    Won my first victory on Emperor

    It was the Iroquois on a tiny Pangaea so it was kind of cheating. There was some challenge as I left culturally-linked starting locations on and thus had to face the Inca (America was reduced to a city on an island I didn't know existed until I saw the replay and the Aztecs weren't too...

    If you could choose 3 traits, which ones would you choose?

    Occasionally I like to play a modified version of Civ III where each Civ gets three traits instead of two (along with some changes to unit stats). What would be your ideal trait combo? Mine would be Scientific Agricultural Religious (the Sumerians). The other Civs in my scenario are: Mil...

    Game opens in corner

    I have the steam version of Civ 3 Complete (I bought it in 2010). Earlier today I was able to use it just fine. Then, steam updated and I tried to play it again. When I skip the intro the game goes to its start screen but only in the top left side of my screen. I don't think it's a...

    Diplomatic Bonus for Shared Culture.

    How much influence does shared culture have on diplomacy? It seems pretty minor from personal experience, but has anyone looked very far into this?

    Trying to get back into Civ IV

    Hello, recently I've been playing CIV again, but I'm really bad at this game. I struggle on Noble and sometimes even Warlord (In Civ III I can win on monarch). I usually go for domination, but I find conquering other civs very difficult. I also perform miserably on water maps. What are some...

    What's up with Taiwan and Chiang Kai-shek?

    https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3314227 From earlier this year: http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/taiwans-chiang-kai-shek-memorial-hall-removes-souvenirs-of-former-leader I understand that Chiang did some bad things, but am I the only one who thinks this is going too far...

    What is your Native Language?

    Obviously English is going to be the largest but I know we have a lot of people from outside the Anglosphere on CFC. Choose as many as apply. Sadly, I couldn't get as many languages on the poll as I would have liked.

    Problem With Scenarios

    Ever since I installed the Steam version of Civ 3 back in May there is something wrong with scenarios I installed from CFC. These are some screenshots from Twilight of Byzantium. How can I fix this?

    Things in Civ V you don't want to see in Civ VI

    First of all, let me say that I do like Civ V, there are some things that the game does very well (The religion system is an improvement over Civ IV, City States are cool, and I like the unique abilities). However, there are things in Civ V I really hope are not included in Civ VI: Global...

    Will Sub-Saharan Africa Rise out of Poverty?

    As you may know, I have an interest in Sub-Saharan Africa. I think the region doesn't get enough attention from the media in the West. Often times people think of the entire continent as mud huts and starving children. What is ignored are the success stories. One nation that stands out is...

    Why are the Inca so Powerful?

    So I just recently came back to Civ III after not playing much for quite some time and found the game to be much more challenging than I had remembered. That's fine, the Civilization series is boring if you build every wonder and fight spearmen with Tanks. But the thing that annoyed me was the...

    Favorite Civ III Stories

    The Civ 3 Stories and Tales forum is the reason I came to CFC. I loved reading anything I could find back in 2010 when I discovered this part of the forum. Some of my favorites have been: Celtic Peacekeepers Pax Romana Evil Game I Carthage War of the Crazy Women The Chronicles of Khan...

    Opinion of Obama's Presidency

    Now that Barack Hussein Obama Jr. has been President for almost six years I wanted to see what CFC thought of the 44th President. I haven't been very active on these forums since the beginning of 2013 but anyone paying attention to OT before then will probably know my position.

    What Civilization Games (if any) do you play?

    Most of us came here for the Civilization, even if we spend most of are time away from the Civ forums. I was introduced to the series through Civ III. I remember when I was ten years old seeing a friend play it and decided I wanted to get the game. When it was installed onto my old computer...

    Capital Punishment

    I know I'll be preaching to the choir here, but I'm now opposed to it. I used to support it, even defending it through debate, but In the last year or two I have become uneasy about supporting it. My main problem with Capital Punishment is that not all who are executed are actually guilty...

    I Love Philosophy Slingshot

    I just started using this strategy in two of my games as the Byzantines and the Dutch (on Monarch difficulty). Since both of these civs start with alphabet, getting to Philosophy is easy, I make sure I get pottery before then so I can get Map Making as my free tech. After that I start building...
