* Implemented Seafaring civs starting near the coast in MP games.

* MPTournament: Captured cities retain culture
* MPTournament: Turn slices lowered from 24(base)/3(per-city)/1(per-unit) to 16/2/1
* MP: City goodie hut spawns are not possible in Elimination Mode
* Fixed QuickCiv Description 
* Shifted minimap and unit info boxes slightly inward to prevent problems with scrolling and button-clicking.
* Re-enabled Intel optimizations from PTW.


Additions:
* Implemented Allow Scientific Leaders Rule
* Implemented ability to enter a seed value on the world setup screen. It is located in the upper-right corner. Any character can be entered as the seed. If the seed is 0 (the default), it will generate the world normally. If every character is a number, the value is interpreted as the seed value and used to generate the world. In all other cases, a hash table formula is applied to the string to generate a unique value that is used to generate the world. While it is technically possible for two different strings to evaluate to the same seed, it is unlikely (i.e., SEED is not the same as DEES -- upper- and lower-case letters will yield 
different results as well).
* Implemented the "Play Last World" option. This option appears on the main menu after playing the first SP random-map game. When chosen, the player is taken to the world chooser with the seed filled in and all the previous settings selected. The player can make any changes or keep the world exactly the same. Note that if ANY changes are made on this screen, the map that is generated will be different. Next the player is taken to the player setup screen with all the civs and settings from the previous game 
selected. Again, the player can make any changes or keep the settings the same. If ANY civs are changed, player starting locations MAY change (depending on the number of seafaring civs, actually). 
* Implemented support for CAPS LOCK to work as the SHIFT key to skip unit movement animations (so you don't have to hold shift for the AI's turn to skip the animations).
* The MP timer values are now read from scenarios (the default values remain unchanged).
* Editor: Added MP timer values to the Scenario Properties. There are 3 values: Base, Per Unit, and Per City (with defaults of 24, 1, and 3, respectively). They represent the Base amount of time per turn + the amount of time Per Unit + the amount of time Per City (number of units/cities used each turn are based on the player with the most units and the player with the most cities on that turn). The values can range from 0-100. The higher the number, the more time per turn. The scenario MPFastCiv3Conquests was added to demonstrate this change. You may not notice much of a difference initially but the turns quickly become faster as you get more cities and units.



NOTES:
* City view is disabled while playing the Conquests. This was done because the creation of art assets to fit every scenario was considered a lower priority than expanded gameplay.
* City view art for the New Wonders do not appear in the City View screen. Sorry.
* Corruption is always going to be a huge debate but we hope you enjoy the changes that have been made.



Thanks for all of the support!

III - DIRECTX AND COMPATIBILITY
----------------------------------

"Civilization III: Conquests" requires Microsoft DirectX 9.0b
drivers installed and correctly functioning on your system. Following the
installation of DirectX 9.0b you will need to relaunch the 
Civilization III: Conquests installation program. 

If you experience difficulty with DirectX 9.0b, contact your
sound or video card manufacturers to obtain their latest drivers.



IV - VIDEO CARD CAPABILITY
-------------------------
The video card and software drivers must be DirectX 9.0b compatible. 
If you experience problems or difficulty with graphics, contact your 
card manufacturer for the latest documentation 
and drivers. 



V - DISK CAPACITY AND SWAPFILE SPACE
--------------------------------------

Regardless of your "Civilization III: Conquests" installation 
choice it is mandatory that you have at least 400MB free space 
on your hard drive before running the game.

VII - ADDITIONAL NOTES
------------------------------
INSTALLATION: Installing Conquests within a nest of folders can force the installation to close. Many computers require a moderate # of levels within a folder group. This will only become a problem for those people that installed Civilization III to a deep folder. 
IE: C:\Games\Strategy\Turn-Based\Civilization Series\Third Installment\Firaxis Games\

If you receive an installation error while copying files to your computer, please check the CD for scratches, dust, and dirt. After cleaning the CD, attempt to re-install. If cleaning does not prevent the error, please contact the store you purchased Civilization III: Conquests to obtain an exchange copy of the game. The common cause of failed installations is a bad CD burn.

The DIRECTX installation recognizes DirectX 9.0a as 9.0b. We recommend that you install 9.0b to prevent any potential problems.


COMPATIBILITY: Users should download the latest service pack and Critical Updates for Windows to ensure that their computers are up to date with the latest drivers and protection. This can easily be obtained by selecting TOOLS->Windows Updates while in Internet Explorer. Windows Updates can help prevent or stop instability and compatibility issues. Please also make sure that you have the latest video and sound drivers from the hardware's manufacturer.


MULTIPLE CD-ROM DRIVES: The Autorun menu does not function correctly if the CD is inserted into a secondary CD-ROM Drive. We recommend that the primary drive always be used.


MULTIPLAYER:
For Internet Multiplayer, please be aware that only 1 player PER GAME can be behind an unconfigured and closed firewall! The player who is behind the firewall should join last since any players joining after them will not be able to connect.

With Multiplayer behind a Firewall, it is important that DirectPlay Port #2303 also be opened. This is a new port used with DirectX 9.0b and helps improve connectivity. Please see the manual for more information regarding the appropriate port addresses to open to allow game hosting. Please consult your routers manual to ensure that you are opening the ports correctly.

Multiplayer Locked Alliances: Human players must be set for both teams or the game will immediately end.


GAMEPLAY:
Disasters such as plague and volcanic eruption do not occur in multiplayer games.

ARMIES: Besides the abilities listed in the Civilopedia, an Army unit also has the "Blitz" capability (it can attack twice in the same turn), its movement rate has been increased by one, and units in an Army heal faster than they would if they were not within the Army unit.

CAPTURED WORKERS: In order to differentiate a foreign (i.e., captured or enslaved) worker unit, it now displays different unit art than the standard worker. 

Note: Captured workers work at 50% the speed of regular workers.


WONDER VICTORY: The "Wonder Victory" is actually a Time Limit type of victory condition; i.e., when the Wonder Victory is in effect, the game ends immediately upon completion of the last Great Wonder.


CONQUEST - AGE OF DISCOVERY:  No civilization may build a city on a forest or jungle in this scenario.  Also, note that you earn 500 VPs each time you capture a treasure from another civilization.


SAVE FILE COMPATIBILITY:  In general, it is recommended that any game started in Civilization 3 or Play The World should be finished before installing the Conquests expansion.  Nevertheless, saved games from those previous versions will load into Conquests.  It is recommended that Civilization 3 saved games be first loaded into Play The World and resaved.  Then these new Play The World saved games can be loaded into Conquests.  Loading Civilization 3 saved games directly into Conquests should not be attempted.
