lol, don't appologize, I appreciate all the hard work!
But, it seems to be the same old zip file again! lol
perhaps we should just try creating a new attachement rather then editing the old one after all?

I think I figured the problem with the other file. They were named the same thing. Don't know if that is the case, but it's a theory. And thank you for the compliment and your patience.

Got spare money?

Well, I was testing the mod out and I ran into an error early on- 2710 BC. Dunno what happened, but I saved it near the start and I'll see if it happens again...

[Edit] Yup, tried a few different things:

1. Replayed game one from the save and it crashed.
2. Ran the .bic as a scenario w/o going to the customization screen- all of the settlers/workers started right next to each other on this strip of flood plain- rather comical overall.
3. Re-ran the .bic as a scenario and chose to customize it- again it crashed after 2710 BC.

You know, Apolyton should really make it possible to attach files in the Edit Message box...

Anyways, here's the zip of my three save games- I'd be really interested to know if anyone else runs into the crash after 2710 as well- check out monkspider 2 for a laugh...

Hey Cian, I managed to play quite a few turns on each of your saved games with success. Not even the slightest hint of a lock up. I haven't the foggiest what could be wrong. Did you extract all the files to their proper places and so forth? What version are you using?
I'm sorry I can't be more help.

Well, I followed the readme except for the .bic, since there was no specification where that went I assumed it went in the Scenario folder with the other .bics, correct? (either way, you might want to specify that for n00bs such as myself )

Corrections on Readme Got spare money?

couple problems with the readme....the .bic goes into the CIVILIZATION III root directory. And 23-espionage-large and 23-espionage-small go into the Civilization III\Art\tech chooser\Icons folder Also if you don't already know you have to copy your settler folder, rename it to colonist, and rename the new settler.ini file to colonist.ini (unless you've downloaded 1.41, then just follow directions in the Readme)
Hope that clears some things up...Great job on the Mod BTW! Keep it up!!

Something else that may have been causing my crash.

I switched everything around from the last time and it was all kosher until a bit later on... but then- *wham*- crashes again.

thanks for the corrections guys, proof-reading is obviously not my strong point. You will receive recognition in my next update by the way
Also it should actually be 141, I uploaded 1.41 last night to help people having trouble with the colonist unit.

Yeah, I noticed a few discrepencies in the Civilopedia in regards to spelling and grammer- if I get a chance I'll go over them as well.

One thing that would be useful however- what Civilopedia entries did you change?

Increase Your PM Length

One tip from an old modder-
You would do well to copy the folder structure of Civ III folders whose files you are modding. Place this structure in a "mod" folder. Then place all of the mod's files in this structure, zip them up, and instruct people as to which Civ III folder to extract the files in to. I would suggest the Civilization III folder.
This way, users don't have to place the files manually each time they dl a new version of the mod, and newbies don't have to worry about placing things in the wrong folder. It will help you keep things straight as well as your mod grows (and it will) .

Monkspider,

I was thinking, yes again... Since Nuclear Plants add 150% to production and all other plants are 50%. Why not separate them a little more. Why not make Hydro Plants give 100% and coal and solar give 100%. Although I believe you can only build Hydro in the same cities you can build Nuclear so maybe there should be a different twist to it. I was thinking Nuclear could replace Hydro, being clearer and more efficient and Solar can replace Coal for the same reasons. What do you think?

Balancing of Governments Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I was wondering about the Fascist Gov. you added to your mod.....is it balanced enough for the ai civs to use....i have been playing my game sometime now....and none have used it....i am using......though....also another question about the gov......do you think it would be logical to give the fascist gov the ability to pay for rush building...would it make it to powerful...etc...........give me some insight on this........i changed it to allow this but dont know if it will unbalance this govs......also...the rate cap of 50%...dont you think that is a bit to much? In my opinion if you are going to give the fascist gov...that much of penalty in research then i believe the other govs...should be tweaked down a bit also...to even it out.............................just some thought...........................

I don't have a copy of the newest mod, otherwise I would mirror it somewhere. We'll just have to wait for Monkspider to arrive and find a solution. Sorry guys.


Also as for Facism, the AI uses it alot when they are in war. I had a game where 1/2 were is Facism, 1/3 were Democracies, and the rest were in Communism. These are just generalizations, as I didn't count.

Thinking again...if the editor can handle this...

Make it so that taxmen add +2 after a bank is built

Scientists add +2 after a University is built; +3 after a research lab is built

Maybe even add a new worker to the mix, a Police Officer to decrease corruption.

Well, just tried to dl it as well using the link at the front. Is it correct now? The URL I mean? As I tried it, got an error message from the site(Geocities, I should have known, damn you Geocities! ) But this mod looks just incredible. I take it if I have another mod installed, I must uninstall it before installing this one? As it actually hs made me turn away from Silent Hunter 2 and EU2 to have another go at Civ3.

Tired of ads?

Just wanted to say a few things. First off being - GREAT WORK WITH THE MOD!. It's made the game actually enjoyable, quick question however and this is just a really stupid one.

Have I done something wrong, or are there really no Civpedia entries for the new forms of government in the game? They do show up, however there is no text. Not that it is a huge deal or anything.

Other stupid question, maybe further back in the post or maybe there is a link that shows the values of the new governments? (Corruption, draft rate - etc).

Once again good work!

Chaing
