What's that?

cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/$PROGRAMFILES/Infogrames Interactive/Civilization III"
cp LSANS.TTF LSANS.fot

Unfortunately the game has to run in a virtual desktop and the menus are very slow. Does this have to be documented somewhere?

If you wish you can add info message about mouse behaviour


Does the game need NO-CD?

This is a work around for http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3498

I have added a message to the updated script above.

No, this is not required for this game or any of the games for which I created a script.
