What security does the original Civ3 CD use?

[Noobophyte]

I'm setting myself up with a "CD Image Server" that'll host images of all my owned CD's. This will allow for much faster load times, etc., and will also allow me to keep the originals intact and unused, so they won't get damaged.

The current problem I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out what security the Civ 3 (vanilla) CD uses. I'm using Alcohol 120% to do the imaging, but this one didn't work.

Does anyone know? Or perhaps someone knows the name of a utility that'll analyze a CD and report the security method?

I realize that such information could be used to make illegal copies of the disk...all I can say to that is that the vanilla game has been out since October of 2001...I'm sure if I were pirating, I'd be doing it for more current software. Hell, I could probably just download a RIP somewhere, and avoid this whole problem, but that won't help me get my image server up and running with all my owned disks.

Thanks.

Nobody has any idea?

Based on the other stuff I see posted here, I find that very hard to believe.

Moderator Action: Because that info can be used for pirating, and because this site has a very good relationship with Firaxis and a zero tolerance on piracy, you won't get that info here.

And just for the record, the security system used with Civ3 checks your system for "Virtual-CD"-type devices, and will not run if it detects any. so you can't use your "CD Image Server" with it, without cracking the game.
