quote: Originally posted by Shiber 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!

Umm, just to clear things up, I posted this so that people who are trying but are unable to burn backup copies of their game (which AFAIK is completely legal) could overcome the difficulties involved. By no means am I encouraging anyone to actually burn an illegal copy of this game.
I have paid full price both for Civ3 and PTW, and I'm proud of it.

hi ,

indeed you should be proud of it

the more people buy legal , the more money the company gets , this means more money for patches , more for research and development , etc , ....

everyone wins if you buy it , everyone loses when you copycat , ....

a proud paying legal owner of CIV I , II and III and PTW

have a nice day
