I have installed Civ3 and PTW and when I try to load the game I get "error loading font (Error Code:13)". I tried the suggested removal of the Lucida Sans fonts, but still get the same error message. I have never encountered this before. Could someone tell me how to fix this? I have tried reinstalling and still get the error message.

I have just started about 10 games on huge map, warlord, and not a single bloody goody hut anywhere. Is there some way i could've turned them off? If so, how do i turn them back on, I'm too crap to start without them...

@Bose: did you choose to play without barbarians? If you want goody huts, but no barbarian camps, choose sedentary.

Does that effect it? When i play Monarch/Emp levels, i usually play without barbs, and to my best memory there were still goody huts...

sednetary means huts nad barbs in them - but not if you are expansionist. 'none' means no barbs at all, and since they can come from huts, it means no huts.

Question for all you warmonger out there:
When i was lookin at the civilopedia entry for the Republic, it said that war weariness is quicker if you start the war. So, is this for all govenments? So if I am declared war upon, i get less war weariness than the agressor?

It applies to all governments which are affected by war weariness (republic and democracy). In the beginning, your war-weariness will take longer to set in. You may even get a slight happiness "bonus" in the beginning. Eventually, war-weariness will hit pretty hard, so getting out of any war quickly under republic/democracy is a must.
Follow up question. If I were to switch to Monarch/Communism before declaring war, then going back to Republic (easier to manage WW in Republic) does WW go quicker for me as the attacker? Or is it the same, since the new gov't "inherited" the war?

Turner: good one, but I do not think anyone here ca give u a definite answer. The matter is confused by the 'rally-effect', if u declare war in monarchy the people will rlly behind their leader. Same in Republic, but there the effect is les noticable. So noone can say for sure how bad WW will hit.
Aside from that WW is weird anyways. So you best just give it a try (save, try, then reload and try the other thing), then tell us what happened!
btw: I do not have any problems wiht WW in Republic whatsoever unless the **** reallyhits the fan. Then, it doesn't matter much anyways

It does happen though. I was suprised to see it yesterday, but there was a 23% unhappiness factor in all my cities. Of course, there was only 1 protestant in a 15 sized city.
Killer: If I remember. . . I just started a new game, and am still in the ancient era. Have to wait until my civ gets bigger.
That is actually a tactic I used in Civ:TOG and Civ2, when I was Rep/Dem gov't, and wanted to go to war but the stupid senate wouldn't let me. It just occured to me reading WildFire's question about the WW.

This may get better response in the tech support section. Unfortunately, I do not see much on font errors on the offical support site. It would help to know your system specifics.
If you could run Civ3 before, then I'm not sure why PTW would cause an error. I suggest uninstalling, rebooting, closing all startups, installing C3, rebooting, ...

Just curious. Im fairly new to Civ...actually got into the genre via CTP2. But, now im into Civ3 and curious about my gameplay.
I have a habit of building everything in all my cities...kinda assumed it was the way to go. But, some cities obviously never catch up...as far as being a good producer of units. Should I just focus on the cities that I know can churn out the units, and worry about cultural growth in the others.
Or, am I way off the mark here. Reason I ask is I usually end up with a handful of cities that are unit factories....and a handful that will take forever to build anything. Those I usually end up setting to Wealth and leaving alone anyway

Romanus: try to use the corrupt cities not for wealth: you won't get anything. get them productive by building the Forbidden palace in a smart location, by building courthouses and so on.
I ten to let these cities have a Temple, Library (culture), Marketplace (will usually pay for itself and allow growth because of improved luxury effect), Barracks - then use them for troops. once Industrialism comes I often find them size 12 and able to get a Factory in about 30 turns - very worthwhile
With that and Policestation they pay for themselves plus give units to fight wars with

download the save to your Civilization III/saves folder, then you can open it through the load game button in civ III.
(Right clicking the save game file should let you start the download)

Non-PTW, you click load scenario, and locate the map (prolly has to be somewhere in your civ 3 folder). In PTW, it's probably just about the same.

PTW has a couple of user created maps that gained popularity at CFC or Apolyton! Just choose load scenario on the main menu. For other questions about user created maps, just go to this forum
