The smilies are mood badges, allowing you to easily determine if your citizens are happy, etc. You can find them in the creation and customization forum.

Good answer!
VB = VBulletin = the forum software used here.
PM is very useful for sending messages to another poster that don't *belong* in the forums, such as a private query as to what his avatar means, or a discussion about plans for a joint attack on another player in a multiplayer game, or rounding up proponents for an idea in the demogame, or, ... well, I think you get the picture.
It is *ALSO* very important for moderators, because it lets us communicate with you about possible infractions of the rules, without splashing [color=600f0f]THIS POSTER SCREWED UP![/color] in the forums for the world to see.

How, precisely, does the "culturally linked starting positions" work? My friend and I wanted to play a game against computer opponents a couple of difficulty levels higher than we normally played, so we wanted to start close to each other (early discovery and cheap trading, etc.
Culturally linked starting postitions mean that the civs will start near their historical counterparts. France will start near Germany and England, America will start near the Aztecs and Iroquois.
If you're wanting to do this for MP, I would suggest creating a map, and making sure you're start positions are near each other. That's the only way I know of to guarantee where you start.

Hi everyone !
A "basic" question: is there a difference between a mod and a scenario ?

If you set up a WW2 scenario, it doesn't necessarily have to be a mod, if you keep the normal units, buildings, techs and rules. But if you change them, it's a mod.
A mod changes the units, buildings, techs and rules. It could be something as simple as tweaking the settler to give it an extra movement point, to something like Double Your Pleasure.

Ok.
And you need the Civ Editor in order to build them, right ?

Right. It gets installed when the game does.
If you're thinking of modding, or creating scenarios, I would check out the Creation and customization forum. Lots of peopel there who know better than here how to make mods and what not.

It should be that simple... but it's not: I own a Mac.
Seems like the Mac version of the editor doesn't run on any configuration or version of Civ3.
But thanks ! I'll go and and check it out on the Mac forum.

How do you change the color/font/style of your signature ?

I think they have a hacked Mac editor in the Utility program section, too.

That's what I thought. Aren't Greece and Rome culturally linked, or even Rome and Carthage, to a slightly lesser degree? Anyhow, we did end up using our own map, but I still don't see how Greece end up at the northeast side of the world (pangea, 70% water -- still fairly large ocean) and Rome and the southwest....
No clue. . . maybe because it was a custom map? I dunno. I'd've just created my own map and assigned starting positions.
wildWolverine, Greece, Rome and Carthage are all (I believe) in the Med culture group. However in my experience the "culturally linked starting locations" does not come close to guarenteeing that you will start by them, it's only a push in that direction. I am a fairly new player and could be mistaken but I think that's how it works.
sausnebb, yes, Shakespeare's population function is new to Conquests, and might I add a little bizarre.
