I found this really interesting - and now I know how to pronounce al those names. Almost tempts me to play them for a while

I'm just wondering if anyone else tends to carry one game into the next one. I do this quite often but I just played a game where the Chinese were not. nice. people! I finished that game and started the next and lo and behold there they were again. I just can't help but hold the sins of the...

I absolutely hate the Celts in any game. :crazyeye: Cathy was always annoying but Bren is bloody annoying.in my current game they were alone on a continent with France. they declared war twice. the second time I just left them to it; my dromons destroyed all coastal development and I finally...

I know this is going to sound a bit odd but I have found that my best games happen when I begin with a more Northerly position. This has happened often enough fro me to notice it. I'm just wondering if others have seen this effect from the location - compass direction- of your starts? I'm...

The greatest thing about CFC is that we can get together and brag or complain about the best game ever designed and our experiences with same. :ar15: I love to check out the "Interesting Screenshots" thread but sometimes you play a game that doesn't engender a pic but you just want to share...

I started playing CivIII just after it came out in 2001. I am still enjoying it after all these years. What prompted me to post this is a game I just played. [I have a highly modded game- I can build HE with Literature and it provides a Leader every so often - thanks Templar x ] I was...

I was attempting to install C3C on my Win8 computer. I had set it up as per the suggestion to put it in User/ games /etc. The installation was going along smoothly but when I [inserted disk 3} and press enter I hit a snag. Just at the moment I hit [enter] the CD drive opened and thus ended...

I think the time has finally come when I have to say goodbye to Civ 3 - been playing it since 2001. My old XP computer - which has been my Civ comp has gone the way of all flesh. Although my son did manage to wipe Win8 and install Win7 on my notebook, my current poor health means that the...

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to activate the F1-F12 keys in game. I already asked a question in tech support but they seem to be on vacation.

My game cannot create the biq file and I'm not sure how to continue. It did create a blank file but it cannot be read. Any suggestions for a tech ID10T? this is for a new notebook w/ 320gb hdd

I am so fed up with the crap in this game. A couple of days ago 1 R spear killed 1 Elite Legionary 3 V Legionaries 1 V archer in a single turn. I just had my entire attack force of 2 swords and 2 archers killed by R spear. I may say that the game is evil to function in this way but...

I find myself declining to play Civs that have Starting Techs I don't care about. if I can't get at least (either of) Alpha or BW I'm not looking to that Civ at all. Do starting techs affect your choice of Civ or not? If yes, what techs do you look for first?

I have been playing the traits so the Mongols came up in the roster. I was so happy to get to my Keshiks (UU) but I had no idea how bad they are on offense and defense. They can't even scratch the tapesty covers on knights but they drop faster than War Chariots when attacked. They are so bad...

From a recent discussion here I have been playing a series of games using the Rel. Civs. I have to go back and do some that just wouldn't work or I missed but that is only 2.5 more games. If you were to play a series based on traits which order of traits would you recommend? I should add...

I just played a game (as Japan) with a somewhat convoluted map. (cont/temp/cool/5bil). it had an inland lake that was more than 21 tiles and there was some up/down/around/through and over parts to it while it was under shared ownership.:mischief: I did find that my choices were really...

I have just played a couple of games as the Dutch and before that I was trying to perfect the Germans. Trouble is that you have to give up some really helpful trait to move on to other Civs. Having just played the Dutch with the Lighthouse and Magellan's it is awfully hard to go back to 2...

This may seem very obvious to most of you but it stumps me every time. How do you stop starvation from happening in a city? If possible I can skim off a worker or settler to stave off one starvation loss but the city will just go back to its old problem state anyway. I am not good at MM...

Ok. I know that my PRNG luck is notoriously bad but we'll ignore that for this question. I was recently playing an Iro Domination game. I have modded my Heroic Epic to produce leaders every so often because I just can't get them very often. At any rate, I had 2 (3MW) armies in my game at one...

I just discovered a bit of a flaw in the program. I had bombarded a tile and caused the craters to form. After the war, I figured it was easier to build a city on the tile than to clean it up. The problem is that when I try to use [shift] D to clean any pollution the workers all head to...

I've read several post that show that people really like the GS - I do too overall but I find that they have a very short shelf life and then you get a downgrade. My problem is that I can never get enough of them to be of use. In my current game, I went straight to BW/IW so i could get a head...
