    820 Ad - I messed up !

    OK, guys it seems I have made a huge playing mistake. I've asked about trading in the PTW PBEM because my first gift to Apolyton did not reach them. So I was told there's nothing to know about, you just make the deal. Now since you don't see the trade after you make it, and it didn't work...

    810 Ad

    It seems that Poly did not receive our cash gift, I tried again this turn, hopefully no delays in their research. Since previous discussions were that Netatolia would settle in the Northern part of our lands, we're cleaning up the barbarian activity there and possibly will build a city and...

    800 Ad

    This is the first MSDG turn that I've played and I'm trying to get re-accustomed to the things. I'm switching production a little to get more growth in the medium term. Also plan one or more cities in the North with settlers from Yun Qiuling. I've sent the following questions to Poly to...

    Would you go to work in Iraq?

    I don’t really know if there were such topics lately but in my office I had today an offer to work in Iraq on a financial consulting project. I don’t have any clue how long it would last, how much extra money are we getting paid or when would it start but I was wondering, what would you think...

    How are we going to win this game!

    Since the game has not started I'm going to suggest to discuss our strategy for the game even before it starts. Which is right about now. I'll say our main objectives are to go to the second phase. We're in a tough group with CDZ, GCA, CGN and the unknown C3Brazil. This is not going to...

    Users by country

    I wonder if we could implement this like the 'other' site has. I find it very cool to find co-nationals around here.

    F^4 What does your spouse think of you playing civ? What does (s)he do while U play?

    My wife is OK with the whole idea which I think it’s great. She also plays civ 3 usually at monarch but she can beat Emperor if she wants to. She’s studying to become a specialized MD so I can play while she studies and everything is OK.

    F^4 What do you do for a living? Does that draw you to strategy gaming?

    I’m a financial consultant but at my level I’m doing more of a financial analyst’s job. I’ve been working with numbers ever since I got to college and got to make them fit together. I really like this and it’s something that definitely draws me towards strategy games.

    F^4 Do you get to have any Real Life? At all?

    I for one confess that the 30-40 hours a month that I use to play the game are the largest part of my free time/entertainment time. For the rest I get to see my family, meet my closest friends and maybe, just maybe get out somewhere once a month. Before GOTM, I used to see more of my friends...

    Post number 1,000,000 on CFC

    I’ve just noticed how close we are for the post number 1,000,000. It’s less than 100 posts away. Let’s see who gets there first. The rule is that you have to say something you like about the forum or TF. I found it to be the first real on-line community that I can take part at and feel...

    Alternate identities

    Do you have alternate identities on the net? Not on the same forum as it usually is not allowed but on different ones. For example I would not like to soil my good (I like to think) reputation that I have gained here. So I do not use this nick on forums where some of the rules here do not...

    Master of Orion III has gone Gold

    Expected to be shipped starting with 25 February or even earlier. This is a major step of humanity towards the exploration of space and strategy gaming.

    AI doesn't want to research

    I'm playing Deity, Pelago, min landmass, 15 civs, random others. I'm Greece. After lagging behind in tech for half the game I managed to do the "Nationalism slingshot" trick (buy Magnetism and ToG and sell Nationalism that I got for free to get the dough back). Best tech countries were...

    Given yesterday's announcement regarding further enlargement of NATO I'd like to know some American opinion on the issue (others welcome too). Comments are appreciated too. FYI the countries that were invited to join NATO were Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, SLovenia.

    When will PTW be required in GOTM ?

    After reading tens of terrifying posts about how many bugs PTW has and knowing that it won't be available in Europe by the end of the month I want to question you when will it be necessary to update civ to PTW to play GOTM. I know that when v1.29 was released you immediately made it...

    AI's gold

    I've seen in my latest game the highest gold chest of the AI ever and of course the French (it was them) became my top priority when I started looking for a target. I think, but may be wrong that the French became a lot of a stronger opponent with v1.29, at least when the AI plays them...

    Helicopters and paratrooping

    Hi all, Do you use helicopters? What for? What about paratroopers? Can you tell me some things about potential use of these ones? Is it that only paratroopers can be transported with helicopters? I heard that infantry and marines can do that also. Can you send paratroopers...
