All things said, I found out quickly that while the verision for Civ 3 gold says 1.27f. Everything I try that says it should work for that verision does not work.
Also I appologize for starting the thread in the wrong place. From what I was able to tell the original spot made the most sense about those kinds of things, so I naturally put it there. Might I suggest a sticky post to prevent any further such occurances?
