Windows Interoperability
Are the Windows and Linux versions save-game compatible? Are my Windows saved games playable on the Linux version, and vice versa?
The Intel version of Linux Civ:CTP 1.1 is save-game compatible
with the Intel version of Civ:CTP. Other architectures will not be
save-game compatible. This goes for scenarios as well.
Can I play multiplayer under Linux
against users playing Civ:CTP for Windows?
The original Linux and Windows versions of Civilization (version
1.0) are not network compatible. All versions beginning with the first
patch (1.1 and greater) are network compatible, provided all network players
are using the same version of the game. For example, Linux Civ:CTP
1.1 is network compatible with Windows Civ:CTP 1.1.
Would it be technically possible
to use the Windows Civ:CTP CD and then download the Linux binaries?
No, the games use slightly different data file layout, and have
some data file differences.
