Civ III 1.21f Patch Question

[tspencer83]

Hi, I was reading the read-me for the 1.21f patch and I just wanted to know first of all, what was the original size of the huge map? Second, if I were to open a game using the old huge map under a newly-updated version of Civ III, what would happen to my game? Thanks

Huge is 180x180.

As to your second question, I can only assume to game would deal with it as it would a user defined map. It there was a combatibility problem, there would have caught it in q/c.

Yet again, worse things have happened.

quality control? what is that

I tested it with Marla's map which is about as big as you'd want and non-standard sized. It works.

The new sizes will only be used when you start a new game. Existing saved games will work just fine, regardless of the size of the map in the game.

I made a number of changes to marals map and heard that when you install the 1.21f patch they will be gone, not only that but you can NOT edit the the new file to get them back is that true??I also heard that you can not get the starting positions on Marlas map to be as they should,is that also true??
