About Civilization IV mini image compresion
 

In the nfo we can read:
But for me its still 1GB after try that (in WinXP@SP1). Works for you?

Its a maxi image it will compress down to a small size.


But when you use it its uncompressed to its normal size, which is 1gb for you.


How it works

When you compress it you will get this

what i mean is that, despite i compress the mini/maxi/whatyouwant-image in properties, its still 1GB and not 800kb as the nfo says so i didnt save any space

Hiya,
Try looking in my computer, rather than in the file properties- This should tell you that you have 1gb more free space than when you extracted the image; What you are doing is looking at the properties and still seing the actual size rather than the compressed size.
