This was originally posted on Civfanatics, but it's disturbing enough that the word should be spread here.
Despite claims that C3C included PTW, it doesn't really include everything in PTW. Namely, the user-made files that came with PTW and the special units made by Firaxis (i.e. WWII units) are not in C3C.
This isn't so bad, I suppose, except that there is one really big problem for PTW users like me--not only does C3C not come with those extras, if you install it over an existing PTW, it will actually delete them. That's right--it will erase the special units and mods from your hard drive.
I'm hoping this is not true, but the posts at Civfanatics are pretty unambiguous:
Now, someone has said it didn't delete their files, so I'm wondering what's up.
Firaxis: If true, this simply isn't acceptable. I shouldn't have to worry about an XP deleting those files from my HD. This would render my current PTW games inoperable, since I heavily use the special units and modded terrain sets. I'm hoping this was merely an oversight and an update will fix it.
If it's not the case, well then... never mind!
