A question regarding Civilizations 3 Gold

[btekippe]

I haven't tried any of the No CD cracks for Civ 3 or the expansions based on the posts made roughly 3 months ago in this forum where others had tried it with no luck. It seems the way this game is set up it requires it's own crack. Granted I'm going on the assumption that the individuals who have attempted this and have commented on this in the past know more than I do in regards to this, LOL since I don't really know that much. So, I was hoping someone would share some successful experience before I went too crazy.
