Civ 3 play the world

[P22]

But since only difference in files is in copy-protection used,
wouldn't no-cd crack and 1.21f US version work with Europeans too (since cd-crack removes cd-check from exe file)?

I remeber before European patch v1.14 is released that some people installed US version, which obviously didn't worked.

Then they appled no-cd crack and it began working again.

P.S.
Of course I'm no expert in these matters.
