Capture2 by RallyK posted May 20, 2020 at 4:29 PM Here's Vesuvius at level 2 next to my Mali capital. Also, I was Fire God. This is at Emperor, Standard, 10 civs, 16 city states. I gave up because Australia had twice the science output and was ahead 46 technologies to 34. I've been playing...

Sure, I take it personal. I also feel betrayed when I'm trying to pump out horsemen to protect my people during a war, and a few cities fall into disorder. It's like: "I'm just trying to knock back the Germans for the safety of our country. I'm putting all this effort into it to make sure...

The yellow dots are only present next to civs with which you have an embassy. During a war the embassy closes which is why it disappears. Of course it reopens when peace is declared.

Good point, Eagle. I try to fight my civ 2 instincts according to the terrain I build on. My natural impulse is to control grasslands or plains with natural resources such as cattle or wheat. But I think that makes getting strategic resources harder. I unconsciously avoid mountains, jungle...

Since you're a self-proclaimed beginner I would recommend what I do. All of the above mentioned points are important, but often your cities will go into disorder first before you change the luxeries, etc. This causes a loss of production for atleast a turn. Right-click on a city. Contact...

I don't think I've gotten a repeating error like that in Civ3. You might try turning off all your automated units if the error happens on your turn. I always did that in Civ2 and it worked, though that was often a lock up and not a fatal error. You could also try posting a saved game. I...

SGX: That is definitely some tough luck. I didn't even think that was possible, having never had it happen to me. Sure I have terrible results from time to time, but usually my cavalry will withdraw before it actually dies when it attacks a unit with movement of 1. The only time my faster...

Come on, Toasty! Sure, you should have atleast 1000 views on this thread, but give us (your faithful readers) a break. Most of us have been pre-occupied with Christmas since your last installment. Just when I think I have the story figured out, you write out a world leader....

I believe Gruntboy meant don't build all Pikemen to begin with. Add in a couple offensive units. Knights can only attack once per turn (opposed to Civ2). After they attack, use your offensive unit to take the knight out. Or take the knight out before it approached the city. Of course I'm...

Ha! Atleast we didn't word our responses exactly the same!

The number of lines is equal to the number of units in that stack or on that tile.

I agree with most of the posters that religious is a very good attribute. So easy to build a cultural building in cities on the edge of the empire. Often I find the best placement for a town might be one space from a strategic resource and a quick temple is great for putting it inside my...

I'm really enjoying what you have so far. Can't wait for more. Good luck with your school stuff!

I think Pggar is right on. I've offered deals with (say around 20) gold per turn that I could easily afford but they were less likely to take than a little less. I think the computer places a high value on per turn gold. As a result some limits were put on the value. Suppose the AI...

I was thinking about the fact that the patch went to testing. Assuming the patch addresses problems spanning the entire game and not just a few problems in one era, testing could take forever. I'm sure they would want to test for play balance in all ages, for all levels, as different civs...

I don't think it makes sense to get any culture from another civ's temple. So by destroying it they are actually doing you a favor, so you can rebuild it. You'd want to do it anyway.

I voted for the Egyptians and was surprised they got so much support. I'm just now weening myself off of expansionist civs, but I can't do without Industrious. Whenever I play a game without Industrious I wind up in middle of a jungle. I haven't got much out of the war chariot yet. When I...

Thanks for the feedback, Diety. My plan which I'm still working on was to build two settlers in each city, so my growth would be double with each new generation. Like this: 1,3,7,15,... Unfortunately, it's hard for me to stick with this in Civ3. I suppose I should change it, since some...

Yes, I built the Oracle and got my Golden Age as the Iroquois. I also built the Pyramids earlier, but didn't get it. I think there is just a chance that it triggers a golden age.
