Is the Civ 3 Complete pack (or any such pack) compatible for multiplayer
games with the original releases of VC3 + C3C (assuming everything is
patched up to date)?
Ta,

I have just re-loaded everything from Windows upwards.
I want to re-load Civ 3 (of course) but don't want to lose my hall of fame
data (it has - for me - some impressive stats on it).
Where do I find the files? Is is just the file called Highscores.cv3 file?

How the * do I abandon a city in V Civ 3?
often late in the game I end up with too many cities (corruption problems)
and it would be nice to get rid of (sell improvements first etc) some of the
ones which were in OK locations in the early game but later on are just too

After all this time I've just started playing PTW although I've had Civ3 a
couple of years. It's crap. I went back to Alpha Centauri to make a quick
reminder comparison. Civ3 doesn't come close. They should rip up the route

Dear users of News.Individual.NET,

Everyone keeps posting about what they would like to see or change in
Civ 4.... but what would you want to KEEP from Civ 3???

Are the two science wonders cumulative like in Civ2, or do they have to be
built in separate cities?

Hi civvers
Any good sites for civ 4 info?
Will they make it addictive fun like Civ 2 - I doubt it
No need to explore, no trade routes, AI over expands, bogged down in massive

I haven't played Civ3 for a while but recently started again with
