    There is a program called Civ Editor that comes with the game. Open this and you can create your own maps, as well as mess around with units and whatnot.

    Edit: Gah, beaten to the punch...

    Well, click start, go to the programs area where civ3 is located. Go just as if you're about to start the game.... STOP!! Just before you click on that, look at the other items in this subset. There should be a civedit option. Click that, and you're set.

    there should be another folder with 'civ3 edit' ors something, the file should be there.

    If go to your 'my computer' thing and go to civ3 there should be a file with the edit link in it
