here are my two saves, can you guys see if they work for you? this is two games in a row now where i crash in the modern age. i'm just wondering if its my install or something with the game. but as a rule over 50% of my 16 civ 250x250 maps crash.. i've been having this problem with all the patches, origional and modified .bic. the changes i play with are:
addes city names
lethal bomardment
added leader names
changed colors on civs

thanks.

One thing you haven't mentioned is what the system specs are with the computer you're running the game on. Huge maps like you have with 16 civs can challenge some of the best on the market right now. So if your system isn't top of the line, that might be your problem right there.

true, i would expect a performance problem and not a crash though. i've had large games crash while still in the ancient era too.

my system specs are:
dell c800 laptop
1 gig mhz
geforce 2 go 32 mb
512 meg ram
running 1600x1200 game resolution

I had the game crash on me in the late industrial age, also on a huge map with 16 civs. Since I started it quite a while ago -- I think before any patches came out -- I believe the size was actually greater than the current "Huge". I had a vast empire, by far the biggest in the game. I had just completed about one or two hour's worth of micromanagement (maybe some day, I should learn to let my governors handle things in most of my cities). When I tried to save all of my beautiful work, it was evidently too much for my poor computer. "System dangerously low on resources!" I lost all my work (none of it was autosaved, as it was all in the space of one turn).

I haven't played the game much since then, so I don't know if it'll happen again. I did get past that spot though, so at least I know I won't be stuck there.

Leo: I'm not that much into mapping but as far as I know you cannot convert Civ2 maps to Civ3 (feel free to correct me). I think you'd have to rebuild it.

But check the Apolyton maps section first (apolyton.net/dir) and look if someone else did it already.

Someone produced a Civ III map of Middle Earth, but I forget where I saw it.
