One more thing, after unzipping the two files into /Altgraphics that is it correct? The new tiles should show up in the game.


If I decide to try another graphics set do I just unzip them into in altgraphics too?

Thanks Guys! I will give them a shot.

<t> Folks,<br/>
<br/>
Have recently returned to TOAW and reinstalled the game.<br/>
<br/>
The last time I installed I had downloaded some upgraded graphics files that enhanced the terrain and various details (railroads was one thing I remember).<br/>
<br/>
Anyone know where I might find these ...

Thanks for the fast response! I am off to do some reading. There is so much I have forgotten over time plus this new upgraded version.

I just downloaded TOAW III and immediately applied the patch. I played TOAW:COW many years ago and have been away from the game for a while.<br/>
