I was going to go into a long war with Egypt, so I switched to "Time Of
War" mode; at a certain point I declared war on Greeks too. After I took
their only city wiping their civilization away, I found the game has
switched to Normal mode, in spite of the fact I was still at war with

How do you place a spy in an enemy's country?  The manual mentions it
and so does the Civilopedia but they don't make it clear how to do it.  
I have Espionage and I have embassies in China and Japan, the only two
countries left besides me (Greece), so it ought to be possible.  I ...

Myself and a few others have been playing internet games for only a few
weeks. It mentions in either the ptw readme or faq, that the quickest
connection should host. Having broadband, that means me!
Now my problem. I have broadband, i have a wireless router, i have windows

In C3C version 1.22 I have this bug: Some AI civilizations never send out
settlers and keep sitting there with their starting city only.

I've tried building courthouses in many cities, but they don't seem to
actually do anyting. I can look at a city screen with a courthouse and, say,
income of 20 coins, of which 10 are corrupted (red), and 20 shields, of
which 5 are corrupted. Then I sell off the courthouse, and ...

My C3C game started with animations for movements.  Now, late in the
game moves happen in a flash.  I have checked prefs, and 'show moves'
etc are all still checked.  Is it a corrupted save file, or something I
have done?

Some questions.
1. Will I get the advance from two civs even if I did not make contact
with either of them? Or do I have to know them first?
2. How important is this wonder on the kind of map I play? I play on a

Here's a few things I'd like to see.
1. Courthouses should give culture, since it is a place where the
  social mores of the country are enforced.
2. New small wonder: Supreme Court.  It acts just like Forbidden

Canals, dangit.  I love this game, but ya oughta be able to build canals.
Here's th' terms:
1) They should be hideously expensive, requiring more worker-turns than
clearing a jungle.

In Conquests (the rise of Roman Empire) there seems to be an error. I
built a city with gems on its radius yet gems never comes up as a
luxury item. I have ivory, wines, incense, dyes etc. But no gems. All
cities are connected by harbours and all roads are connected to the

Which is the latest patch for Conquests, UK version? I'm looking for final
versions, not betas. Apolyton has one for downloading (1.22), but it seems
that it is not available through official channels yet (www.civ3.com and
Atari website). Any help appreciated.

Hi again Guys,
Are all these mods any good?  I've seen a few that allow for multiple unit
sprites and ones where the terrain is made to look a lot richer and more
detailed.  Plus there are the ones suggested by AK47 in his recent

In wich way C3C "includes" PTW ?
I mean, I've seen once on a box of C3C the mention : "this games includes
PTW" but i'm a little doubtful about it knowing how extensions usually work

What's the most recent version of powerbar?
The only one I could find on civfanatics is v3.6 which is a year old.
I've only got ptw 1.27 so that may be good enuf, but I'd like to get the
most recent version if I can find it.

I'm interested in moving CivIII,PTW & C3C to a new PC and am wondering
what is necessary to load. I assume I'll need vanilla CivIII, PTW, C3C
and the latest C3C patch v. 1.2. What about a Civ III patch (1.29 was
the latest one for me) or a PTW patch?  I assume that
