I have to disagree with you.
One of the things i really love in civ3 is easy modding.
I don't like to play with the same game rules always.
I just wish civ3 had a more adept AI.

Civ1 was really the same game every time.

Also true of Age of Discovery, btw, and I applaud this! Gee, distant, overseas colonies can function fairly normally and be Worth Building, what a concept!!! They should have brought this lesson back to the standard game...

Corruption level: 70%
(taken from 'age of discovery')

That's so easy

I would argue with this because it happens in real life. As a former Soviet Union citizen, I can tell you that corruption can be indeed over 100%. For example, there was an Uzbek Republic in the USSR. It was over 100% corrupt. Not only they have stolen everything from what they have! Uzbek survived on whatever food/cash/goods it was possible to get from Russia or other Republics and somehow managed to steal a part of this! And Uzbek had up to 12 children in the families so there was huge population growth and as a result, huge population in there. Now they are on their own. How do they survive? I don't know, looks like they are all over Moscow trying to sell or buy something on every corner. In general, since you live in a relatively small European state with low corruption, does not mean that if you spread for half-world, it would remain the same. People steal, it is in their nature.

I lived and worked in Russia for almost 6 years during which time I traveled all over the C.I.S. and can say that akots is exaggerating to make a point. In the USSR, the reality was more like 40-70% corruption, depending on how much of the value chain you consider. Obviously, there were a number of instances of 100% corruption in certain transactions, but not for entire regions. I agree with his sentiment though.

Does anyone have a mirror to 1.13? the link on the main page is not working.

Edit: Do i absolutely need 1.13 to upgrade to 1.15?

I have 1.12

You can patch from 1.00 to 1.15 with this single patch here.

NB: English only I think.
