I got it today and just played a bit in my first game and i gotta say: OMG, this simply rocks! :eek: started as humans, changed the default race abilities to increase research and diplomacy and reduced ground combat and spies, started in the orion senat and they just proposed a bill for banning...

Well, I'm currently at the end of my first PTW game (as Spain) and since i am way ahead in tech I'll go for spaceship but before that i wanted to have some fun and built ICBMs. first of all, they don't alter the terrain anymore! was that already disabled in one of the Civ3 patches? And I...

Just a pointless reminder from me to whoever feels bored enough to open one of my threads: WTF happened to all those games like Republic or Duke Nukem Forever. Basically I don't give a damn. To me Republic is just another crappy game to follow the path of all other...

I just remembered that more ppl than me posted links to webcomics in that favourite webpage thread, so here goes nothing and all bets are off!!!!

So, this is the one thing that keps on bugging me about the english language: Wednesday I already asked a friend of mine from Scotland on IRC about it (just to make sure I didn't learn something totally wrong at school) but it's written Wednesday and spoken Wend(e)sday! Why do you turn the...

In all my Civ3 games so far I found that defending your territory becomes way to easy as soon as your have a decend rail network and with an average of 2,3 workers per city that isn't really hard! I was attacked by the russians, thanks to their rail network they moved 12 cossacs into my...

One thing: Smith Trading Company! Damn, that one really gives you an advantage, especially on huge maps! It pays for ALL marketplaces(1g), Banks(2g), Habours(1g) & Airports(2g)! thats 6 gold per turn per city! together with Hoover dam, AoW, & Pyramids you save 10g per turn per city!:eek...
