Couple of questions.

Hi there. I've been playing (and thoroughly enjoying) Civ III for a week now. I just have a couple of questions.

1) Is there any way to prevent a victorious unit from advancing after combat into the vacated hex. Would be particularly useful for units in a City under siege to be able to attack out and not have to wait until the next turn to re-enter the city.

2) How do you capture a screenshot. I tried Alt-PrntScrn but it doesn't seem to work. Also, are screenshots saved in PCX format? And in what directory?

Thanks

1) No. But you can save your cavalry/tank units for the last kill so that it can move back immediately after the victory.

2) No idea.

Pressing Alt-PrntScrn will save the screenshot to the clipboard (like when you copy text). Simply load up your favourite graphics program (Paint Shop pro, windows paint

, or whatever) and press Ctrl-V (paste). You now have your own Civ 3 screenshot. Save to whatever dir you feel like

Oh yeah, the file format depends soley on your graphics program.
Paint can only save .bmp files (large file sizes), while other programs can do .pcx .jpg or .gif (plus many other ones).

If you're posting the screenshots to these forums, gif or jpg/jpeg is preferred, or bmp if you really must.

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to take some screenshots so I can make some wallpapers for my desktop (I use IrfanView image viewer). Thanks again.
