I'm not sure which version you have, but my save files are found using Windows Explorer under C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civ3\Conquests\Saves. I can then select the files I no longer want, right click, and select delete.

Have answered this in another thread.
Right-click the desktop icon, select "find target", click "saves" and there
they are. Right-click each or drag the cursor across to multi-delete. OK?

AFAIK in that mod, TETurkhan blocked possibility to build city in tundra - (at least in 1.93) cause AIs would build tons of useless cities there which greatly increased interturn time.
I have a question about saves as well. All my saves are too big to post here, about 900kb. I do not use autosave. Is there something in my preferences that are making them too big? I have the vanilla version and have not really changed any preferences from the default.

@jessiecat - I had never heard of this and just tried it. When I right-click the desktop icon, this is the menu I get...no "find target" on the menu. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition. What are you using?

Oops! Forgot something. Right-click Civ deskttop icon, Right-click "properties" ,
then Left-click "Find Target",
Then click "Saves". Maybe I missed a step. Sorry!

Well, I tried that. I also tried left-click on properties. Both brought up this result with no choice for "find target". Thank you for trying.

What you've showed me is Desktop properties. Have you right-clicked your
Civilization icon on the desktop? Right-click "properties", then "find Target" to
get your Civ folders. One of the yellow boxes says "Saves". Right-click that.
I do this all the time and I've got Windows XP Home edition
as well.

Ooooohhhh! Dummy me!!!
I thought you mean the icon for "Desktop", rather than the desktop icon for "Civ". NOW I've got it. It takes you directly to that part of the directory without opening Windows Explorer.Thank you. I will do that from now on. Sorry for the mix-up.

No problem! Somebody else had to explain it to me as well. Glad to help.
Now that you have found the save, create a shortcut to them. This is what I do for many games. I move the shortcut to the start programs and now I can get to the saves nice and easy.
Will that effect gameplay?

Not bad idea for one save. But if you run too much in Startup, you're going
to slow your machine right down. Better to put your save on the desktop as a shortcut.
It's also better to just to wipe out your old saves every couple of days.
Anything that speeds you up is better, right?

I'm pretty darn sure he meant a shortcut to the saves-directory, and not a shortcut to every saved game file...
Yes just a short cut to the directory. I started doing that for civ4 as I played it so seldom and it was in the doc directory. It was many clicks to find it.
I decided to do it for civ3, even though I could find it fairly quickly.

-My explorers do not use railroads. Is this a bug or a negative effect of the "all tiles as roads" ability?
-Moving from a roaded tile to an unroaded tile costs one full movement point (assuming the unroaded tile is a grassland. plain, desert, or tundra) but what about moving from a unroaded tile to a roaded tile?
