Well that didn't work. Let's try this...
Thamis, it seems bizarre that a required improvement needed for a great wonder could possibly NOT be built due to empire/city size. I do not always build walls in all my cities, so if I were to have a successful game, then wanted to build the silk road, I couldn't due to my inability to build Walls (which I am currently can't seem to do).
The MOD is AMAZING BTW! I have had great enjoyment building empires. Its just tough playing on the Med Large map with all civs as it takes soooooo long to load between turns. And I have a 2.2 gig machine!

What's the command NoAIPatrol=1 supposed to do?
I didn't notice any shortening of the half-hour lag while waiting for the opposition to take their turns.

Hello Thamis,
I think I have a good time scale for the mod. When I played on Monarch the ages usually fell pretty close to reality. Maximum time for tech research is set for 30 turns.
100 turns at 50 years each brings you to 3000 BC
50 turns at 47 years each brings you to 650 BC and ~end of AA
150 turns at 4 years each brings you to 50 BC and ~end of HA
100 turns at 4 years each brings you to 350 AD and ~end of IA
100 turns at 3 years each brings you to 650 AD and ~end of MA
With good contacts and trading I could stay on track and finish each age just about when I had the last tech for the age. isolated civs were further behind (as it should be). Fertile crescent ones often were ahead until the imperial age.
Other suggestions:
Make Elite Light horse the unit that gives Macedon a golden age, not hoplite.
Preference menu buttons are out of sync with the game.

I might find this somewhere in this huge thread, BUT
please tell me why the Thrace nation hasn't been included.
They could be placed south-east of Dacia and south of Scythians on the map. Not much room but I think they played a big role and had Light Cavalry helping Alexander The Great. Thracians like Spartacus where well known. The Thracian sword likewise. I htink they where to be included in the "sleeping" Alexander The Great Mod,
so how was the discussion of ruling them out from this FANTASTIC mod. I just can't stop playing it.
Hoping for a small info on this to set my questionmark straight.
Clamel.

I play a lot of hotseat games and unfortunately you can only pick eight civ's. (which is why I felt the need to give an edge to the major civ's of the mediterranean) What eight civ's would you recommend for the furtile crecent map. I'm not that familiar with those ancient civs.
I was about to deinstall Civ 3 and banish the CD into the rack with all the other games I once played but havn't touched in months or even years. Make no mistake, I am a Civ 3 fanatic - but the more you play the more the game develops into a boring routine where you can predict every move of the AI and your own moves are becoming the calculating results of simple equations...
But then I found TAM. Thank you and everyone who worked on this fantastic mod. It has given me the excitement and fun of playing Civ as it would be a completly new and different game - even better than the original. I'm a lover of the ancient world and this is exactly how I would like civ to be.

the C3C version of the mod is great 
one question the barbarian unit in the edit shows that it upgrades all the way up to Heavy Infantry but it isn't selected to upgrade was this done on perpose or is it an oversight?
I ask because I noticed that the other units that result from enslavement can be upgraded

thamis,
I can provide you with details on Dacia, since I am Romanian...
King Decebal as the leader (you can also pick Burebista, since he was another great Dacian leader). Cities: Sarmizegetusa (capital), Apulidava, Petrodava, Sucidava, Cornyx, Piroboridava, Tariverde, Ulpia, Admaclisi.. I forget the rest, but most of them end in dava, which means city, so you can make up some if you need more. Leaders: Decebal, Burebista, Dromichetes, Scorillo
Special unit: taraboste (they were aristocratic riders). Civ traits: religious, militaristic; possibly industrious.
Hope this helps...

Not to be a nudge, but have you gained any leads on why I can't build Silk Road improvements?
I don't usually go the Space Race/Silk Road route, but it would be nice to do it on occasion.

I'm talking specifically about the Barbarian Swordsman
I hope that helps
also the Goth UU Huskarl, which replaces a unit that enslaves, doesn't which kind of makes the unit weaker then the one it replaces
I think you should allow the Huskarl to enslave, unless you want the unit to remain the same
