Thread closed. Go Here instead.
Well,
since my first thread has passed the 500 posts limit (with good margin) I think it is time for a second thread.
You will need VB runtime to use this utility. You can get the files needed from the linked setup file or the files listed in the readme and in the post.
Version history
Perversion-number versions
CopyUnit - A prototype that could copy only units
That version later got a worldsize and civilization copy function.
When the Tech copy function were added the program was renamed to Civ3CopyTool
This thread was started with the version supporting buildings. That version had a bug duplicating a value in the BICs and a new version were created.
Next change was an addition of Eras, but they were disabled (among with the civ copy) in the next version, that featured resources and terrains.
Bugs with Tech copy fixed and Citizens added in the next version.
The next could copy civs again after some modification had been made.
In the version after that the ability to rename units that were copied, and in the same time copy the graphics were added.
