I am not sure anyone can help you here. You probably need to email
the game makers. If it is just a matter of updating the text files
than you could probably just get them from someone else since they are
small files. If all the files are named differently and/or the exe is
completely different there might not be much you can do.

I don't know what you paid but if you buy again get a cheapo regular
CivIII along with the Conquests expansion pack. Conquest is already
bundled with PTW. You be able to scavage them online for $8 each.

Other than the last several centuries of history, that is. Last time
the French had a real military victory was under the leadership of a
Corsican.

By the way, isn't the top category "collaborate"?

Really? Well, in the last 100 years, there's only been two major wars
that the French have been involved with, and history records that they
fought valiantly in both...

So Vietnam wasn't a major war, then? And the Maginot line was a success,
was it? Seems to me I recall a photo of the Tour Eiffel with a nazi flag on
it, maybe that was photoshopped or something?

"fought admirably". You have selective admiration, my friend.

The french, as well as the rest of Europe, fell to the germans (with the
exception of Great Britain and the two so-called neutral countries). By
your measure, that makes all of them cowards, and that would be a gross
misrepresentation of the facts.

The fact that the French government (as well as Polish, Danish, Dutch,
Belgian and Norwegian) moved to London doesn't mean the countries simply
gave up. In european history books there's a reference to something
called the "french resistance", and it's nothing culinary... There's
also the Polish resistance, the Danish resistance and the German
resistance. With out these brave people, many who gave their lives for
the cause, the war could have lasted a lot longer. Fought admirable as
well.

The Maginot line was obviously not a success, as the germans simply
walked around it, took Paris and then attack it from behind.

No, Vietnam was not a major war, except for the Vietnamese, the Americans
and Australians.

And in W.W.II the French did fight admirably. Against the Allies. Dakar
and "Operation Menace" for example.

Ah, right. His statement was that they were only in 2 major wars in the
last century and did well in both of them.

Had to google for "operation menace". Interesting stuff...

ObCiv: I'm playing one of the WWII scenarios from (mumble) right now,
as Churchill. The French seem not to be arming up, but at least they
gave me a ROP so I can defend them for them. I'm wondering - should I
proactively attack Germany, and if so, should I start by going through
Belgium?

I'm curious to see how you define "major war". The Vietnamese were fighting
French Colonial forces (in place since 1858) starting on 19 December 1946,
under Ho Chi Minh. In 1949 a French-recognized Vietnamese government
emerged. 1951 through 1953 saw the growth of gurrilla units and tactics, and
in 1954 the Vietnamese finally had enough forces capable enough to assault
and defeat the French at Dien Bien Phu. The French response was to pull all
forces south of the 16th Parallel. After the Vietnamese sued for peace,
which they received on 20 July 1954, the French recognized Vietnam's
independance and started removing their forces. The process was completed in
April 1956.

That's nearly ten years of military action. You're not going to tell me that
was a "major war"? The entirety of the Korean War was fought during this
time period.

To say that the French people fought valiantly in both wars is, in itself,
an accurate statement.

To say that the French government did the same is not.

Do not confuse one for the other. For in doing so you elevate one to a
position it does not deserve while demeaning the efforts of the other.

Let's look at win:loss ratio France is, what, 2 for 10? One under
Napolean, and the other was the french revolution, when they won
to/lost to, er, the French.

You really _are_ ignorant of history, aren't you. "This whole France
bashing" predates either Iraq war by many decades. We bail them out
and they spit on us. We bail 'em out again, and they spit on us again.
We bail 'em out in Vietnam and get dragged into _their_ failure.

Perhaps you can provide an example of the French being militarily
effective? And I notice you keep replacing my "useless" with "cowards".
Please don't put words in my mouth, you're clearly not qualified
to speak for me.

Show me these wonderful French military victories.

I have never claimed that the french have had any wonderful military
victories. All I've been saying is that the claim that the french are
cowards (i.e. very likely to surrender) are not as well founded in
history as some would like to believe. The french did no worse (or
better) in 1939-1941 than any other European country, yet they are the
ones being picked on.

They spit on you? When have the french spit on the U.S.? Does not
blindly agreeing with U.S. foreign policy imply ungratefulness for
events that took place 50+ years ago?

Show me when they've been anything but useless, Lars. From an outside
observer, collapsing without giving any effective resistance to invastion
looks an awful lot like "Don't hurt us, here, have Paris", to the point
where if there is a distinction, it's meaningless in both appearance
and in end-result.

Right, because of course there was Vichy-Poland, Vichy-Belgium,
Vichy-Russia, and so on, is that it?

It's not about the Iraq wars, Lars, and you should know that. By the
way, you do know that one of the reasons that France (and Germany,
interestingly enough) were so opposed to action is that much of SH's
purchases of hi-tech goods was coming from...guess where????

Where are these French Victories, Lars? Maybe they think themselves
brave, but they're ineffective.

Actually, the germans took Paris before they went back and had the
French army surrender. Where were they last effective? Gulf War, 1991.

Really? You don't think the reason they didn't want to go to war was
that they thought there was still room for diplomacy, and that the
allegations of "imminent threat" by the US was exaggerated?

Again, I've never claimed that French have had any big military
victories. They won, as a part of the Allies in both WW1 and WW2, and in
the Gulf War in 1991.
