1 more for you guys; how do you disband a city? Or like just get rid of it?? What affect will this have too, like on you rep and so on? (Its a culturally-flipped city, but it's in a bad place so I want to get rid of it) Thanks guys.

If you klick on the city you should see 'abandon city' coming up as one of the options. If it's still a fairly big town you could consider building workers there until it drops down to size 1, then it's less of a waste.
I think you get a little attitude hit when abandoning a town, but definitely no rep hit, so nothing serious.

I've never noticed an attitude hit when abandoning. Kinda like disbanding enemy workers... who really cares??
Also, I usually try and keep enemy capitals at all costs. They seem to experience less corruption once they grow a bit and tend to contain wonders.

Not just click, that will select the unit in the city. You have to right click and then it comes up in the options.

Its not really a newbie game question, but I am having a lot of trouble finding the map editor. I bought Civ III complete (It has three disks with PTW and Conquests) and I have been searching the files on the disks for the map editor and I can't find it. Does any one know what I can do or am I just not looking in the right place.
Check the submenu where Civ3 is in your All Programs List. I don't have complete, but in Conquests it shows up in Start -> All Programs -> Atari -> Civ3 Conquests -> Civ3 Conquests Editor -> Civ3ConquestsEdit.
You could also browse to the directory where the executable is and find it there.

I am not quite sure why you are looking on the disks... have you installed the game?
Here is where the editor is located for my Civ Complete in the conquests folder...

When I right click on a city, disband isn't an option for me to select. It's getting quite annoying now to be honest... Anyone know of any other way I can get rid of it? Also, I tried to instal the 1.29f patch and it made the game not run. My screen would go black (as if it were about to load up the Infograms logo and get the game going) and then just go back to my desktop. I don't have to do anything after I've downloaded it and installed it, do I? Oh, and 1 last question. The only reason I'm trying to get the 1.29f patch is in hope that my civassist II will start working again. Every time I open it whilst playing it comes up saying "Unkown save file version. Please ensure that your copy of Civ/PTW/C3C is patched to the latest version."
Thanks for reading, and for your response.

don't look for "disband city", look for "abandon city". It should be right above or below "rename city". If it isn't there, you have an old version and need to patch.

Damn, I was afraid of that... The 1.29f patch that I installed made my game not work, anyone have any ideas?

Post the game, and I'll see if I can load it. If I can, I'll save it and then post that save.
Might be worth a try.

I'm looking for a utility program to extract the seed number from saved games. Could someone please direct me to it?

Ok just finishing up on a great map with three large continents and one smallish island. Have the middle one all to myself now. Have won a UN victory already but restarted a year before the vote and played on to get a domination victory. Wanted practise with invading other landmasses and was only a few % points off domination win.
Have given myself a foothold city in both of the other two large continents (one civ on each). In peace with everyone how before I kick off again in the final push.
One of my new cities has the last luxuary I had to get. It isn't on the coast so doesn't have a harbour to ship it back to me. I am getting in in my capitol so I must be getting it through my neigbours who I will soon be at war with so will losse that route. If I build a airport in that city will that automaticly link it back to my capitiol?
Also in the UN victory I had I broke my score record, Hadn't previously paid much attention to that. How is that worked out?
Thanks

Yes, and airport will link the city back to your capitol, provided it is attached to an airport as well. And it isn't like a harbor that can still be blocked if the harbor is surrounded by enemy territory.
You get a point each turn for each tile in your empire, two points for each happy citizen and one for any content citizen or specialist. The points for each turn are then averaged over the length of the game and multiplied by the difficulty level (e.g. 1 for chieftain, 2 for warlord, etc up to 8 for Sid). Then add on the early finish bonus which is the difference between the year that you finish and 2050, which again is multiplied by the difficulty level. A link to an article by one of the masters of the game is in order I feel.
In short, if you got a good score you expanded quickly and either got a few luxes connected or used the entertainment slider effectively. Getting to the domination limit helps as well. Congrats on beating your old high score!
IIRC, what you actually get is some increased unhappiness in a nearby city, for the standard 20 turns. I think the "reason" is 'your cruel oppression'.
Or I could be completely mistaken....

You are definitely not completely mistaken. If there is unhappyness either from drafting or pop-rushing in a city that you abandon, then that unhappyness will not follow the city into oblivion, but instead 'jump' to another one of your cities.
I'll second Lord Emsworth's agreement on this. For this reason I do tend to raze first rather than abandon later. However I was under the impression that you do take an attitude hit as well for disbanding foreign cities. I do seem to remembering noticing it after abandoning a city that had a majority of foreign nationals. These things are often difficult to spot though given that you will only see a change in attitude if you were on a borderline rating and only if you happened to look before and after the action.

How do you move more than 1 unit of the same kind at the same time?? Cheers.
