1.

Unrar the file in "Civilization 3 [eng]" folder using Winrar or other

compatible rar extractor.

2. Mount the .eng image file via a virtual drive (using WinCDEmu - the best
and most simple OpenSource Virtual CD app downloadable from SourceForge,
with which these instructions were made - or DAEMON TOOL).

3. Install the game by right-clicking Setup.exe (NOT Autorun.exe) and

selecting in the contextual menu "Execute as Administrator" (just in case).
When asked after installation, Do NOT Register the game, do NOT execute the
game.

4. Unmount the virtual drive : from Windows Explorer, right-click its drive
letter and "Eject".

4'. Do the same thing (1 to 4) with the "Civilization 3 Play the world and
Conquest[eng]" folder.

5. From the Patch folder, via winrar (or other compatible extractor), extract
each and every one of the three patches into the installation folder (which is
usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III"),
executing them one after the other (or course in ascending sequence of their
version number), so as to make this installation a full game version 1.29f.

6. From the Crack folder, extract Civilization3.exe from "Civilization 3 v1.29f

NoCD Crack.rar" into the installation folder, replacing the original file (before
doing so you can rename the original if you want to keep it). DO NOT USE
THE OTHER CRACKS that are available in the Crack folder.

7. PLAY THE GAME!!! Note that at the beginning you may see a half-black
half-white screen : I think it's because the video intro is missing. Simply click
your left mouse button to skip the intro and voil.
