Hi, long long time Civ3 player and lurker, first post.

Just installed Civ3 on my laptop (Sony Vaio, running Windows 7). Game generally running fine - I've got KeepRes=1 done and LSANS.fot renamed - all good so far; maps look lovely no worries.

But, getting some issues with menus and text - some just cosmetic, but some majorly deal breaking. I'm running at 1366x768 (recommended resolution apparently according to my GFX set up). On some options menus text is slightly misaligned, so I have to use cursor keys rather than mouse to select the last option on the list (eg when trying to quit game). The major problem however is on the Diplomacy negotiation screen, all of the speech options are off the bottom of the screen and thus cannot be selected - in effect the screen is unusable.

Any ideas for solutions? I've scoured the forums but don't seem to be able to find a solution to this particular issue. Any and all advice much appreciated.
 
Hey!

Wow 1366x768, i didnt know the game could go that far, as bad as it may sound i would try it on the normal 1024x768. I do on my wide screen laptop and its fine :D May not look as good as some games but thats why we love civ right! :)
