[dojoboy]

So, if I decide to play the PTW version on my laptop, then I just d/l the save and fire up w/ the PTW icon w/ my C3C cd, correct?

Resources files were changed and all was well in the year 1375 B.C. until....

I communicated with our neighbor to the north and the display crashes. No error is given and the really odd thing is that I communicated with this culture many times before in this game with no error... Could get out of this mess by declaring war (clicking on existing peace treaty) - but then if I go back to communicate I am locked for good.

All other communication(s) at that time still worked fine.

Played the two prior GOTM's with no problem.

I guess I will e-mail the 1375 B.C save direct (not on this forum). Restarted at 1375 B.C three times but to no avail.

I assume this is Civ 1.29? Email the save to me at alanh(at)gotm(dot)civfanatics(dot)net Replace the thingies in brackets with the obvious

The "no downloads required" classic seems to have brought in some new players.
Good Call GOTM staff!

Got it and going.

Will we ever have an Emporer GOTM again?

 

[SniperDevil]

The starting position looks alot better than the starting position for COTM 1 HITTITES..... hehe

Question: For us who do have additional stuff installed, do we have to UN-install those in order to play?

No.

Civ1.29f / Mac players will need to change their resources.pcx files over as if they were playing a normal game. Otherwise, leave it as it is (its no different than (say) playing the SGOTM).

I assume you mean on PtW? If so, the answer is already supplied by Xevious on the first page. No, you don't need to uninstall anything, as PtW keeps stuff in different scenario folders. Leave it all there in case you need it again for a subsequent game.

What do I need to do to submit QSC 32. I saw the page to submit it, but attach a timeline? I wrote everything down but do I have to submit it? And as a file?

Just stick it in a text-file. Did you write it down on paper rather than on the PC?

:shakehead Yes, Yes, Yes. I wrote it all on paper ok.
The doctor told my parents they had a boy, he didn't say anything about an intelligent boy. Maybe I'll mail it in, will that work.

Don't worry => just submit it without the write-up.

ainwood, can I just check that republic is the old style with no unit support or have I misunderstood which recent game alterations have been deleted?

 

[ainwood]

Good question! Sorry, I should have been clearer: Repbulic is as per the recent GOTMs:

1. Contact trading: restored to Writing.
2. Map Trading: restored to Map Making.
   The Great Wall Wonder: now gives free walls in all your towns/cities on the continent
3. Explorers and equivalent unique units have been moved from Navigation to Astronomy.
4. Space Race - SS Stasis Chamber Has been moved from Synthetic Fibers to Robotics.
5. Republic Government Unit maintenance cost is now 2 gpt/unit with free unit support of 1/3/4 for t/c/m.
6. Archer/Bowmen/Mangudai added defensive freeshot at 1/0/1.
7. Longbowmen added defensive freeshot at 2/0/1.
8. Marines Increased attack strength from 8 to 12 and cost increased to 120 shields.
9. Radar Artillery Movement increased to 2 and rate of fire increased to 3.
10. Ship movements restored to 'normal' (but bombard and attack details kept as recent)
11. Air Unit Operating Ranges most have been increased up to the maximum hardcoded limit in Civ3v1.29.
12. Lethal Sea Bombardment for all air units that can bomb targets.
13. Lethal Land Bombardment for all bombers and steath bombers.
14. F-15 stats increase to 8/4/1 (range of 8) with bombard at 6/0/2 lethal land & sea
15. Helicopter transport capacity has been increased to 3.
16. Stealth Fighter stats increased to 8/6/1 with bombard at 6/0/2.
17. Stealth Bomber stats increased to 0/5/1 with bombard at 18/0/3.

I didn't get time to post these last night, and couldn't remember all the changes that had been made!

Edit: I've updated the info on the website.

Ok, the game has crashed on my yesterday.
It have me an error message something like "persian mercenary.... not found... in file....."
i don't remembe details of this message. It happened way past midnight and i really wanted to sleep so i used that crash as an excuse to go to bed...
I was not going to write until i come back home from work tonight and restart the game to capture error message, but i noticed that some other people have their games crashed and it might be for the similar reason.
I never played GOTM before and i never applied any custom mods..
As a matter of fact this is 1st time i am playing PTW since i install civilization on my computer, i always played Conquests before.

I had a slight problem loading the game in the version of PTW that comes with C3C. This was due to me installing a replacement smallheads/popheads in the Civ3/Art folder. The file is in .jpg format, which is fine for C3C, but PTW insists on .pcx format.
If anyone else is having the same problem, I fixed it by:

1. Copying the entire smallheads folder from Civ3/Art into Civ3/Civ3PTW/Art

2. In the new folder (i.e. Civ3/Civ3PTW/Art/smallheads), deleting the popheads.jpg file and restoring the original .pcx file - in my case by renaming popheads.bak as popheads.pcx .

I don't have the smiley faces in PTW, but at least PTW runs OK now.

This is not related to the two other crash problems I've investigated. They were both on vanilla. Are you sure you've downloaded the right start file?

this game plays well for me, no crush up to now. (only about 2 hours).
