[frostycreep]

I have downloaded a couple of maps from various websites but i dont know how to play with them! Where do i put them? Ive downloaded them into a file on my desktop and dont know where to put them from there. Sorry to sound like a complete newbie.

Have a look at the picture atteched to this message. The scenario BIC files are supposed to be placed under the X:\...\Civ III\Scenarios folder as seen in the screenshot.

Oh, yes, you may want to know that you simply start a scenario by selecting the scenario option in the Civ III main menu and then select the scenario you want to play.

You are actually using all the 'fluff' that comes with WINXP. I tried it,but I just can't handle it. TO MUCH to do 'bout nothing.

Yeap, you're right. All visual effects, except cursor shadow are in use. I do understand that everyone doesn't like the XP look, but you can easily change to the Windows Classic theme.

That's more or less what I did

once you have downloaded any Scenario ,copy it to c:\..\civ 3\Scenarios\ folder.
run civ 3 then load the map through load scenarios menu...
