That is exactly what I do in every game.

Apologies for reviving such an old thread, but I figured some people might be interested in knowing that it is indeed possible to win this particular game. 'Twas a Domination Victory for me. I did play this using Conquests, so the replay is a bit odd. :( I highly doubt that I would have been...

Agr/Ind or Agr/Mil with Sipahi would be absolutely perfect. Great for early expansion and late Medieval/early-mid Industrial conquest. Sipahi are the best offensive unit until Tanks, after all...

Hmm... since this thread is still alive, I guess I'll post one of my prouder moments as a C3C player...

That's not cheating. In one of my Epic Games, I actually had the Russians down to two size-2 desert cities and they were paying me over 500 gpt for quite a long time. Of course, it helped that they had the tech lead before I seized it from them. :evil: I was in mourning when some overly...

I agree that the Koreans in and of themselves seem quite useless. The only thing I really like about them is the absolutely gorgeous color. :love: Nevertheless, I just played one of my easiest epic games yet as Korea a few weeks ago. I believe it was on Emperor. I had a relatively poor start...

The ironic thing is that most of the less-advanced and less-powerful civilizations (at least in real life, such as the Celts, Iroquois, Inca, and Dutch) have the Agricultural trait, and thus have a greater tendency of becoming superpowers. At least that's what I've noticed in many of my games.

Korea, for example, is programmed by default to build more artillery. In my last game against them, though, they had about 7 artillery pieces in their entire empire, as opposed to other empires having perhaps 5. :rolleyes: I guess there is a point to the AI not building many artillery units...

Really? I never noticed anything of the sort. I usually leave artillery production exclusively to my non-Barracks cities.

I figure the AI doesn't use Explorers for the same reason it doesn't use artillery (and possibly Armies, as well) -- they have no inherent attack or defense values, and the AI doesn't seem to understand the point of building units without any attack or defense value. Especially defense, it...

I think Arabs are 4 (as opposed to 5 for the Germans, Mongols, Zulu and possibly Aztecs). I have problems with the Arabs in every single game in which they're involved. One rather funny thing, though... Despite their high aggression rating, I have NEVER been sneak attacked by the...

Is it really a unthematic? Napoleon did end up crowning himself Emperor, after all.

Hmm... I've never particularly cared for either of the democratic forms of government. It always seems like if I try to change to either one of them, I end up making less money and have slower scientific progress than if I stay in Monarchy. I don't even support a particularly large military in...

Fire Cats are absolutely vital in this scenario as Egypt, since their offensive capability is limited to Swordsmen. I was lucky in that I had MAs with Persia the entire time until I declared war, so I didn't have to worry about that Heavy Cav SOD until I was good and ready.

Maybe they sent out their Stacks O' Doom before you launched your assault on Italy...? Or maybe they really are just that stupid... Hopefully the AI will be improved somewhat in Civ IV.

:rotfl:

I can't think of a female leader for Japan. Who was it in Civ 2? The goddess Amaterasu? Persia used Scheherezade, I believe... Two mythical femmes so far... we're off to a good start. Temujin's first wife Borte was female leader for the Mongols... I can't imagine what they'd use...

Just visit this thread. The file that allows you to play any of the civs should be in there somewhere... By the way, do you have the final map of your game as Carthage? I'd like to see some more of those, in addition to any wins by the Barbarian tribes. And, of course, by Egypt. :egypt:

My Voltigeurs can face down Cossacks, Hussars, and even Redcoats without flinching, but when it comes to Illyurian Conscript Warriors? :eek: They won't stand a chance... Strange, but I thought Barbarians were disabled in this scenario...

Unfortunately it was only on Regent, since I figured I wouldn't stand a chance anyway...
