It's generally best to leave things mostly as they are, although it might be worth irrigating at least the shield-Grassland tiles, for faster growth to Pop12. But if you haven't had your Golden Age yet (and are likely to get it soon), don't convert mines to irrigation on non-shield Grass: doing that will lose that 1-shield output from the mine, which means the tile won't produce an extra shield during the GA.Question: I know that under Despotism, I'm supposed to Irrigate Brown, Mine Green, and build roads on every square, but once I get to Republic, am I supposed to go back to all of my cities and Irrigate Green and Mine Brown, or leave things as they are?
For a standard PC-based installation, your savegames should be in <DRIVE>:...\Civilization 3\Conquests\Saves\. If that's not helpful, and assuming that you haven't messed with Civ's automatically generated savefile-names, you can also just ask Windows-Another question: Where is the default save game directory for Civ III Complete? I got a bunch of crap games in there that I'll never play again. It would be good to clean it out, but I'll be darned if I can find it.
Directory for Steam version Civ III or any other version? If is non Steam,follow the path shown up by tjs282,if is Steam version: Program Files-Steam-steamapps-common-Sid Meier's Civilization III ....-Conquests-SavesYeah, I know, but I'm not too worried about a post count.

Known problem since Vista... Take a look at this old post from 2009:No matter what I do, I can't find the save directory.
Could someone please tell me where I can find the patch to version 1.22f? Thanks!![]()
Was/Is that possible in 1.22f? AFAIK, the Civ-traits can't be turned off for the epic game...During Game Setup, on the Victory Conditions screen, there is no clicky for 'Civ Specific Abilities'. In fact, those words don't appear anywhere on the screen.
I agree. Highly unlikely. GoG supplies Civ3Complete, which is already fully patched.But in your case it is quite unlikely that your version of Conquests is not 1.22 already.
There is a 'no civ traits' conquest file. I think that's what you mean.OK. I re-installed the CD-ROM Civ 3 Complete, the version is shown as 1.22, not 1.22f, and 'Allow Civ-Specific Abilities' is nowhere to be seen. I would have sworn it was. In the HoF settings, it's listed as 'Allowed', so I thought that it was an option to turn on and/or off. My fault. The Save Folder doesn't appear either. I'm going un-install the CD-ROM game, and re-download through GoG Galaxy, so the Save folder appears allowing me to clean it out as needed.
Sorry about causing the confusion. My brain isn't what it used to be . . . Heck, let's be honest: It never was!![]()

Oh wow — I'd completely forgotten about that! (Shows how long it's been since I last played Vanilla!).Civ 3 Vanilla has this option, and if I remember well, even Civ 3 PtW had this option. Only for C3C it was cut out. I attache a screenshot of Civ 3 Vanilla, done with the GoG version.
And GoG (now) provides a working version of Vanilla (on modern systems?) as well?!? I did not know that, either. My GamersGate DL-version of Vanilla got disabled (on Win8.1) by the secdrv.sys shutdown (it still works on my old WinXP laptop!), so I had to use the PCGames patchpaket to fix it. (And the GG/Steam-install didn't include a PtW Civilization3X.exe, either — does GoG, now?).GoG Galaxy is not needed for starting Civ 3 Vanilla.
Also, what is the desired size for an avatar? The page says 200 pixels x 200 pixels is ideal, but when I try it, the left and right sides of the picture are cut off.
