C3C and PTW crashes when England is used

[h3seaking]

Howdy. First post to this forum. Civ 3 works fine, but both PTW and C3C crash if the scenairo (or game) have England in them. When I meet one of their unit and start a parley session (diplomacy). The games also crash if I try to play as England. (hoping to avoid meeteing them). I have been getting around it by not including them in my games. Any ideas? BTW Both were bought from Amazon. I have reloaded several times. Is there a way to turn off the animations of the characters? Queen Elaizabeth or Ole' Abe etc?

Having not seen that particular problem before, here's a few things you could try. I believe in the preferences, you can turn off game animations, I do not know if that includes the character movies, but at the very least it should stop the unit animations. Makes it a little boring, but at least it might be stable.

On the flip side, till something really fixes it, you could always go into the editor, edit the rules to remove the Civilization "England" from your biq. save it to a custome name, and just load it like a scenario instead of a new game every time (you could also rename the nominal stanard .biq file in the main directories, not the one in the scenario, and rename your custom scenario to the nominal, placing it in the main directory, that way hitting new game just auto-accesses that scenario)

Cheers
