Are their any bugs or cheats within CIVWin

[nealcg]

Just curious, I'm new to this forum and I'm wondering if their are any bugs or cheats I can exploit in civilization for windows. just trying to make it more interesting.

There seem to be quite a few bugs in winCiv, but I dont know of any that make the game more fun. Mostly things that cause sudden program crashes or wierd behaviour. :-(

If you can get it to run on your machine, you would be better off using the original DOS version (better graphics (yes!) and more things to exploit). One of the posters here even created a map editor for it.

(Alas I am stuck with the windows version now, as my new pc refuses to play the dos version!)

Andy, you may be able to run Civ for DOS if you get some DOS boot disks, so that way you're not trying to run a DOS game in windows.

Strangely enough, it does actually run (or rather crawl) if I run it with windows (98) active from a dos window, but if I reboot in dos mode I get the dreaded "Division by zero" runtime error when the splash screen comes up.
This may be some kind of driver or dos version thing, which means running from a dos boot disk (older version of dos perhaps) might work. I havent had a chance to test it yet, but when I do Ill post the result.
