	is C3C regional ? Got spare money?

Hello,

I'm a French player of Civilzation III.
I bought the US version of the game (+Play The World) when I lived there.
Now, I'm back in France, and I'd like to buy Conquests.

Is it "regional"? ie. will the French version of conquests will work with the US version of Civ3?

I can't buy from amazon.com (they can't ship to Europe) but I may buy it from amazon.co.uk. Will the UK version of Conquests work with the US version of Civ3?

I got the information that Play the World was regional. So I guess it is the same for Conquests.

Thanks for your answer.

Sincerely yours,

den

From the chat:

quote: [18:28] Just repeating a question, but: can a c3c euro version be installed on a US ptw/civ 3 combo? [18:29] And the question I've heard from French users - Will the French version be able to play English mods and scenarios? [18:30] I know that C3C was planned to be cross compatable with all PTW/Civ3 variants [18:30] <+bobT_Breakaway> The French version, as well as all other language versions have units named in their native language [18:31] Like Portugal on the Napoleonic Scenario? [18:31] <+bobT_Breakaway> ini files may not work. [18:32] but like Bob says the scenarios and mods need extensive work to translate [18:32] <+MikeB> The only change you should need to make is to go into pediaicons.txt and change all the unit folder names to match the ones in your language. I don't know if this is automatically handled or not (though I would guess it's not). [18:32] <+bobT_Breakaway> yes [18:32] <+Merepatra> Can we play "non playable civs" on scenarios changing it in the editor?...yes you could change it in the editor to play them... but they aren't balanced to be played [18:32] <+MikeB> That only applies for vanilla civ3 units because we changed the system for ptw [18:34] <+bobT_Breakaway> the other way you can get them to work in other languages, is for modders to provide pedialcon, civilopedia and all other supporting text files in their language, and make sure the scenario uses a specific scenario folder. [18:34] *** Emperor1 (~yahoo@h24-68-71-156.vc.shawcable.net) 4[joined] #apolyton. [18:35] Does the ground A-A work equally well against Stealth and non-Stealth aircraft? [18:35] <+Merepatra> Yes, I "lost" my Napoleonic Europe English version but I still have the German version and I can play that ok in German in the English game as it has its own scenario folder [18:36] <+MikeB> I think in Conquests there is support for a partial civilopedia.txt (containing only scenario-specific items) and maybe some other text files as well... but again I'm not

	Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

thanks for the quotation

I think I'd better buy the UK C3C as I don't want to have a mixed english/french version!
