![]() ![]() If that happens, click where the CA2 icon SHOULD show below the top-left icon and you'll be good to go. On switching back, often it seems like your mouse is ignored. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to pull up the Task Manager and then switch. In general atm I'm having trouble switching away from Civ3. You are supposed to be able to pull it up over Civ3 by clicking an icon below the row of 3 others in the upper left of the screen, but I'm not currently seeing that icon. (CA2 does a lot of other stuff, too).ĬA2 mines Civ3 datafiles for info every load or save operation. ![]() Makes planning a trade turn much easier and faster than wandering back and forth thru the Diplomacy screens. If you run CivAssist II alongside Civ3, you can switch to it to see what other civs would want from you and what they have that you would want. There's a ton more, and frankly I don't use more than a fraction of the info it offers, but it takes the drudgery out of tracking a lot of the minutiae of Civ3, without actually directly affecting anything in gameplay.In order to make that trading easier, you can download a companion program: CivAssist II. The trading screens will tell you who has things to trade that you might want (and how much gold) and what you have to trade that each other player would want, as well as what existing agreements you may have and when they will expire. For example, the Alerts screen will (optionally) tell you how many cities are working unimproved tiles (and give names), when a competitor changes government type, when cities are on the verge of revolt, how much production wastage each city that completed producing something the previous turn had and much more. CA2 monitors Civ3 game saves and loads and parses the last-accessed save file for info on your game, which it then presents in fashions often easier to assimilate than the game itself. Click it, and CA2 pops up over Civ3 (click it again and it hides). It does kind of mod the game, in that it adds a button to the upper left corner of the screen (below the ones for the Civilopedia and Advisors). What I do recommend is a companion program called Civ Assist II (CA2). Any mod that hasn't been updated in the last 2 or 3 months may conflict. Just a note of caution: Steam recently broadcast an update to switch multiplayer hosting from now-defunct GameSpy to Steam. I haven't used any mods, so I can't really recommend. ![]()
