    Civ 3 has crippled my Civ 2 gameplay

    I just recently went back to play a few games on Civ 2 and I am realising, my gameplay stinks now! I am crippled by Civ 3 tendancies. - I don't build too many cities because I think corruption will be rampant even in democracy. - I think 3 discoveries per turn is unheard of. - I can't...

    Just noticed a few things while doing the History Department update: We do a couple of things to the greeks. 1 Rush culture Tlaxcala and in a little while we should capture a Gems resource and replace the Silks we lost and deny Greece of potential trade. 2 Put a city between Corinth...

    Installing Civ 3 Twice?

    Is it possible to install Civ 3 twice on the same computer? I play civ 3 with patch 1.16f. I encounter a LOT less crashing when I use 1.16 as opposed to 1.17. However, my problem is with downloading zipped-save games from CFC forums. I cannot view them as I am using 1.16. I have a...

    Victory Goals

    Shouldn't we discuss the type of victory we are after? If the consensus is Conquest or Domination, we should slant our building to military type units and structures. If it is cultural we should lean towards buildings that involve culture like temples and libraries. If it is diplomatic we...

    Is it wise to prop up a weak nation fighting a stronger one?

    Just looking for your opinion. In my current game, the Aztecs and the Americans are on the same huge continent. They were equal except the americans had horses and saltpeter. The Aztecs were weaker. Monarch difficulty, huge world, medium islands. I am the Germans and I own a medium sized...

    Suggestions on getting the AI to attack

    I know in civ 2 there were numerous ways to get the Ai to attack you. (Bully them in forign affairs, send in caravans to block roads etc.) I have yet to get the AI to attack me in civ 3 past the ancient era. Just wondering what most of you have done or tried.

    I noticed while looking around about OCC tips that someone had this to say "I will assume you know that there is a pattern that the "special" terrain features appear in. If you place a city in the middle of the pattern, you will have access to either three or four of the special squares. "...
