You might want to try reinstalling the game so you can restore that file. Then go ahead and make changes, but save them to a different file, or backup the civ3mod.bic file.

Once that's done, if you're still getting crashes, post the error messages in the Creation & Customization subforum, and people there will help you modify the game.

ive done that there are no error measages and nothing it just shuts down

 

[Turner]

You've reinstalled the game and it still happens?

(BTW - Your sig is too long.)

 

[taclled]

yep


ps:thanks ill shorten it

 

[Turner]

Uninstall it again. Before resintalling, follow the directions on this page. Then make sure all the Civ3 directories are deleted. See if that works.

(Thanks for shortening your sig.)
