Civ 3 Rise & Rule crash!
My program of global conquest came to a crashing halt last night when I tried to build my first fighter. I got a message saying "P-38 Lightning.ini could not be loaded", with an OK button that took me to the desktop. There are no such files in the Units folder, at least that I can find. I emailed Isak but havent heard back yet. Has anyone else encountered this? Are the missing files available somewhere, or should I rename something else? I need to intercept those pesky Incan bombers. I suppose I could copy and rename the F-15, but that would be so wrong.

R&R 1.01 Patch here (I haven't tried it out yet).
I had to track down the missing .INI file issue a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I don't remember the gyrations necessary (and my googling isn't working without having the exact error message in front of me). But basically I had to d/l a Conquests add-on package and fill up the art subdirectory with all sorts of additional folders. Sorry to be so vague. Maybe the 1.01 patch addresses this?

For the record, the patch did not fix my crash. I searched and found the missing unit folder in Civ3\Conquests\Conquests\WWII in the Pacific\Art\Units. Copied the P-38 Lightning folder to Civ3\Conquests\Art\Units. Actually, I also copied it to a couple of other Units folders just to be safe, so I'm not positive that the path above is correct. All better now, anyway. Die Incan scum.

Sorry guys - check out the DYP/RAR website http://civ3.bernskov.com. In the PtW downloads section you'll find an 'Extras' patch which contains a whole bunch of units originally released as a bonus with PtW. Unfortunately these units are not included in all repackaged and gold versions, and not included (at least not in the same setup) with the PtW files that come with Conquests.
Once I get some time I'll sort out that mess for good, but downloading the patch mentioned above, should fix it.
Edit: Trying to fix a URL
