95. If you are building a road between your cities, pay no attention to which tiles might ever be in use - always build in a straight line, even if it means roading several mountains in a row.

I think it's a toss-up between Xerxes, Shaka, and Montezuma (?) of the Aztecs. But I may find them annoying more on account of the immortals, impi, and jaguar warriors, than because of their attitude.

Here is the file for the above start if someone wants it - it is a large archipelago map, Emporer

Not really that interesting, but I had never seen a start with 5 cows and a wheat before ETA the wheat and the 5th cow are in the fog, got them by settling on the river - the start is a little crowded for my tastes, however

I don't think it is possible to capture a temple. I used to rarely build them, but recently I have been playing with religious tribes and I use them a lot more. I really hate being at the bottom of the culture stack and having to worry about cities flipping all the time - early temples have...

I looked and the only save I have from the game is 1605, the turn after I won - by this time I had killed the knight armies with bombers, and the only army Pachacuti has left is, predictably, loaded with one cav and parked in a city. You can see the Pentagon in Cuzco, and I think he has the...

I am totally sure it was a normal game of C3C - standard size map, continents, emporer level. The Inca were the strongest civ in the game, and they had at least 3 armies and the pentagon. They had mixed armies of knights and cavs, and one had a crusader in it. I was too afraid to land on...

I know that the AI is capable of using armies effectively (even if the units they combine are sometimes less than ideal), but most of the time they seem to add one unit and leave the army in a town. I remember a C3C game where I watched the Inca use 3 4-unit knight armies to completely...

In my current game as the French on a large map I am on a continent with 5 other civs, and there isn't a single source of saltpeter on that continent. I think I counted ten sources on the other continent, and the Iroquois core has 5 or 6.

this is C3C I really expected to be able to do some damage. I guess I never really understood how bombardment works.

I am playing a game as the Romans in which I have started a war against the Dutch, who own the Great Wall. On the first turn of the war, I moved stacks of Legionaries and Trebs next to a bunch of small walled cities defended by Swiss Mercs. When I started bombarding the next turn, I was...

what if I got a different selection of opponents? Usually I have it on "random". I am curious because I got a terrific start, and would like to try again with a closer city build, but wish the other civs had gotten better land to develop.

Question about starting locations - I am playing on a standard size archipelago map, and I was surprised to find that one of the 4 large islands with good terrain was uninhabited, while the celts got a tiny tundra island (with furs) right next door. If I used the "play last world" option...

Well, I am trying out Overseer's suggested game, playing as the Koreans and sharing the island with the Babs, Sumerians, Maya, Germans, Greeks, Iroquois, and Ottomans. I got a nice start (cow and a deer and a river) and the tech trading is already fierce at turn 20 or so. Hopefully I will...

Thanks for the replies. Since I am playing on a G5 iMac, I don't believe I have access to an editor. I guess gifting techs is a possibility, but it just seems wrong to me. I really enjoyed the WW2 in the Pacific scenario, but I haven't tried to DL any of the others. I guess I may have to try...

I like to play standard size continents maps at Emporer level in C3C - I have tried Demigod but the corruption was just too annoying for me to manage. What I enjoy most are tech parity late industrial wars with bombers and destroyers and so on, yet I almost always find myself using tanks...
