Witt - you are right. We all have copies.

Which means we should win by default for being the first team to hit 100% ownership.

I've got PTW in britain, but I'm wanting to install the 1.14patch , though its not released here. (i've got 1.01 )
Any idea when it will be released?

Theres a lso some errors in 1.14 on PBEM, that allow cheating , I won't say them in case people dont know about them.

I don't think it really matters anymore; we just wanted to make sure that enough people had the game to start playing (which has long since been established).

But if you really want to announce it, more power to you.

The game finally arrived at my door yesterday.
Well, not really at my door, more like at the local post office, but who minds the details anyway.

I have my copy!

Although I'm worried about it. Sometimes it has trouble starting up. Too many smudges on the cd I guess.

That's due to the fact that Infogrames standard policy is to use low grade CDs for its products.

Infrogrames has a reputation for extremely poor customer service and product quality. Of course it looks good on the bottom line, when your paying $.01 per CD and the rest of the industry is paying 10 times that to provide CDs that will always work.

so...do you improve quality/reliability by burning a copy, using a higher quality cd, like a TDK for instance?

I have tried to burn backup copies of my Civ CD's, including PTW. Those copies never worked.

In the past few years, there has been much development in the area of anti-piracy mechanisms. These days, corporates actually have ways to prevent you from burning their product even if you make an exact replica rawdata-wise. For example, I've read about a mechanism that does not allow the game to run if the CD it's loading from is not coated with the same material that the original CDs are. I think it can tell by the intensity of the returning signal that the drive picks up, or by the condensity of read errors returned.
Anyway, every lock has a key. Check Game Copy World, they have cracks and burning instructions per-game.

Good luck!

Yep, and I suspect the criminal(s) to be a student.
It happened in a student org. office,
and I assume the door was locked. A very odd incident indeed.
(i think i need to start some investigations)

So if someone called "studentatplagueratsschool' tries to join Apolyton, we can nail him.

If the Civ-thief really dare to join here, I will need to ask Markos to track down his IP so I can go visit the criminal some day, , and tie him to a chair and post the civ3-pics of Catharina the Great inside his glasses... So he has something really ugly to watch while I am deleting all his savegames.
