Ok

Still not working

Here is what i did

#1-tried opening from email which is what CTP does

didnt work so I emailed you and followed directions

#2-tried launching as a load file and did it two ways, first the save in CIVIII/Saves then CIVIII/Conquests/saves

Both got the following error

DATAIO operation system error: BIC

Please help

I am now going to try loading the PBEM Play The World Monarch game I am attempting to play

Il post there if I can/can not get it to load

CTP is so simple

End the turn and it goes to desktop

You simply load from the email

after played then you can move to a saved folder

Ok

Ill await a response

got it no problem

other things to consider are luxury tiles, i.e. :

grapes, incense, game, whales,

other resources come in with time, i.e:

iron, horses, saltpeter

these are needed to build units (swordsman, musketman)

try to get these within your city raduis or use a settler to build a colony
