@Civinator I have scoured the oceans and cannot find anyhing abandoned a city and nothing is happening. Let me know if find anything from this SAV File.

Sorry, I cannot open your save file, neither with the GOG version of Civ 3 Complete nor with the CD version of Chronicles Civ 3 Complete. There are some more error messages after the second screenshot. I don´t have the steam version of Civ 3 Complete.

I have had similar to this in 31x AI games. An AI appears to be destroyed but remains alive somewhere I can't see. Sometimes they end up with a new settlement somewhere half a world away and sometimes that doesn't appear to happen. I will pay more attention to this in future.

I have never played for elimination victory and after this thread, I never will!

Settler in a boat.

It is sitting off of Memphis on tile 41,49. You can right click a tile and see the tile designation. Move the frigate down and sink and the game ends.

You can right click a tile and see the tile designation.

I may be misremembering, but wasn't that addition to the Terrain-info box enabled by the C3X patch?

In my saved game with C3X R 20 the coordinates can be seen:

Edit: The coordinates were introduced with C3X version R8:

I probably do not have that feature enabled.

Might as well make peace with them, see if that changes anything.

You could also "make room" for the settler to come....

If any of your fog-busting Cavs is/are keeping tabs on a habitable, culture-free 5x5 area anywhere on the map (but ideally with direct coastal access), moving the unit(s) back inside your own borders will free up that area for 'safe' Settlement.

I think, this is right: in a recent game of mine, I had a similar problem. Once I made peace with them, the boat apparently started moving again, and a few turns later, they settled on a remote island somewhere and the new town appeared on the map.
