    What is the dumbest thing you have done?

    OK..in no particular order. Without thinking I managed to build the Forbidden Palace in a city RIGHT NEXT TO MY CAPITOL. Doh! A common mistake is that I quite building defensive units during war. Needless to say, I have to retake cities every once in a while. Once I tried to defend my...

    Jaguar Warriors

    I use the Jags as tough scouts. Pump a few of them out and have them go exploring. You can get a ton of those goody huts with them. Also cover a lot of territory quickly.

    attack an island

    It may not matter. If the Island is "100%" occupied..you will not be able to build the city within his Zone of Control. It isn't Possible. You, obviously, want to take the island. So Take it.:)

    Attack of the killer Shovelmen

    Yeah..the AI can be goofy at times. Once the Persians actually built roads for me. Hooked me up to dyes..pretty nice of them. It didn't take them to long for them to figure it out..but it was kinda funny to watch them.

    Poll: Best Civilization

    yeah..I voted Babs..but lately those Mounted Warriors are making me reconsider. They rule ancient warfare. It kinda becomes hard to stop rolling over all you neighbors with them. It is too dang easy. Plus they look real sharp.:)

    Big fan of civilization 2 but 2 words sum up my thoughts on civ 3

    Yo Ace, I wasn't trying to discourage anybody from stating their opinion..I was just stating my own. Sorry it offended you. I agree that you can "b!tch" wherever the "f*ck" you want to. I have the right to my opinions too. No need to get all huffy. Sheesh.

    Sid Meier on Screensavers Tonight

    I hope for their sakes it isn;t a call in show..some of the Folks around here would just love the oppurtunity to give Sid a piece of their mind.;) That is on TechTV or something. Hate that channel..maybe I will tune in to see Big Sid.

    I found them cheating.

    Huh?..That is too weird. I haven't seen that yet. Pretty Lame..but no biggy. I wouldn't doubt it...strange things seem to happen for the AI.

    Sid Meier's Betrayal

    The only deterrent truly is a huge military. I find it if I keep Military production going..the AI rarely attacks me.

    Moral High Ground?

    The only thing I do that is nasty (except early genocide) is raze big cities to cut their AI's production/culture down. I am usually at a point where I don't want to defend the city..just knock them down a peg. That being said..I only do this if THEY start the war. Serves them right. Other...

    Big fan of civilization 2 but 2 words sum up my thoughts on civ 3

    Didn't you know that it came without a scenarios and Multiplayer? I knew it before I went out and bought it. Although, if MP is your thing this isn't the game for you. I am not big a turn based MP..so I was OK with it. I also am one that isn't into scenarios...to each their own. I guess I...

    Civilization Types

    Yeah..The Right to Passage backstab. I can see how that relates to the Holidays..Evil Santa..lands on your roof..comes down the chimney..and butchers everyone in the house...and eats the cookie you left too. Personally, I think that is the lamest strat..it may work..but it is too evil for...

    Mutual Protection Pact

    I sometimes sign MPPs if the civ that is offering is way ahead of me. Just so they won't come after me..more than likely. SOmetimes..you can use them to play catchup.:)

    Forbiden Palace

    Moving your Palace is good if you are playing to conquer/dominate. If I am just being peaceful..I don;t bother..other times it is just worth it...like the two continent/island scenario.

    Fighting the entire world!

    I started on Warlord and moved up to Monarch..getting ready for Emperor. I just frequent this site to find useful strats to get better. Someday Diety..but not now. Owning a continent is the best. Especially if you can achieve it early. Those galleys pose no threat..and caravels are...

    Maybe, the Militarists are on holiday. Talking about Genocide so near the Holidays may just be in bad taste.;)

    What is the purpose of having a colony?

    I responded to your thread..I am not sure if I helped you any. I think what is confusing me is what is a "colony hex?" It sounds like you have already built a colony to me.
