Ok, something is fishy... I couldn't get any files out of either zip file with winzip, but my copy of WinRAR opened the files and got the contents out just fine

It is because you are on XP. DL Winzip and you will be fine.

Sorry, forgot to mention the test results at the end of the post as I had intended! No, no SGLs from tech huts -- my test came after Drachen posted his / her results and then lockstep used my test scenario to double-check my results, too. All available in the SGLs and Me thread in the Strat forum.

Important: Due to the potential differences between Curragh explorations in the early-game, if you do not want to read big spoilers avoid the first two DAR threads until you've reached end of the third (that is, you've contacted all civs). Some of you are luckier than others...(and the seas are less suicidal in the stock version!).

Am I correct that there are a total of ten civs in the game (us and nine AIs)? (It's kind of important to know so we'll know when to post to DAR 3.)

Yes, there are nine AI civs. I actually posted that in the DAR3 thread, but I guess that's a catch-22 of sorts.

Oh man... When I was playing in the Beta test, there was the longest series of beta patches where plague was standard in epic games.... so let me just say from experience that I HATE PLAGUE!!!!

That said, it does add some interesting strategic elements to the middle ages part of the game and an occassional nasty surprise in the Industrial or even Modern age.

Because of the strategy I've planned out for the early Middle Age, I'm going to hate Dominae if he included Plague, but I suppose I'll find a way to cope.

	Suffering from ads?

I had Black Death hit one of my cities, but I think it just cost me one pop point, and it didn't spread to any of my other cities. I have no idea whether that's typical of the current implementation or whether I got lucky (to the extent that anyone who has some of his people die of Black Death can be called lucky ).

I hope people don't mind my discussing this here rather than in one of the DAR threads, but since plague isn't part of normal epic games, it seems reasonable to discuss it here as a warning to other players.

XP seems to have trouble with zip files that use WinZip or some of the other apps. DL the trial version of Winzip and it will be fine.

I've been having the same problem unzipping the files. I have XP, and have downloaded the winzip, but I can't even get THAT to work. I get the message that winzip81.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

I'd recommend UltimateZip, it handles Civ 3 saves the best of any of the compression utilities I've been able to get my hands on.

I had to download WinZip too. I never had trouble with XP and zipped files until now? Oh well, the Winzip 8.1 trial version did the job on my system.

It looks like the movement penalty for galleys in ocean tiles in the AU Mod is also hitting caravels and galleons. I haven't played far enough yet to see whether it's affecting more modern ships too or not.

I wonder why winzip didn't work for me? Probably some quirky thing I did to my XP. Oh well, UltimateZip worked a treat, so it doesn't really matter. Time to see if I can play a regent level game. Should be fun, since I'm only winning at Chieftain level.

Sorry about that. It's also the case for Frigates. All other ships are OK.

The AU 1.02 version is fine, but I missed those three ships in 1.01b. Sorry again.

A good place to ask this, maybe. I lost a temple in a city that had been shelled intensively by Man-O-Wars. I did not notice it at the time, but now I notice that the temple is missing I went back through saves and sure enough, it is between saves where the English are mad at me and taking it out on a Sumerian city under my protection.

The question is, is this *new* with 1.15, or did you guys do something that has naval bombardment destroying city improvements?

Naval bombardment, like ground bombardment, is able to destroy city improvements in C3C. Just as long as there are no units that can suffer damage in the city.

Units are tageted first, but when they are all at 1HP, bombardment works as in PTW against population and improvements.

It's a good thing! It's great to see a lot of players playing this game and having fun. I hope if there is anyone who is playing it, but doesn't want to post a DAR, they will post anyway. Even if you're losing, post what you've done and how you've gone about it. Someone can help you. That's what AU is for (besides having fun with a comparative game ).

I did not know that. I was going on reports from others that led me to believe that as not the case. I have never seen stacks of AI ships such that I could not respond either, and I never bombard beyond the last useful shot (for wounding) myself.

This is a wicked scenario from some PsOV.

When do we move on, Dom? Steam Power was such a long while ago.
