Game Complete.  Report Written.

FWIW, and I'll step back if this treads into spoiler territory, that isn't true. The usual diplomatic mechanics apply. Tech trading is turned off, but you can make resource deals as usual with your rival, and try to curry his favor with gifts/religion/civics.

Maybe just my system, but while playing through my (aborted) attempt at Adventure 10, I had many, many failed screenshot problems. Sometimes, I'd have to press the Print Screen button 5 or 6 times to get one that didn't give the error message. Does it maybe have something to do w/ folders or permissions or something?

Hi,

Does it maybe have something to do w/ folders or permissions or something? If access permissions would be the problem, then screenshots would not take at all. If at least some screenshots were saved successfully, folder access permissions aren't the problem.

Hi,
Game complete. Wouldn't have thought I could squeeze this one in between Epic 6 and 8. But I've found a way...

Who wouldn't have thought that? Any of the hordes who remember that you played far more of the Civ3 Epics than anybody else did?

Are barbarians enabled? Or will we just have to play to find out?

You can see the barbarian setting in-game, on the Victory Conditions - Settings screen. If it doesn't say "No Barbarians" or "Raging Barbarians", then it's normal barbarian behavior.

Well, I was only referring to tech trading but my sentence wasn't clear
Anyway, game complete. Yet to write a report!
