Missing Disc Three [Conquests]

[Wahsayah]

Hey, I was digging through boxes looking for Disc 3. I think I lost it while moving over the years. Since I have Disc One [Install/Play] and Disc Two [Play the World], maybe there's a way I can get some sort of proof thing on Disc 1 and prove I own the game. What do I have to do to get a disc or image for Conquests. Y'know, legally?

Not to be mean about this, but no-one is legally obliged to reimburse you for your own carelessness. A cloned CD, or disk-image, is by definition a copy, and if someone who isn't affiliated to Firaxis/2K supplies you with one, however well-meaningly, they will be committing software piracy.

Yes, there really is an answer. But I don't think... that you're going to like it... The answer... to the great question... of life, the universe, and Civilization, is... is...

You lost the disk: if you want a new one, the simplest legal thing would be to buy it yourself. (And if you buy the Conquests-expansion disk, then you'll most likely also have to patch your installation up to v1.22).

Or buy a download-copy of Civ3Complete from Steam or GamersGate -- it's only 5 bux (or even less when it's on sale)...
