Hi there,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I've had a bit of a skim through the forums and didn't see it at first glance.
I've just dug out CivIII again on my ageing MacBook and am looking forward to injecting a new lease of life into it by playing some of the GOTM's and PBEM games.
However, I notice that the GOTM/COTM recommend setting the 'NoAIPatrol' setting to =0 in the conquests.ini file, in order to make Barbarian movement more random and consistent between players.
I've had a look and I can't find this file anywhere on my computer. Does such a file exist for the Mac version, and does the bug exist in the Mac version? If it does, can anyone tell me how to change it? Finally, will this be a problem if I were then to play a PBEM game with someone else who hasn't changed this setting - or do most players change it nowadays?
Thanks!
PS - I'm playing Civ III Complete v1.22 Rev. A.
