Already so long till I played. Nice starting location,send out lots of scouts to meet the other civs. 1700bc learned philosophy, got code of laws, started republic. 1250bc Babylon declared war, joined in 1075bc by Scandinavia. Formed alliance with Greece and Spain. 1000bc learned republic...

And where are the spoilers?

On Palenque: You checked the 7 "unused" mined grasslands and none of them was a bonus grass, correct? You might have switched to mobilization, giving one extra shield each square. General remarks: Having warriors in industrial times is a terrible waste of money. You should use outdated...

I consider most of the above answers to be misleading, incorrect, or incomplete. For full information please refer to: Civ 3 Info Center plus Conquests Difficulty Levels: Demi-God - between Emperor and Deity, Demi-God AIs have a cost factor of .7 (meaning things cost 70% for them), 3 starting...

I took a short look at the 2150bc save. Things I noticed: You need irrigation for the cow bringing it in from the West. Thus it was an error to mine fields you soon want to irrigate. The BG needed a mine first. You don't need to explore the coast line with warrior, if you (correctly) send...

On emperor, I would have settled earlier, especially on a small world. In this game probably 2NE of the cow to get ocean access. You don't need the silks so early, because your towns are small.

I have a very similar error. The screen first turn black, then the monitor is set to sleep mode by the PC. The sound is still working, but nothing brings the screen back on. PC need hard reboot. This happens every time in the first 20-30 turns. -> quit playing this junk version XP SP3...

One of the most rewarding interface changes is to enhance citizen icons with mood badges for the city view and thr F1 view.

Does the disc work in another drive? Then it is a drive problem. Does the drive read other discs? Then it is a disc problem.

20K in1625 with 9625 Jason This time, I finished before the deadline. But it mostly was a boring game. The AIs were so weak, that they contributed very little apart from the scientific's free techs and Scandinavia researching nationalism. I had to research all the optional techs myself, but...

Several recent games went unfinished due to time constraints. Maybe posting a spoiler will help motivate me to finish this one. I'm also going 20k, but unlike CKS and silversheep I do it in Copan, not in the capital. Maybe with regent this is not the best choice - we will see. Research was cb...

It works on my MacPro with both 10.5.8 (QuickTime 7.6.4) and 10.6.1. :D

The saves should be in ~home/Documents (at least mine are).

Thanks a lot, Alan! :thumbsup: The new version is also 50MB(!!!) smaller, i.e. 10MB instead of 60MB. Digging in the packet shows, that the old version included a "Disabled" folder with a complete version (including docs) of "InstallAnywhere". Shame on those who released this bloatware in the...

Maybe you have an outdated Civilopedia? Curraghs don't carry units. And so says my Civilopedia file dated December 12, 2005.
