the point of victory/defeat, is that not the case in multiplayer? In this...

    Uh...Direct IP...Uhh...Cool!

    Sorry for the very basic question, but how do I find what my IP address is so that I can relay it to others to direct IP in? Civ II did this for you. I'm sure there is some basic command to bring it up. Also, Has anyone successfully hosted a direct IP game? Did it seem to reduce lag? Can...

    Civ3 PTW Patch v1.14f Released!

    Can someone tell me exactly what steps to do to HOST a Direct IP game. I see how to join one, but how do you set it up to be the host of one. In Civ II it was one of your host options, and then told you what your IP was so you could pass it on to others. I can't figure it out on this one.
