Mods-Plz dont move this to help forum

Ill post this Question once more.
Ive tried many things but cant seem to edit the rules of a saved game so I assume you cant(correct me if Im wrong).

In all my new games I have disabled interception and tweaked fighter stats to make them more like small bombers(or fighter-bombers if you will).

However I still want to finish a saved game that I started before I discovered I could do this.(It's an excellent game-very close.)

So this question is for those of you that has played WITH the Int. bug.

Should I even build fighters and if so how do I use them in an effective way?

Moderators--Please-please-PLEASE-dont move this to help forum again.I got only one response over there and it was from a chieftain telling me to uncheck Int. box.I already knew that.

All the vets are over here and rarely look at the help forum.
The help forum is full of newbes(like myself) who cant get answers so they come here(where they are prompty Flamed for not reading the help forum)



So my Question remains--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHOULD I BUILD THEM--HOW SHOULD I EMPLOY THEM?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THNX IN ADVANCE

Thanx but I dont want to hack my files. Heck Im waiting for the patch.

Im just looking for a way around the bug in the meantime.

Ahh the hell with it ---Forget about stratigies--
Just tell me if I should build Fighters or not.sheesh

Ill figure out my own strategies but I dont Want to spend the next 20 turns building fighters only to find out when I go to war that I wasted my time ,Resorces, AND maintenence costs for a worthless unit.

So please someone

SHOULD I BUILD THEM?

You mean that you want to change the rules in the middle of a game? That's easy. The rules of the game aren't stored in the save file. If a game is using the default rules, the rules are taken directly from the civ3mod.bic file. Just save the changes to that file and the when you load the saved game it will use those rules. Make a backup of the civ3mod.bic before you change it, though!
