How could you free-discover something with France? They're not Scientific!

Oh, and the poll option is YES (see sig)

You're right, I meant to write Greece. My mind must have slipped.

[Shiber]

Is it just me or does the trade advisor say not likely to the first part of the plan? (buying currency from france)
In fact when I ask the French what they would charge for currency they suggest all my money, some gpt and a WM.

Please tell me there's something wrong with my game.

[Epistax]

I am not currently in the position to check, but I'm sure those #'s for prices are equal to the amounts of money those civs have. Gee people sure like accusing on a whim.

[Shiber]

The plan doesn't work. Period.
The trade advisor says it's unlikely that the Persians will part from Currency for 312g and a TM. When asked what they would like for Currency, the Persians ask for all our money (499g), some gpt and and our WM. Now I know the AIs will usually settle for less, but all our money and gpt? No, impossible. The price is waaaay too high, plus it would drain our treasury and we won't be able to upgrade as many warriors as we want when we get the iron.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Shiber, after the 1.29 patch, the AI considers tech worth much more money. If you have the patch installed, then you wont be able to follow along our turns until we move up to it.

If you ARE using 1.21, then I don't know why there is a difference.

-edit-

We aren't buying from the Persians. Read the plan!

[Shiber]

Really, we aren't?
I remember reading a thread about patching up a while back when I was still a lurker. I thought we moved up eventually. I also thought that loading a game saved by someone who has a different version of the game than yours is impossible.
I guess I learned two new things today.

Anyway I'm glad to hear that I'm wrong! Two techs for the price of 104 gold (or 56 if you count the money we'll get from selling our other techs) is a great bargain.
Btw, I meant to write French, it just came out Persians. See my previous post, it says French.
Doesn't matter though, they're both asking for the same amount of money in my version.

[Shiber]

Is there any way of returning to version 1.21?
I know it's not possible in the conventional way (through a patch), but I was hoping someone can point me out to a website which has the original game files and old patches. Or maybe one of you can send me his gamefiles, if you know which ones are altered by the patch.

[Kuciwalker]

Shiber - backup your saves, uninstall Civ3, reinstall Civ3, load patch 1.21.

[Epistax]

Run the 1.29 patch. It will run uninstall. Run the 1.21 patch. It will run uninstall. Run it a second time, it will install.


1.21 patch will reinstall right away if you uninstalled it before installing 1.29
