It works on Windows 2000 and XP, I don't know about NT 4.0."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Not so fast, Civ2MP and ToT both ran fine on NT 4.0 despite requiring Dirext 5.0 or higher. The only DirectX component used was actually Directplay. Civ2MP didn't need anything else.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

So, anybody tried to run under Windows NT?Comment

The game will not allow you to install under NT. If you could figure out a method of bypassing the OS check then you could maybe install it, but I am not sure if it would actually run.Comment

Some hacks in the registry would do the trick, but that's only for the brave. You could try installing it under W98 and try running it under NT afterwards.
Note this might also require copy&pasting a few registry lines to NT or a Civ3crack (easier and safer).Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness.
