Hi all, I am new and I am having a problem getting my Civilization III
Gold Edition to play. It loaded fine and I didn't get any error
messages.  It just won't play.  Can anyone help me please?

You must use Disk 1 to play all three games.  I'd make a shortcut to each
of the three games, if I were you.

Any ideas on how to update the game to Vista? I keep getting video
error messages.

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
the backside while trying to play the game.

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.

Looking for someone to play by email civ 3 conquests. Let me know who
is out there.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if we can edit the list of city names if I'm not
playing a scenario?  I like the default game but I'd rather use my own
list of cities.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

Easiest way is to just rename them one at a time as you settle.
Otherwise go to CIVIII editor (or PTW or Conquests), create a scenario
name, enter the editors custom settings, go to Civiizations, find
yours, highlight the city names, delete them and type your new names.
If you leave everything else alone you will still retain your basic
game.  You might however go to the map, select your country from the
toolbar, and place your own starting location on some of the better
real estate.

The Instructions on how to spy is very vague in the manual. Does anyone
know how to spy? It says plant a spy. But we cant create a spy anymore.
I need specific instructions; ie the buttons (where they are in the
game), what we need to click etc. All I can do in espionage is
investigate city and steal technology. Any help is appreciate it. my
email : fajaryanto@...

It is easier to plant a spy if you are a Communist civilization.  That
being said, a Democracy can plant a spy, if it waits a few turns to do
so.  The most useful thing a spy can do is show the location of the other
country's forces.
