I'm back closer. The game ran, and will let me place the city.

However, the labels are screwed up. Where do I have to go to fix the labels? Once I fix that, I can start playing again. I thought I had a perfect backup of the setup, but the labels are screwed up.

 

[Elephantium]

The labels thing w/the Steam version rang a bell. Looks like Civinator talked about it in this thread

On my machine (I have the GOG version), I see labels.txt in:

... \Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Text

I have two versions, labels.txt and labels-Steam CivComplete Patch.txt.

The only difference between the two is "Unknown" on line 86. I think you just have to switch them?

 

[Civinator]

From post 1 of the CCM 2.5 thread:

Edit: I have attached the labels-Steam CivComplete Patch file to this post, as the patched Steam labels file with the reinstallation of the Steam version now was overwritten with the unpatched Steam labels file of the reinstallation.

 

[LKendter]

I'm back up and running. At this point, I don't expect to post a turn for this weekend. I'll probably do a bit of overtime to get us through the communist revolution.

Good to read you have straighten things out. Though the revolution is a good idea.

Have any of our enemies reached the Industrial Age yet?

 

[LKendter]

Have any of our enemies reached the Industrial Age yet?

I think so. 4 civs only want nationalism and scientific method. The others also want corporation and improved steam engines.

Mid set teaser:
Does that cash total look like I rushed a ton of factories, dockyards, steamrollers, hospitals, etc?

Does that cash total look like I rushed a ton of factories, dockyards, steamrollers, hospitals, etc?

Given you destroyed the glorious Japanese, it looks like your first rush was to empty the Japanese treasury.
Good to see one of the enemy tech leaders destroyed.

Wrapping up teaser:

 

[LKendter]

1903 AD (0)
I review cities for unsold granaries and slavery. As I start reviewing, I also notice we have obsolete windmills to sell. I gain over $1000 from the sales.

Nara gets a culture bomb.
(IT) I'm very tempted to grab communism for the barracks, but I stick with the standard electricity and atomic theory.
Arms race is completed. We grab electricity and atomic theory. The next goal is communism. Nationalism sadly needs 5 turns.

The only AI action is a bunch of annoying city bombardments by ships.


1904AD (1)
Antium begins worth on Wall Street.

The rail-net still needs work. I am laying rails just to attack units, reinforce cities, and get units that are sitting in cities back fighting. I find hussars, and other units in these cities, that need upgrading.

I rush a bunch of steamrollers in cities using 2+ undeveloped tiles and high corruption.
(IT) I just got rid of India, to make contact with rich Turkey.
