Higher than 1024x768 resolution possible?
Having come from Civ 2 were your windows resolution was your limit I'm dissappointed to see Civ 3 only runs in 1024x768. As I used to enjoy playing in 1600x1200 on my 21" monitor giving you a big area of the map visible helped see overall strategy and game development well. Anyway to customise the res in CivIII?

Yeah, there is a civ3.ini file in your game directory, open that up, then add the line Keepres=1 to the bottom. This will force Civ3 to run on the resolution you have your desktop set to.
Hope this helps!

well...the file is called civilization3.Ini actually.  But I notice that it doesn't stretch to fit your screen.

per the readme file that mentions this "tweak" all screens that are a fixed 1024x768 will stay that way, but the main world map should fill the screen.

there is a readme on the cd i think that says how to do it.. you have to add 2 lines to the civ3.ini file. i run the game at 1600x1200

I'm playing on 1280x1024 using the keepres=1 line in the civilization3.ini
works fine.
Only the 'main menu' doens't stretch. The game does.
