I was enjoying a game of Civ III over the past several days. I was playing as India on a fairly large continent with America to my north and Sumeria, Carthage, Russia and the Maya to the South. I had horses but lacked access to iron. The only nations with iron on my continent were America...

Well, despite owning Civ 3 Complete, I have found myself addicted again to Civ 1 for the SNES. "You are an evil tribe that must be exterminated." I hear that quote quite often playing the SNES version of Civ 1. What I would like to know is why does the AI tell me this so often? I also get...

Which do you prefer, Fast Units or Artillery? Would you rather have 15 Cavalry attacking a city or 10 Trebuchets, 3 Longbowman and 2 Musketmen? I personally love the option of selecting a group of Cavalry to attack as a group, and then just relax while the battle rages, one after one my...

Hey all! I do pretty well on Regent difficulty but I want to do better. I always am ahead of the AI in tech at the beginning because I trade after I discover each new tech. I don't find it hard at all to stay ahead, at least in the ancient age. The problem is balancing strength with...

Rome, was on a map with the Ottomans. When I first got to see the entire world map, I saw the Ottomans had taken all of the continent except for like 5 Roman cities. I knew Rome would get destroyed, and they did. Well... They are still alive, somehow. They don't have a city anywhere on...

How does that work now when you see citizens standing behind the leader of an AI civ (while in negotiations). I know that when they have 4 citizens they are stronger than you. What does 1 citizen or 2 citizens or 3 citizens mean? Anyone ever look at that? Is 2 citizens meaning that you are...

One of the big problems (I think it's a problem) that gives the player an unfair advantage in Civ2 and 3 is how we can communicate with the AI whenever we feel like it. Then we take the science we learn and sell it to the other AI and make easy money. I think that communications should be...

I'm going to post this in both the Civ2 and Civ3 forums. I just want to see a comparison to see if more people use the Automate feature now than with Civ2. I personally think that the workers are much better in Civ3 than the settlers in Civ2, so then if they are indeed better then more people...

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=88765 It's for Civ 2. Just got me thinking how cool it would be to have the Civ 1 source. We could adjust some things to make the game better like: Add Hit Points Make the first square of ocean a "shallow water boundary" that the AI...

What level of play is most equal to the AI's level? In Civ 1 it was: King In Civ 3 it is: REGENT What is the level most equal to the AI in Civ 2? I always assumed King, but could I have been wrong all this time?

I remember being amazed playing Civ2 at how much change you could make to the terrain. I think it's quite insane, really. I guess it might be possible, but I just can't imagine Engineers in our day and age knocking down mountains and turning them into grasslands. I just can't see that happening.

Hmm.. Went through 3 pages of posts and nothing about WoW. Anybody leaving Civ (temporarily) to enter the World of Warcraft?

How about we have a quick thread here where we post what we want to have change. BUT! :nuke: Don't post a sentence or paragraph of what you think things should change to and why, just post what you want to change, like so: -Ships need to have a higher HP, be able to attack multiple times...

How about Firaxis releases a redone version of Civilization 1. I'm sure they could remake the game quickly because of it's simplicity. Give it updated graphics (But keep the 2D!) and of course make it fully XP compatible (32 bit). They could either sell it seperately for cheap $15.99, or...

What are the techs you start every game with? Here's my list: 1 Bronze Working - Phalanx 2 Wheel - Chariot 3 Alphabet 4 Laws 5 Burial 6 Monarchy 7 Writing 8 Literacy 9 Republic 10 Mysticism After that I just build whatever I feel like and it changes depending on...

Which one did you like better? I'm going to play the Windows version some more before I vote. I certainly like how you can choose GO-TO in that version, unlike in the SNES version.

I have hated it from Civ1 to Civ3. Make the computer space their cities 4 squares apart so they don't overlap and steal resources from eachother. Please!!! The maps should be big enough now so that there is no need for overlap. That really pisses me off when the comp city rips off my cities...

Why no Civ 4 forum? I read somewhere else that Civ 4 will come out next year.
