We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

You lost 7 cavs, 4 muskets and Niagara Falls.

Bastard
I have to go out but I had to look first. I couldnt figure out how a force could have even reached Niagara Falls, never mind take it with those losses.

Game bombed on something related to frigates, which are misspelled drigates in this version. See attachment.
I'm going to replay the last turn I had later, and not build any drigates to see if that works. if it does, maybe an agreement to remain drigateless will be in order.Illegitimi Non CarborundumComment

I will also build a drigate or two this turn!
Did the game bomb as the drigate was created (ie Mpondo had built a drigate) or sometime else. This may be a kind of error we can fix since its probably just a typo. On the other hand, the changes might not take effect in this game file which wouldnt be very good for us.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

hard to say, but maybe the drigate was the next build to occur. we will see. a new file without zulu drigate builds will come to Spencer soon.Illegitimi Non CarborundumComment

How far back in time did you go?
I'm not 100% sure but I think we may be able to hack this by altering a couple of letters in the PediaIcons file (if you're game).We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

I suppose thats true since we'll have ironclads soon enough. I was just looking forward to sinking that damn galley!
Lets wait for an Eli comment. I've already posted a rant on the PBEM bugs.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

If Jshelr is game this may be a fix
Needless to say, back up these files before trying this
I'm assuming you've done a standard install for file locations
Look in C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Text
Yes wordpad is fine as a text editor. Find the following text
#ICON_PRTO_Frigate
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatelarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatesmall.pcx
and change to
#ICON_PRTO_Drigate
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatelarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatesmall.pcx
#ICON_PRTO_Frigate
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatelarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatesmall.pcx
Further down find
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Frigate
Frigate
Change to
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Drigate
Frigate
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Frigate
Frigate
The PediaIcons may need to be changed in this file (I didnt test if it was required but it doesnt crash if you do make the change)
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Text
#ICON_PRTO_Frigate
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatelarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatesmall.pcx
Change to
#ICON_PRTO_Drigate
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatelarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatesmall.pcx
#ICON_PRTO_Frigate
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatelarge.pcx
art\civilopedia\icons\units\31frigatesmall.pcx
This allows both drigates and frigates to be built without crashes
