I recently installed VMware's Fusion 2 on my MacPro and then tried to make Civ III Conquest plus CivAssist II work. The good news: it works, both of them. The bad news: it does not work in my display's native 1600x1200 resolution. Conquest uses the upper left corner, up to 1280x1024...

I got my copy of Civ III Complete (bought on eBay), installed it, and immediately applied the Rev.A patch. To my dismay, the speed is abysmal, i.e. 2-3 times slower than vanilla Civ III 1.29b2. Is this caused by the patch and will hopefully (may eventually) improve after another patch...

As I can't get Civ III complete Mac edition in Germany, can anybody recommend a mailorder shop in the UK? Or elsewhere in the EU? I want to avoid customs problems stemming from US import. Thanks in advance tao

Wanting to improve your gameplay? Please see this thread.

When looking at this thread, I see a dire lack of Macintosh/vanilla games. With me having finished both gotm48 and sgotm8, I have spare time for civ. Thus I want to enquire about players interested in a vanilla succession game with strong training elements. We will discuss options and...

DG4 is over. I stayed with it, because I started and don't like to leave "unfinished business". But don't worry. I will not join DG5. The experience was interesting, but I have problems with people not knowing "how the game should be played" and are neither willing to listen nor to learn. Maybe...

When looking at the 1490AD save, a number of thoughts crossed my mind and I decided to write them down: We made great progress w.r.t. our infrastructure, research capability, etc., but can improve further and reduce waste and corruption with wltkd in quite a number of our cities. We...

I would like to form a demogame team for the upcoming SGOTM 2. Team members will be our current president Furiey and me for now. 3 more open slots. If you are interested, post here or pm me asap.

You may have - with varying degree of interest - watched the discussion going on about me planning to build Shakespeare's Theater in Vandelay. Thus I would like to start the discussion felt missing by some. IMHO one of the AIs will soon research Free Artistry making available the Great...

With the expansion of Fanatica, we have a growing number of cities hopelessly corrupt (i.e. wltkd, courthouses, police stations will NOT help in reducing waste and corruption. IMHO there are various options for such cities: 1. Build/hurry temple, if we need the culture expansion to claim...

Fellow Citizens! Term 4 We are in the middle of Industrial Times. Most of our cities are already of size 12. (Regrettably joint stupidity of the DoI and the DP prevented faster growth of Internal; we will try to overcome this soon.) We are producing 323 shields per turn and 549...

We will soon have squashed the Germans. And we don't want idle soldiers. And i want to propose the next job for them: The Zulus Campaign! The Zulus are weak. The Zulus have furs and gems luxury resources which we could use. Having a beachhead on the Persian continent will help in our...

Governors, Citizens! The brilliant performance of our military greatly expanded Fanatica. All of Babylon and India and half of Germany already joined us, the rest of Germany will follow soon. Now we have the task to shape these former foreign parts of the world into productive areas of...

Governors, I want to motivate you to build more culture. And with culture I mean libraries and universities to also strengthen our research capabilities. We have railroads for instant movement and 46 cavalry for attack, should we decide to go to war. Thus I want to kindly ask you to...

As outlined here, we should strengthen our research power. To coordinate this beyond the build orders posted (or regrettably sometimes not) of the individual governors, I want you the citizens to vote on this issue. Do we build reserach/financial power as follows: Switches now/build (in...

The Wonder giving a great boost to production in the Industrial Times is Hoover Dam: free hydro plant in every city. No polution like the coal plants. No maintenance. Thus we want it. But: Hoover costs 1000 shields. Hoover must be build in a city on a river (thus not in Groton). Deux...

We just had an 8+ hour very successful turnchat. Russia is gone. Babylon is gone. We built Smith's Trading and Newton's. We learned steam power and electricity. But we have to strengthen our research power. Currently, we run about -200gpt to research fast. We can't finance this much longer...

In one turn Fanatica will enter a new aera: Industrial Times. Let us adjust our behaviour to the new challenges: We are at war with Russia and will probably eliminate them next turn. We are for now the only country with cavalry and have 38 of theese fast mean attackers. Our Golden Age...

Raven's Flight has had a culture expansion, and now we can settle on the Greek/Egyptian continent getting incense. If this would be my game, I would proceed as follows: - Vandelay builds a settler (2 turns) - Cabaret Voltaire completes the galley (2 turns) - ship the settler, 2 knights...

Fellow Citizens! Term 3 Despite me failing to confirm in time my willingness to accept the nomination, our President has appointed me for another term of duty. And you did not complain. I will do my very best to further the development of our province. The main task for this term will...
