Installation of PTW

[ixian]

hi i have this problem
ok firstly where do i download PTW to?
to the infograms directory or...?
because currently i have 2 options/icons
one(the old civ3 icon) and next(the new PTW icon)
isit meant to b like this?or shouldnt the PTW files auto attach to the civ3 files?

and theres this thing..i aint sure if its a bug or otherwise
i can only "talk" to other civilizations by contactinig the leader of a unit....i can no longer talk with other civs by going to the F4 screen n double clicking...the game would go into illegial operation when i try to leave the negeotiation screen..not so when i use the first method

and another thing still
my game "closed" when it cant find the middle-ages army.ini file to load...
thats why i suspect i probably downloaded PTW to a wrong directory..or did i?
pls help..

"file fail to load"
art\unit\army middle ages\army middle ages\army middle ages.ini
the game will close

You shouldn't be downloading PTW at all - you should be installing it from the CD.

too used to that word
where do i install ptw to?
i put in the cd...and follow the normal instructions
it installs yes but PTW becomes a folder inside civ3
it doesnt...assimilate into civ3..

Sorry

As far as I know, you just install it to the default location. It is actually a separate game to Civ III, not an upgrade. It doesn't assimilate into Civ III.

If you want to play PTW, then run PTW.exe. If you want to run the original Civ III, then run the Civ3.exe.
