I have been playing for a while and have been on regent. (raging barbarians). I got a military victory in about 1980. I scored 3600 and had to come from behind. In the 1600's I was sixth out of twelve civis and behind bigtime. My questions are: 1) Is this normal to come from behind or...

I think it should be a small wonder. I see the point made that the atomic technology cant be stolen. This is true, but who cares about realism (not civIII), for gameplay reasons it would be better if it cant be stolen. alternatively a city could have to produce a missile production plant...

Nothing is like setting a trap for the computer and executing it perfectly. I was playing pangea and, apart from the main continent, there was only one tiny island only big enough for two cities. I built two cities and the bottom one had mountains next to it. I filled the mountains with...

I think the valuable point that is not bieng made about bombers is that bombers on carriers are perfect for a war you dont want to fight. When a large civ on another continent has declared war on me and I dont want to fight I just let loose with the bombers on luxuries then resource then...

Zouave ?? for a civ fanatic u dont seem to like civ?? Theres Criticism.... and then there is constructive Criticism ;) What do you like about civ ???- im interested :confused:

The true skill involved in a war is not the initial offence - any idiot can send scores of tanks blitzing throught the enemy lines - the skill involved is knowing where the AI will counter-attack and when to engage the AI attack. The computer is not going to take on your 4 infantry in the...

you have to load them in to sub like a transport. no other way is possible accross water. I dont think nuke subs are worth it. ICBM's are so close in the tech tree you may as well wait. Its a cheap option if you plan to launch alot of nukes. Just build one sub and use id every turn to ferry...

JFL_Dragon it seems you have run into the one problem with civIII - culture flipping SUX - There SHOULD be a option to slaughter the town if they want to revolt - I would be more than happy to oblige!! I have lost 50 modern armour in a revolt!!!!! I would like to see 5 civilians take...

I agree that spearmen should change in modern time to mercanries. btw I liked the fact that in civII the resistance became infrantry outside the city... much better.

I love civ 3 and would not give it up for anything. That said culture flipping is the most stupid thing of all time. I dont see how a city of size 5 can revolt and despose my 50 modern armour! there should be an option to slaughter these disgusting pests!!!! Please firaxis free us of this...

Im sorry but this is coming from a true civII fan... CIV III Hands down! Graphics, diplomacy, and AI Inteligence for starters Luxuries are a godsent because thay force trade and ears Resources are the same. I cant remember how many times I have had to start a war for iron with a...

someone posted something about workers adding to diplomatic contempt from other civs. Is that true because I have a"concentration camp" with about 50 workers captured from razed cities. Will this cause other civs to look on me badly??

I think you should try to build lots of cities and concentrate on culture and science ie. temple than library Even when I used to play on chieftan I always got to space race by 2050!? Mabey you shouls use the governors to emphasise science

I agree that planes are useful. They are of course just long range artillery. Its good to have 2 - 6 carriers near the opponents mainland to cut resources and grind the attack to a halt. Cruise missiles are useless in my opinion. I didnt realise that they can sink a ship on low hit points so...

(great use of espionage) It's gallant torchbearers like yourself that keep the civ flame alive!! Remember the commandment "Thao shall thrash Civ" :egypt:

:nuke: I feel sad admitting to this but I have played from 11:00 pm until 8am and still not want to stop. (I have to force myself to go sleep to break the cycle). Thats 9 hours. I dont know how long I could go? how long has anyone els played??:nuke:

That is some seriosly warped ****..... Funny all the same Sounds like the russians are going to whip your ass!!! Tanks vs Knights (no chance) You better hope your allies can kick some butt !!

I would recomend this file to civ fans of all levels. a great quick reference guide without too many details Great graphics and layout... worth printing as a helping hand!! Great work !!!
