As a professor on that field, I would like to promote the use of
Renewable Energies in CIV3. While other technologies are discussed
quite deeply, the use of renewables in CIV 3 (esp. Solar and Wind) was
superficial. Power output of renewables is sufficient to supply all

I can not get Civ 3 to install on my hard disk. when I run the
setup.exe file it asks if I want to completely uninstall the program.
But the install program, (either the autorun or setup file), never
shows me an install button only a uninstall and a reinstall button

I've had the civ3 Gold edition and just upgraded to Conquests, I tried to
download the 1.22 patch for Conquests, but must have chose the wrong option,
cause I could no longer play the game.  So I uninstalled it, both Gold and
Conquests.  When I try to re-install I don't have the ...

I have never even got to modern times with Civ 3. Just takes too long to
get the advances.
Also, if I get steam power there is never coal on the continent and
usually the only iron is in another civ's area.

Dug this out again yesterday, and had the most amazing luck with the
start position. Obtained all 4 specialisations from the Indians within a
few squares, loads of special resources, and no other marauding
Europeans. :)

I bought Gold right before Complete came out.  What is the cheapest /
easiest way for me to upgrade to Complete?
Thanks,

I'm hoping that someone has encountered this before or might know what is
causing this...
I bought Civilization III and installed it on a 64mb machine and it worked
fine. Recently I install another 256mb of RAM to a total of 320mb. At the

Stupid question: in Civ 3 Conquests, how do I reload a saved LAN game? I
saved it like a regular single player game. It seems that the Multiplayer
screen only allows for launching new games.. I don't see an option to load.
Please help, thanks!

I had a mutual defense pact with India expire while we were both
at war with Babylon. I did not renew it.
Not wishing to "destroy" Babylon I offered it rubber and oil (which they had
none)

Has anyone ever played a game solely to accumulate as much gold as
possible? If so, how much did you accumulate? :)
Perhaps there's a programmed limit?
IIRC in one of my old favs, Colonization, you could only get around

Sorry if this has been up before, but if you create a new scenario, you get
an option to specify a certain "seed"-number. What does this accomplish?
There's also the option when you start a new game, to preserve the "seed"?
I assume it's some kind of randomization, am I right?

I am currently playing a game as the Vikings. When I try to make a Berserker
the game crashes. This has happened before. Has anyone else had this problem
and how did you fix it. I am sure I have the latest patch.

I'm currently playing CivIII with the Conquest/PTW add-on and was wonderign
what affects the final score? I know the basic factors are difficulty
levels, number of opponents and maybe advances, but what about aggression
levels, world size/age/climate or who you choose? Do any of ...

Lots of people complained about new unit types losing to older ones.
Some answers said that it can be explained by saying that this outdates
units use some of the modern technology (ex. tank vs. rifleman - the
rifleman could use some grenades, bazookas etc, but not as much as ...

This is weird. I`m playing a scenario (that came with the game) and
after a while (this is while develoing "future tech 3") the game
suddenly jumps back to the menu (the opening screen). No warning, no
message, nothing...it just jumps back. Am I doing something wrong or is
