railroads.pcx is found in civ3folder\art\terrain

 

[TruePurple]

But putting the altered railroads.pcx there does not change railroad graphics like its suppose to.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

There may be another in the PTW and or Conquests art\terrain\ folder which it is finding first.

The search path (assuming C3C scenario):
Scenario folder -> C3C files -> PTW files -> VC3 files

 

[TruePurple]

Oh ok, thanks that worked.

 

[mbwest]

Thanks, great response!
How much time do you all spend on Civ per week? day?

What is C3C? Ive got Civ3? is it the same thing?

 

[TruePurple]

Civ3 conquest. Conquest is the expansion pack that adds some nice stuff to civ 3.

As far as how much time I spend on civ, depends. Sometimes Ill play solid, but as I find civ3 could have been much better then it was I've often let it collect dust.

How do you import rules from a scenario on too another map? I want to import rules from RAR 1.02 on too a world map. How would I do this?

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

There is an import function in the file menu of the editor. You get to choose how much to import.

Can anyone help with this one. I can't play Scientific Leaders with my modded CivC game. There is nowhere in the Scenario properties like the other conditions too select them and once the scenario is picked in the game menu... only the preset conditions are there and can't be changed. How do I get around this (if possible)?

By the way, I just stumbled across Watorrey's fix for the lazy barbarians in CivC... I pretty happy about being able to fix it.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

I think you need to check 'default game rules'.

 

[thefusilier]

Ok, thank you for the help.

Is there any way to disable or bypass the confirmation window asking if I really want to turn a mine into irrigation or visa versa? Or a way to order a bunch of workers all to mine or irrigate so that I at least don't have to confirm for each individual worker?

 

[Padma]

Not that I've ever found.

Anyone know what a good tech rate is for me to set in the editor. I am using Rhye's 180X180 map for a 8 Civ hotseat game. It was set at 250 and great for the ancient era, but once I got to the middle ages all techs were only taking 4 turns and it was way too fast. Should I adjust it a bit higher to say 300 or should I just make each tech cost more on the advances page?

 

[Turner]

You can edit the individual tech costs in the editor, where ever they are defined. Probably better to do it that way, instead of making the AA harder than it is now.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

Before you do modify that... read up on the world size bug in my sig.

 

[thefusilier]

Ok thank, I will just up the techs individually a bit and see how that goes. I was fortunate enough to read about the size bug a while ago... (I noticed it in your sig.)

Quick question about some acronyms.

What is RAX and RAR? RAX sounds like something to do with archers from what I've read...

 

[TimBentley]

Rax is barracks; RaR is Rise and Rule

 

[101rstImperial]

o... I thought RaR was for ".rar"
