Hey, I just bought Civ 3 at Walmart. It's the $10 ghetto disk one. It has the latest patch installed already after installation, 1.29f. I keep getting a weird error when I build a new colony. The colony has the default name "Firaxis Games is a trademark of Firaxis Games, Inc., Place, Colony Name" Seriously, thats weird to me. Is this a known bug? Thanks.
 
Sounds like your labels.txt file is messed up. Have you tried reinstalling? Or did you try to patch it when it didn't need it?
 
Nope, this is off a fresh install. Just installed it today, first time playing it and it's like this.
 
Here's a section of my labels file:

I'm sorry, were you out of cities? My bad...
Owned!
Sure you can kill me off, but when the going gets tough, look who gets going!
A real tough one here... fight's the good fight when he's stronger, but bails out at the first sign of trouble.
Would that I could have run away a spineless coward, rather than face the steel of my enemies.
Close the door on your way out.

Is this how it's supposed to look? Seems odd to me.
 
I deleted the Firaxis Games line, and everything seems to be displaying alright. Question tho, does anybody know if the line numbers in this file are important to gameplay? Somehow I have the feeling that a bunch of my other text displays are gonna be messed up as a result.
