Downloading past Gotm start files

[Svar]

I'm trying to gain more experience by playing past Gotm games but am having trouble downloading the start file. The link in the readme file doesn't give me any loadable files just random text. I'm going in reverse order so the first file I tried to download was Gotm19.

If you are using AOL or other netscape clone browsers, the file recognition setup in your software may be faulty.

The save files are out there on the server and accessible to you but you may need to bypass the netxcape browser problem by using InternetExplorer or Opera of some other full compliance browser. I recommend that you figure out this bypass for the long term because you will encounter the difficulty again if you playe succession games, PBEMS, or attempt to review some of the 100's of submitted QSC save files.

We implemented all save files for Gotm20 as individual zip folders to bypass this ongoing software problem with AOL.

That was fast and effective. I have the file, thanks.

If someone wants to play even older GotM's theres a very-hard-to-reach page http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3gotm/civ3gotm_archive.shtml which contains also the old GotM savefiles from GotM 1 to 13 which are not listed at the gotm mainpage.

Just tought to post this link because its quite hard to reach that page from http://gotm.civfanatics.net mainpage. Atleast i didnt figure out any easy way to get there Sorry if this was information that everyone knew already.

You can play the very old ones even in PtW by first loading them up in vanilla civ 1.29, saving them again, and then loading them in PtW. (worked atleast for me, tested few really old ones some time ago)
