I've started a game as the Babylonians, just for the heck of it.
Noticed some bugs with the illustrations (City View). But that's no big deal. Just funny to see a Recycling Center posing as something else in 500 AD.
Other than that, going quite nicely. I've joined into an alliance with the nefarious French to beat the equally evil Germans

I've posted here in the CDG DyP forum to say that we seem to have found a way to run it on a Mac. CDG seems to be a Mac-free zone, so I guess this will all seem like a foreign language over there. But hey, they'll have to learn one day that there are better 'puters out there than those windowboxes.
Warlord just to try the new techs etc. out.
I've conquered the world on Kal-El's huge world map on vanilla CivIII on Deity level, so I don't think I'm all that bad. That was a conquest victory as the Iroquois (Space Race and Diplomatic conditions turned off). Score was around 16000? if I remember right. Finished it around 1850 AD. That was an epic game. Spent the last 400+ years in constant warfare as a Democracy. Engineered a Russian/American nuclear war (the two superpowers ahead of me) by giving the Americans nuke technology, uranium, aluminum, rubber and oil. The entire continent of Africa (where they were located) turned into a nuclear waste zone while I picked off the weaker Civs like Persia, Greece and the Zulus. Persia had given me quite a scare with a couple large conventional army attacks, nearly stealing my oil; I ended up nuking the armies with a tactical nuclear strike on my own soil!
Then the Russians turned on me, tried to nuke me (SDI, woohoo!), so I nuked the hell out of them (Africa becoming more of a desert, but I cleaned the pollution up with armies of Russian slaves) and finished them off with MA's and artillery. Finally I finished off China who was in South America with a couple of strategic nuclear strikes and massive armies of MA's and paratroop landings.
But I'm going easy on myself here until I get the hang of the tech tree and what wonders are really worth etc.
Oh, and the moral of the above story is that you CAN win a nuclear war, even on Deity. You just need the first strike stockpile and SDI.

I have followed your instructions, Alan, and CivIII starts up and runs fine until I try to select the science advisor. The only mods I've installed is the DyP one. If you need any more info to help me, just ask. Thanks in advance!

Hope that I haven't missed anything in this thread, but I have two questions to ask.
1. AlanH are there any other installers besides your mod installer? I opened your Mod installer and tried the drag and drop method on a cleanly installed version of Civ3 to 1.29b2, however it wouldn't drop on the Mod installer( if I interpreted your idea right). I even tried an older version of your installer that I found. No dice.
2.Would there be something I missed in installing it by hand? (Which I did, and the 1.01r1dyp crashed right after all the setup screens. I think I was able to get a crash log...)
currently using OS 10.3.3
If I can't fix it, just have to remain stuck with 1.29.

You have to drop it onto the copy of Civ3 listed in the open window of the Mod Installer, not just drop it on the icon in the Finder.
If the copy you want to modify is not listed in the window it's because it hasn;t been indexed by OS X yet, so first drop that folder onto the window, then drop the mod onto it.
Dunno
It worked fine when I tried it. But the manual method is error-prone. That's why I produced the installer.

AlanH,
I just want to thank you for all your hard work in getting DyP to run on the Mac. None of the DyP team would be able to help our Mac Cousins, so thank God for you.

Wow! How did you find us? We're honoured!
Thanks for your kind comments, I just wish I could fnd time to explore your amazing mod. My actual playing time is pretty limited, and I spend more time developing the gotm site processes than I do inside Civ3 these days, so it was good fortune and/or good planning that your mod installer is such a good fit for the combination of existing utilities that make it (relatively
) easy to install on a Mac.
Hi.
I apologise that I missed your post last month. I've only just spotted it
I think the subscription facilities here are a little suspect.If you are still around, I assume you are using version 1.29b2? if not, you should be. If you are then I can only suggest you try installing the mod again. Civ3 is pretty self contained, so if you get all the versions right, and the files in the right places, it should just work.
You could try trashing the preferences files just in case there's anything in there that confuses the system, but it's a long shot. There are two prefs files, both in your home directory/Library/Preferences/ folder if you are on OS X. They are called "CivIII Preferences" and "com.westlake.civ3.plist"

sorry I haven't replied lately, I was having a bit of a hard drive trouble and had to replace it. I wanted to thank you AlanH. I think its working after I took your advice on how to use the mod installer. I also think the installation by hand was a little flawed. Now I am going to see how it plays.... he he,
I see you've also found your place in the dyp pantheon, and thats cool. Thanks again,
off to civ for a while

I've been playing on the earth map. It's harder at the lower levels than vanilla C3. Or maybe it's because I haven't grasped all the tricks of the trade. But I'm workin on it. I won a couple games as the Romans and Babylonians, now I'm going for a bigger challenge as the Zulus on earth.
