I have seen many opinions that Civ3 is the best in the series, hands down. here are some supporting details: The idea has been brought up for the makers of Civ to make a newer "modernized" Civ3. It offers the most for gameplay, and the riflemen don't look like they're holding giant...

I know it's a bit early, but I just want to get an opinion said. Can anybody tell me how effective air units are in civ5? If they're anywhere near as useless as they were in civ4, I'm going to gag....again... My idea is to add another layer of tiles. Like land and sea tiles, but another...

I recently started remaking a mod that I had previously done, that one stopped working (Civ just quits, with no warning when I get the thing 76% loaded)....I was just trying to test out the new one when, at 30% loaded, it said this in a nice little civerror message: Missing entry in...

sometimes I get tired of just researching one technology at a time. Plus, how can you 'hurry' research? Some things take time to research, and if the people working on it are hurried, they may make mistakes, setting back whatever projekt they were working on. Why not have many researchers...

Ever get tired of those people who use a small amount of 'super-producing' cities, that just pop out unit after unit? I have an idea of a centralized production ability: Instead of building things in cities, you build them in a single queue. Each tile will have a certain amount of...

Anybody from Civ3 that are tired of complicated 'civics' that just complicate things? Anybody from Civ4 that want more options, but less decisions? I may have a solution! There are three government 'types': Democratic, Authoritarian, and Socialist; each have different properties. Right now...

My favorite part of the game has always been when I get planes to do my bidding, they are useable enough in Civ3, but completely useless in civ4...much to my disappointment. While I have been gone from Civfanatics, and even Civ3 (the game itself), I have not abandoned Civ. I have been creating...

I have been gone a LONG time, but I have not been completely away from Civ... ^0.3=cube root ^0.5=square root average Span(aWs)= 1 engine = 11.71 2 engines= 20.27 3 engines= 25.08 4 engines= 33.31 Jet fighter=11.81 propellor blades (X)= 2 = 8 3 = 16 4 = 20 5 = 25 Jet = 14...

I know I've been gone for a long time, but I've just remembered something else that I wanted to post. Does anybody think the trend of civ; you expand and expand, but there are never any 'dark ages' or 'depressions' to slow down, or even stop expansion? For me, this gets repetative and boring...

I have been playing\testing a mod lately (all day). After the last improvement, adding one more unit, it absolutely refuses to load. I have been making thes mod for about 6 months now, and have only ran into the expected problems (usually typos). This time it isn't the game missing something and...

Have you ever heard a friend say that the reason that they don't like Civ is because it is turn-based? Have you ever been frustrated by the turn-based structure? Worry no longer! I, in my exile from playing Civ (school is to blame), have thought up a solution: Split each turn into 'steps'...

I have been away from Civ for a while (at school), so I've had time to think... Would anybody like to see civil wars in Civ? I know this has been suggested before, but not in this way: 1. When a civ breaks apart, the mother civ cannot just ignore it -like the AIs probably would. The...

The armstice is a war-ending treaty that includes one (or more) civs to surrender and submit to the terms made by the winning civ(s). The terms would include: 1) Reduction of military strength. 2) Inability to build certain types of units (tanks, artillery, aircraft, etc.) 3) Splitting...

What I want to know is which combat type will work best, in your opinions: Seperate attack, defense, and health stats (Civ3 style) Single strength factor (civ4 style) Something else (something else) I don't really care (you don't really care) I'm personally a supporter of the...

SOMEBODY HELP! The only place that I can type anything, for a response or comment, is in the quick reply boxes and the space for the titles. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Does anybody use them? They're kinda expensive, and a one-shot chance.

I recently found that many people at my school play Civ, but unfortunately, they play Civ4. Some have played Civ3, but all of them now play Civ4 because of it's 'better graphics'. So that made me wonder: How many people do you know that still play the best Civ game of them all. (Civ3, if you...

I have made many mods for myself, and changed many things over time, usually making it easier for me. Soon I made it too easy and ruined the gameplay. How many of you have done this and decided to make the rules more fair?:confused:

I was just wondering, how many of you have actually played the origional civ3 (whichever type that you have) recently? I have not played for at least six months, I've only played one version or another of my mod which I call Gme (a typo that stuck). How many of you play regular, your mod, of...

On many screenshots that I see, the option to put civ-colored rings around the units is on. Why is this? What is so much better about using those? They look like a little kid drew them and ruin the realism of the graphics.:confused::eek::rolleyes::confused::confused::confused:
