I am debating getting the game for Christmas, but I can not find a demo of it anywhere? Is there one and I am just not finging it?

Here is the skinny: After reading Isions article on the Incans, I decided to give them a try. I recently moved up to Emperor (won about 5 games on it thus far) and decided to stack the deck a bit in my favor for this game. I made a 60% land mass Pangaea and picked civs who were seafaring...

I am not sure if this is a bug or just an odd thing happening in my current game. Background, by luck, I have never been around Persia in the first age unless I was playing them. My current game (as Russia) they are next to me and are in a war with America/India on the opposite side of me...

Is it just me or do the "American" civs allways get out on maps. In my last 4 games, I have had at least 3 if not all 5 of the American civs. It would be nice to fight off different people form time to time. I know there was a bug in the past, but was it never addressed/fixed?

For my first game with the C3C 1.2 patch, I decided to take the advise about not building any wonders (in helping to move from monarch to emperor) and to go completely random with map and civ from the war academy. My random civ was Byzantium, and I did not start any wonders. Low and behold...

I am trying to find a list of all the units given the 0 ranged bombardment. Anyone want to give me a hint on where to find this? I know archers have this, but am still looking for the others.

In my current game, I just finished a war that started for a very odd reason. I wanted to get others input on it to see if I should try this more often. I am playing as Egypt and faitly early aquired a nice size continent. I had also irigated/mined my entire land mass early on. I am the...

Just this weekend, a good friend of mine got a high speed internet connection and we began playing Civ 3 MP. The probelm is that I am a monarch/regent level player and he can not do much on anything above chieften. Thus we play on chieften. I have giving him all tech I get and we just went...

I have heard people mention games with more than 16 civs in them (huge map with all civs from PTW). How is this done, I have been looking through the FAQ and other such places and have had no luck finding it.

I have been unable to test this so I hope I might get the answer here. I have PTW with the latest patch as well. If I pay a civ to declare war on another civ with a gpt deal, and the civ I paid signs a peace treaty before the 20 turn limit, does the GPT stop? The same question would be...

Ever since they initally came out as the "Civ of the Week" way back when I have thought (and stated) that the Iroquois were possibly the best Civ. I am now beginning to greatly rethink that position and wanted to know what otehrs think. I peronsally love the Religious and Expansionist trait...

Right now I have read and use much of the starting strats given in these forums. My problem is that I tend to be a hit n' miss with living past the first age. Here is my problem. If I build the workers/settlers I need to keep up the the a.i. expanding empires, I fall behind in military and...

I can never seem to get the early great wonders. If I get 1 I am happy (normally the leftovers) and I think that building 2 is the best that I have done so far. Can anyone give me tips on getting them? I guess you will need to know the way I am currently playing as well... Huge maps...

I have nothing wrong with making money. I myself am an accountant doing audit style work. I own Civ 3 (along with Civ 2 and SMAC) and enjoy playing them. I do have to say that this is just plain crazy. All of the "new improvements" to multiplayer that are in PTW are just copies from SMAC...

A while back there was a succession game with those playing being the Spartans. My PC was down and I did not get to join, but would love to play in one. Anyone up for a new SMAC succession game? Faction, world and difficulty would be what those playing wanted.

I have been playing a game with my regular setuo (transend, large planaet, medium land mass, avarage native life, sparse clouds, blind reaserch, spoils of war) as the believers I started off REAL bad, but built myself up to be the second most powerful behind Yang. Yang and Lal are fighting...

PC Galaxy a 5 star yahoo merchant says it will sell Civ 3 for $17.80. Can this be? The description does not say it is the guide but the full game. I found this by enter Civilization 3 on a general yahoo serch and then picked shop by price and it had this offer. If it is true and you do nto...

I do not have Civ 3 (waiting for a computer upgrade) but I had an idea. With Shakespears Theater could you turn workers into riflemen? If the theatre stops unhappy people and you are a government that allows the draft could you not take any caputered work adn have them join htre city and then...

Foist off this is not talking about priated software. I am not asking where to get anything of the sort. Now to the question... I have run across a few sites offering game software for free downloads. It is claimed that the software is basically older games that the creaters no long sell...

I do not have Civ 3 yet, waiting for computer to get fixxed) so this is just an idea that I got from a strat in SMAC. If I am remembering right you do not get culture from a building if the city was been caputered. Can you raze the building and rebuild it so that you will start getting...
