Spartan Hoplite missing file errors

This is a spelling problem that occurs with certain (international?) versions of the game. I solved it this way:

There are folders for all units in your Civ 3\Art\Units or Civ3\Art\Units PTW folder - whichever you play. To fix the problem,

1) Write down the exact text of the error message

2) Copy the corresponding unit folder (eg "SpartanHoplite") and rename the copy to the name you wrote down from the error message eg ("Spartan Hoplite").

3) Within the copied and renamed folder you'll find a .ini file, its name matches the folder's name. Rename it accordingly, eg from "SpartanHoplite.ini" to "Spartan Hoplite.ini".

Whenever you encounter the problem again, eg "Immortal" and "Immortals", act the same way, then reload the last autosave and go on. Make sure you change the unit in the right game if you have Civ III and PTW installed.
