That's the one!! Thanks Chris :) The thread actually has a number of posts from me in it... But I lost track of it and have since reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Civ3.

I tried the search feature, but I still can't find it. Once upon a time there was a great thread here that discussed the various setting that could be made in the .ini file. Anyone have a link to it? Thanks!

NP here. Downloaded in about 20 seconds (complete file: 9.4Meg).

Tapsel, You're saying that with those 3 lines in that order the game came up in 1280x1024 mode, even though your desktop is at a resolution lower than that? I can get it to work fine with any resolution up to where my desktop is set, but I don't believe it supports using resolutions higher...

Any idea what this means? >> Additions: >> * Implemented Allow Scientific Leaders Rule

This could be made a regular city structure that can be built in any city. It would reduce corruption along the lines of a police station. Maybe make it require a police station to be built, and have the effect of "double the effectiveness of police stations".

Ouch! If I was running max resolution (1600x1200 with my current card) on my desktop with a 17" monitor, most text would be much too small to see :)

Games (or other software) can run at resolutions higher than your desktop rez. They can't do it in the manner that Civ appears to be using where it is a basic "window", but with some coding changes it would certainly be possible. The question was just whether or not they had implemented...

Yep - my video card supports it no problem. If I set my desktop to 1280x1024, Civ3 will run that way, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get the game to run in a higher resolution than your desktop. Am I missing something?

I found I needed to keep track of what I was using to be able to keep everything working correctly through updates. So here's my version of "perfect" terrain: The main things I notice different from a lot of other folks are the use of the Sn00py's TerrainX files (best irrigation I've seen...

Unfortunately, as with most opinions, not everyone will agree :) Personally I have very few issues with Civ III, and therefore my #1 request for Civ IV would be to fix my personal #1 annoyance with Civ III: Do something about diplomacy so that it is not carpal tunnel hell! A) Solve the...

I always go Anarchy to Republic to Democracy, and I've never changed from Democracy in a decade or however long it has been since the original Civ (although I seem to remember going through Monarchy in the earlier Civs). If War Weariness gets too bad, I make peace for a bit. Sometimes that...

I lost a recently captured city that wasn't on my border, despite rushing a couple improvements and having garrisoned troops, quite a while ago. Since then I've tried to make sure that I don't stop wars until I've eliminated the other civ (flips never seem to happen during a war).

embryodead - I figured it was easy :) (I haven't played with the editor / customization stuff before) Thanks!

I never use conscription, but about once a game I manage to click it by accident, resulting in a useless 2 hp unit I disband and unhappy citizens. I bet it would be possible to mod the science definitions so that it never becomes available? (It shows up with Nationalism I believe) I'm...
