[HELP!] Game Crashes When New Unit Built

[smithsonian]

I just got Civ 3 about a week ago. One of my favorite parts of past Civ games is customizing my civs. Well, since Firaxis removed the option to set your civ's leader's gender, I wrote them an angry letter and they pointed me to the Scenario Editor -- they said you can change the genders and a whole lot more.

Okay, so I puzzled my way through the editor, and I created a new civilization. I basically took the Iroquois and renamed them to the Polynesians. I renamed all their cities, all their great leaders, and their ruler. I then attempted to give the Polynesians their own Unique Unit.

Here's where things got screwy. I took the Mounted Warrior (don't need it anymore since the Iroquois have become the Polynesians) and I converted it to the Outrigger. The Outrigger has all the same stats as the Galley, except it can end its turn safely in Sea squares. I changed the graphic to match the Galley, too. I made it upgrade to a Caravel. I left the Civilopedia entry pointing to the Mounted Warrior.

Apparantly, changing Unique Units screws up the upgrade chain for virtually *all* Unique Units (or at least horse-related ones), so I had to fix the upgrades on Samurai, Riders, Knights, Cavalry, etc.

Okay, so, thinking I was done, I saved the "scenario" as Polynesians.bic. I loaded up the game and started up by loading this "scenario" and chooisng Wet, Warm, Islands, Standard Size, Regent level. I chose to play the Polynesians. Everything went great until I tried to build my first Outrigger. The city worked on it just find, but as soon as they completed the project, the game crashed.

What am I doing wrong? Why can't my Polynesians colonize the islands like their real-world counterparts?

Any help is appreciated . . .

You need to add a folder in the Civ 3/Art/Units folder for the Outrigger unit. The simple solution is to copy the Galley file, then rename it to Outrigger. Also, you need to rename the .ini file inside the folder to Outrigger as well. The spelling must be exactly the same as you have it in the editor. It should work now. Have fun!
