Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Yep this is a common one. Make sure you are fully patched and if that does not work then you need to e-mail firaxis for a SafeDisk Patch or get a patch from another source...

Increase Your PM Length

I think that covers it. I thouht that had been address in a patch, but I did not see it mentioned in the readme.

Anyway it is always a good idea to give the verision and OS.
