Funny, I don't have it...

Just what _are_ you smoking anyway? Maybe you just need to wipe off your screen. :-)

all seems to be playing well here

I did not start with Radio as I did in my single player game earlier today

Radio is back in the tech tree- just the Electronics prereq for Motor Trans is gone. Is this what the readme says? I didn't pay close attention...

3750 I think...?

I am quite happy that the Previous players Civ can no longer be seen when loading a PBEM game

and have tried the PBEM Games can not be loaded in Single Player
- each time it bounced over to my turn, thus it did not let me in to your save, as it would have in other patches

On the end of turn menu, when I tried 'continue' instead of 'save and exit', the program exited.

Have you built anything yet? My map stayed blank as it told me about a new unit and even after I zoomed to the city screen to change production.

They're both glitches I can live with, but Radio isn't supposed to be there...

Did you notice this in the readme?:

CIVILIZATION III: CONQUESTS V1.20 DOES NOT SUPPORT SAVE GAMES FROM PRE-V1.20 VERSIONS.

Ouch...

correction, on the Firaxis download site it mentions:
* PBEM: v1.20 Games can not be loaded on earlier versions. Earlier saves can STILL be loaded in v1.20

the other way around...

It's at the beginning of the readme that came with the patch. Hopefully PBEM is an exception, but I'm a little worried that they simply copied that line over from the 1.18 readme and forgot to edit it out when they found compatibility problems.

yeah I see it now... that just does not make sense

how did you go with the nap save I sent over

I reread the readme as well. I had missed the big bold text which you quoted Rommel. Strange and confusing that the readme is contradicting itself. I hope the pre 1.20 games can be loaded in which way everyone just simply goes 1.20 in current games.

The Napoleon save looks OK, except for the arrows for techs in the third era that alexman pointed out. I guess the real test would be if Cerb or rickety could open and play my upgraded save ok or not. I'll send it on to ric, but he might not be upgraded yet...

duh, just thought of this- do you have a copy of the turn before you played it? If you play it first with 1.20 then send to me, we should have a good idea if it will go...

This thread is moving quicker than I thought. Missed out on you greetings Paddy. Hadn't thought you'd remember that I followed your game with bongo and Iron Jackson for a while to see how PBEM worked. Currently I'm involved in (almost) 3 PBEM's. I could manage more at the moment, but I think it's better to wait a little longer to have PBEM's in different stages of the game. Unless I get my ass kicked in all of them... Still have to get used not to treat my opponents as AI. Not that familiar with the long term negotiations, but it adds a new dimension to it.
And how're you going Paddy?...

It may be a contradiction, or it may be a disclaimer. i.e You can play old games with the patch, it may be perfectly fine but don't be too surprised if it isn't.

I take it from the turns being played in this thread that reloading in PBEM isn't a problem, and that its just internet session games that are the problem in this regard?
