Man! I was totally winning but I ran out of time to finish! :mad: If I had only a 2 or 3 more hours I could have sealed a solid diplomatic victory. I had to turn off animated battle sequence in game prefs to speed up the game and that really messed everything up. The Egyptians became a...

Wow this looks challenging! I haven't played Civ 3 in a while so this looks doubly tricky. Should I be crazy and go for the predator class or wimp out and take it conquest class?

YES! Another Shot at Deity using my FAVORITE CIV!!

This is by the looks of it going to be a super easy or super hard game depending on what happens within the first 60 or so turns. If the minor tribes build up a vast military, their one city holdings should not be underestimated. It will be very hard to get a golden age because of barbarian...

What if this is another Gilligan start with space for only 3 or 4 cities. Your "island" is surrounded by a donut shaped pangea with all 11 civs on it. Then the warlord difficulty all of a sudden gets hiked all the way up to about a demigod level difficulty game.

I've never really played the Carthaginians before and didn't know too much about them. Well now I find that they are a very decent civ to play as. That industrious trait is the best trait you can have + seafaring is very strong + a strong versatile offense and defense unit the numidian...

I died. On deity level, the barbs get horsemen so fast that before you have enough defense you find yourself being overrun every single turn. Can't build settlers because they just get killed. The problem is not even the AI. I just get whooped by barbarians on such a high difficulty setting...

Do all cultural buildings double the rate of culture they put out after 1000 years? Is it just the wonders or even just a certain handful of wonders that do that? What doubles in culture after 1000 years?

Best start ever. Settled in place and cranked out 1 billion settlers without using the granary settler factory. I settled all the cow spots on the map first and got an empire sized settler factory running and hemmed in the vikings at 4cities. Declared and destroyed most of their units and a few...

@ "I was beaten like a red headed step child." I second that. I think I'm getting the red ambulance this time. The barbarians owned me like a used car.

Those aren't dots. They are stones or small mineral clumps to show that that tile has 1 more shield compared to a same kind of tile without it. For example, you have bonus grassland and regular grassland. The bonus grassland has that and when you build a city and place an inhabitant on a bonus...

Have you ever brought a settler INTO the AI's territory and settled a city? If you started a war this way, do you get an attitude hit of -100 points? Does it count as ROP rape or is it even worse? I always wondered about this.

I am wondering what would happen if I did the following: build a couple of warriors and send them exploring past the chokepoint until you find 1 or 2 civs but make sure to thouroughly explore that area. When you are done exploring, immediately declare war on the civ closest to your chokepoint...

I'm so going predator class on this, oh wait and I'll try one city challenge as well! j/k like..WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Sid level? holy...played deity before but I've never played a Sid level game successfully before, I'm scared!! :eek: Greeks? GOOD. Any other civ on Sid level...

Whew!!! I barely won a diplomatic victory against India which had close to 2000 infantry, 377 tanks, 143 bombers, 2 nukes, 877 marines, 210 destroyers, 41 cruisers, 25 battleships, 63% land area, 58% population, and 94,477 total culture. They landed something like 200 troops on my island and I...
