	civ 3 116f probs Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Hi

Just got civ 3, downloaded 116f patch from firaxis site. Had a few problems, the main one is a bugger.

First game, end turn and discover Theory of gravity (into the 1900s ). The science selection box appears, now no matter what i select Nationalism is discovered when i enter the industrial era. Then the game crashes with a standard win error box. Sometimes before it crashes, it says something like "WE have just discovered the Wheel {err, yeah in the 1900s!!!!!} from the Zulus, what would you like to pursue..."

Earlier in the game although I was clearly leading, I was always 8th on the lists that come up. EG 8th on scientific achievements, but the science advisor says we are technologically advanced.

[minor] The info box sometimes doesnt update when changing/loading/unloading units on boats.

Happened a few times, I can select units etc. but fortifying and waiting does not work. The fortify animation occurs, but the unit remains selected (and will move if I press move button). Requires game restart.

Sorry if these have been fixed/mentioned, I had a look but saw nothing, not enough time to read everything. I can post the save game if anyone wants to try to reproduce the nasty problem. Any help appreciated.

Oh BTW being a newbie, I just have to say, Advisors saying "which would be cool" or "that would be good" is NOT good.

	Getting a similar crash Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

This may be related ... and I have yet to find a solution. When I hit the screen that launches the industrial age, and click to close the screen, the game crashes. Doesn't matter what nation I'm controlling.

System: Dell Precision 410 (SMP P3 600 processors), win2K, GeForce 3 with up to date drivers, 1GB RAM.

This problem did not occur before the patch was installed.

Yep, same. I reloaded an earlier save and changed the scientific progress but it did the same thing, crashed after entering industrial age. I am still having nationalism discovered regardless of what science i select.

Hmmmm...wonder if the same thing would happen if i wasnt a scientific civilization (no advances on new era...)?
