COTM 74: Portugal!

Time for Portugal to take a turn at being "the" civ. So I thought you'd like a nice Archipelago map to test out your sailing skills. OK, the Barbs are sedentary so you wont have to worry about much from that quarter. Good Luck!

1. 
   Free Ceremonial Burial

I'm curious, how do you add modified bonuses like free techs to one specific game-start (or save file) without editing the entire game or changing any files in the main civ3 directory?

 

[Cyc]

I would guess that civ_steve designs a BIQ file in which he modifies the areas (or options such as techs) for each class. Anyone with Civ3ConquestEdit can design BIQs like this. Then he starts each class game, saves, and let's us play the save.

steve - are you sure the barbs are "sedentary" and not "off"? i haven´t seen a single barb in that game...
