Hey, I think "Fireaxis" is a better name than "Firaxis."

Don't worry Paddy, your not as think as we drunk you are.

And if that made any sense, then yes, you have had one too many beers, and a few hours too little sleep.

thanks for that I think

Fireaxis is a better name for them, I like to throw them on the fire some days

ahh, Rommel talked me into have multiple sessions for when new patches come out...

in this way I have PTW, C3C 1.15 and C3C 1.20

a little maddening, but it gets the job done for now

as to the game play, I am playing through a game now, and all seems to flow smoothly, well as smooth as these games go

[Melboz99]

Due to the concerns here on the forums I have sent the game without the patch.

Sent to Paddy, without the patch.

and onto Wittlich at 1.15

V1.15

Okay, now I'm confused.

Where did you guys get version 1.15?

I'm currently running v1.12 beta

Is 1.15 small enough for one of you guys to email it to me? I looked at both Firaxis and the Civ3.com websites, Firaxis only has v1.20 and Civ3.com only goes up to v1.12 beta.

Hope this doesn't cause any problems,

onto melboz, along with links to donwload the required patches

[Melboz99]

Alright, I have some serious issues with v1.15.

First off, caps is backwards. I had to type in my password with capslock on, however, backspace does not work. I finnally got into the game, and found that numlock was backwards, and the hotkeys don't work. Finnaly, I tried to check what units were in a city and it brought up the build menu. That's about the time I had it and exited the game.

Any advice on how I can fix these issues would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan O.

[Melboz99]

Okay, I rebooted and everything now runs fine.

PS. anyone got any advice on how do deal with a barbarian camp that has 8 horsmen and a warrior in it? It's a long ways off from my base, but one horseman has already killed one of my settlers and is threatening a town.

I can make swordsmen, but even then, I'll have to load them onto Galleys (I think that's what I have) and risk running into the barb galleys. The encampment is on a coastal square. I have one galley going that way with a warrior, but it won't be near enough. I have two elite warriors real close to the encampment, but I still don't think that 3 warriors can do the job. Maybe if I were to get some kind of ship that could bombard I could attack from sea. What's the earliest tech that will let me do that?

I think from my nearest port city it will take about 10 turns to get to the encampent, possibly up to 15. This could be a long, drawn out war against the barbarians.

[smellymummy]

a long drawn out war against barbarians! cool

you can bombard with frigates, thats the earliest, and it needs magnetism.

[Melboz99]

Who knows, maybe if I find their leader, his name will be Osama?

[smellymummy]

Osama the barbarian? has a catchy ring to it...
