I'm using the method digger described as well.

I'd recommend to lauch each version of C3C once (and eventually set your preferred prefs then) before zipping (or just backing up) the files in .../Conquests and in .../Conquests/Text. This way, you'd get your individual .ini file into .../Conquests and the .ini would be backed up with the settings you want.

Wow !
That mega-games deodorant is like real powerful! Great stuff ! perfect for Frenchmen ;)
