Hi! Merry Christmas to all!
I am playing Civ3 on my notebook which unfortunately I cannot LAN to my PC and doesn't have a working floppy drive. Before the LAN refused to work, I was able to install Civ3 there and put in Marla's World Map version 1.17, so that's what I'm currently stuck with.
I've edited Roman Civ to my preferences and edited the scenario rules to my liking (less corruption and fixed some unit stats), and saved it both under the original filename (Marla's World Map), and under a new filename. I've also set the opponent Civs down to 7 namely:
America
Aztecs
England
Zulu
Egypt
China
Japan
I've been having no luck with the 'fix start position' feature, so I decided to put the right Civ on the right start position, and did so for the 7 Civs then placed my Civ on the Roman start position.
Here's where my troubles began. Under both the original filename and under the new filename, the 'fix start position' still does not work. "Oh, well, I put them on their right start positions anyway." No such luck. I do get MY start position right, but then China is to my left, around where Spain is, Egypt is to my NE, America is where NewYork should be and the Aztecs are around Florida. It's about 2000-something BC on the game already and Japan and Zulu haven't put up a capital city yet. I check this by quitting the game and checking the sort of replay afterwards, the one before the warrior hammers the scale.
What am I doing wrong? I've tried checking off 'preserve random seed' and 'culturally link start positions' and almost everything else I can think of (I am unchecking this in the game, the scenario has those on). I don't know what else to do.
BTW, when I do try to fix the start positions by clicking the "Correct Start Positions", it pops up a window with "Invalid Type", then I can't load the "FIXED.SAV" file.
Any help appreciated! Thank you for your time!
