can't launch spaceship

[linkager]

After building all components of the spaceship, I can no longer use the "view spaceship status" icon, and don't know how to launch

The ship launches automatically and ends the game. If you can't view and the ship did not launch you lost already.

IOW the game must have concluded.

The game is still ongoing, but I had won a cultural domination earlier, and decided to continue playing. Perhaps this is why?

[vondrack]

Yes, that's why.

same..

I also could not launch the spaceship.
Is that I must be the first one to build every components for the spaceship, or just the frst one to finish??

one more thing, how could we know whether we had won the game already?? is there a program to run to see I had won (for exmaple in culture in yr 1984)

I had came to 2072AD already, really sick of civ3..just want to finish...but I can't even remember my initial setting for victory.. anywhere to get a program to force the game to finish in next round??

The first one to build all components will launch the SS and no one else will be able to do it.

Look at the highscore.cv3 file and you can see your game and if you lost or won.

The game has offically ended at 2050, regardless of settings. So you can stop anytime you want, including never.

You should have seen a msg saying you face manditory retirement in 20 years at 2030AD. You then get the game ending events, if you choose not to continue.

Oh, I might let the enemy force started some components earlier than I do. But, I sure finished all of the components earlier than my enemy did.

There is no notice for me about anybody launch their rocket. And I could not access my rocket page.

Surprisingly, I didn't get a msg of manditory retirement at yr2030. I got no choice to chose an ending, and I am still playing until yr2072. that's why I like to know how to end the game and let me enter the highscore board.
