Are you using C3 Complete?  If so you might be using the wrong map
editor.  There is one for Vanilla C3, PTW, and Conquests.  This is a
shot in the dark without more specific information about your
situation.  Perhaps you can elaborate more.  rr

Robert:

I am using the 2001 edition that has the map editor. the exact phrase that I am seeing is "Not a valid save file." My main question therefore is; how do I create a new map that I can open and play or, how do I open an existing game map and modify it and then be able to open it and play it later.

Thank you for your help

Craig

This is also Civ 4, but for finding PBEM opponents, you'll have better luck on the C3PBEML-List.

Build the Great Library. Trade Technology. When you learn a technology, on the same turn, shop it around to all the civilizations and see what you can get for it.

It will also help to play as a scientific civ, and as a combined with a commercial or industrious civ.

You must use Disk 1 to play all three games.  I'd make a shortcut to each

I am running Conquests under Vista, it took a little work. On your desktop shortcut for the game, go into the properties and go to the compatibility tab. Turn on compatibility mode and set it for XP SP2. In the privilege level tell it to run the program as an administrator.

For some reason that did not work, I just keep getting that message
every 60 seconds, and stays there for like 20 seconds. A real pain in

Oz, you absolutely MUST have the MANUAL that came with the game to play it. Seriously.

I remember going through the same thing years back with the very first version of Civ. (smile) My sister and I were going nuts trying to reason it all out.

Check this link:
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&_trksid=m37&satitle=civilization+III+manual&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=97217&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=32%26fsoo%3D2&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=

I'd suggest trying eBay or Amazon -- you can get it cheap there.

Frankly, we've also got the HINT book for Civ III. But you can locate loads of that stuff online...

(We're not spring chickens, either. But Civ is a great game for all ages...)

Good luck!

There is a manual folder on your CIV3 CD. That folder contains the
instructions. Just right-click the game icon and choose "Explore". Then
right-click & "Explore" the manual folder. You should also have a
Tutorial option when playing. Soon, you'll tell your grandkids how well
you conquered.

Shields come from mining the countryside, wealth comes from roads, marketplaces, banks. Defend is to guard your cities, etc. Produce a military unit, warrior, spearmen, etc and fortify them in your cities. You may also want to station military units on your special resources like saltpeter, iron, etc. This is especially beneficial in the early game to keep the barbarians from pillaging the resource.
