i tried hard to find a topic that did this but all i could find was a way to remove all the 3d effects. If it's been done before, sry (and feel free to delete topic).
all this file does is replace lvl 2 fc's animation with that of lvl 1 (the plain star), and replace lvl 3 fc's animation (the blinding one) with that of lvl 2 (the growing yellow circle).
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FILE
this file goes into <drive>:\PATH_TO_CONQUER\ini\ (default i believe is c:\Program Files\Conquer 1.0\ini\ )
you could most likely do this in more detail (like remove specific parts of the animation) by editing 3deffects.ini, but this suits me just fine... i rather like the lvl 2 fc (sure, lvl 3 looks ebtter a few times until you realise you're getting blind).
enjoy, let me know if there's any problems.
