    Dead Religions

    Hey All, Had an intersting event happen in my current game, time-wise. I was in the midst of clear-cutting the previously first place AI with my DR Chipper Shredder of Axemen and Swords, and was very deep inside what had previously been his territory. My guys are right outside the gate of...

    The AI... is learning...

    This is less of a story as it is an account of my current game, figured it was interesting enough to cross-post. In my current game (Sevomod/Random map/Random Civ (Hannibal/Carthage)/Large Size/11 Opponents/Monarch/Epic Speed), I wound up with an archipelago type map, and a fairly large (13...

    What do you do with your workers?

    And no, I'm not asking how they work. ;) I'm actually talking about in the late game... after you've got your empire all tricked out, the size you want it, all your railroads built, cities balanced, etc... in 3, I'd keep 12-16 around for Pollution Weenie Patrol, and join the rest to the...

    The amazing, vanishing fort!

    Hey all. Got a wierd bug in my current Emperor game. I don't often build forts... thinking that if I'm going to be going to war, the best defense is a good offense! But in this particular game, my only source of oil was on a border tile -- on the other side of the map from the dominant...

    Pop quiz, hotshot...

    The game? Civ3 Conquests v1.22. The level? Emperor. The country? Greece. The situation? Playing as Greece, and trying for either a diplomatic or space race win. Persia is the big bad AI player because, well, because they're Persia, and started with Iron in their capital city radius...

    Odd Display Issue...

    ... hey all. Quick question for ya... I had to send my usual flat-screen monitor off to get warranty service, and it's gonna be gone for a couple of weeks. In the interim, I'm using my old, "boxy" monitor that I had from my previous system. This is working fine... EXCEPT when I try to...

    Colors in PTW...

    ... I didn't see this covered in any of the FA... is there any way to adjust the colors in PTW so that the country cultural borders, I don't know, stand out a little more? I'm playing a game now where a large former country has been jumble recolonized by the Celts, Spain, America and me...

    Anyone else notice what a cheap-ass the AI is now?!

    Been playing PTW for a few games now, and I've had to make a number of adjustments to my usual gameplaying strategy to make it through the "upgrades". I've already talked about how I have to wait a while to wage my first pogrom against the forces of evil (AKA whoever my nearest next door...

    Conquering cities in PTW...

    Hey there everyone, I have a quick question about PTW... just installed it tonight, and been up playing it most of the night. I did notice one nagging thing, though... in the original Civ3, when I took over a city from another Civ, I had the option of keeping it or razing it... but since I...

    Need help with the REF...

    Hello All, I'm hoping someone here can answer a question for me. I've been having trouble during the war of independence, where I get the REF down to the point that he only has like 2 cavalry units left, but then refusues to commit these forces to the field... so there's no way I can win the...
