Update. On the particular game I'm playing, apparently I no longer have a problem. It really only started after I had taken a city from the Mongols and I looked to see how many units they had ready to attack me. Their stack was huge. I really didn't want to quit and start a new game so I...

Game runs fine unless I have 5 or more civs and use a standard or larger map. Actually the game runs fine then until later in the game when there are considerable units and cities. Here are excerpts of computer stats from directx if anyone has had same or similar problem and solved it...

@Xen FLICster? I wish I had that option for the things I want. Also, would it be too much to ask to record scores in the HoF for Civ3PTW? I don't care if it is noted that the game was scenario or modded.

What about esthetics? At least give us an option of not having a railroad on every square - the Civ II model would be fine. Also would like right clicking a square to show improvements. It would be fantastic on the right click popup if you could drill down to a picklist screen of graphics -...

thank you kindly theoden, will check it out :)

I think is the governor. Is there a way to keep it from rearranging which squares the Civs work? I thought it only did it when the city had a shortage of food or when it expanded. I'm kinda suspicious that it might do it at other inopportune times, like the period of anarchy between gov't...

Appreciate it Anarres, this thread has shed a lot of light on what is going on with the game. I don't reload everytime something doesn't go my way, not even everytime I mutter a four letter word, just when I start stringing them together. :)

Gengis, if I get really bored I might. Right now I have all I can handle with the stuff I can't reload. For example, the Chinese beating my settler to a city spot with a fur luxury by one move.

Just want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the folks here who told me to set "preserve seed off".

Lots of work left to do on this....sure appreciate any suggestions; I can only take credit for kinda rearranging other peeps work. Obiously the trees are all Snoopy's; the grassland square is a rework of one of Womack's grassland squares. The sistine chapel is my own after lots of work with...

Many thanks Gainy! Have been doing a little terrain graphics and a couple of wonders (units you can place on map); would like to upload to get peeps opinion.

What is the best way of getting a screenshot? I had posted this awhile back on the creations board but got no response. I suspect the creationists are awaiting divine guidance. :) Hoping for better luck here.

It was an interesting story King and feel free anytime to drop by and scare my neighbors to death. They seem rather unafraid, you could say contemptuous of me. Just the other day the Romans accused me of not having a backbone. I would have showed them that I did but they had a spearman and I...

Very nice. :) thanks Wilbill

I've been playing Civ since Civ I. In it you could depend on a higher level unit defeating a lower level one. Not so with Civ II. In it if you thought the result of a fight was BS you could reload and often get a dif result. From what I have tested so far, in Civ III you get exactly the same...

Well Greyhawk I could say something about that - like isn't it coincidental the worst shape you are in the better your luck is? From now on when I get really frustrated with my units being defeated i'll just play on a tougher level.

After cooling off for a bit I realized what was happening. I had assumed a unit from another era, i.e. Med Inf would be vastly superior to a stone age unit. It looks like from the posts here and what is happening in game is that he only slightly superior. I can deal with that. Although it...

Hey I give up....sheesh whenever I'm 100 points ahead of the other civs from now on I'll just Y Y Y. Well maybe a few fortifies. Better still, I think I'll see what's on HBO. :)

Care to share that proof? If I were quick enough with screen shots, I could show you some prime examples to back up my argument. :)

I'm really sick of the AI cheating. Has anyone noticed a pattern? I think you automatically lose any 3rd fight in a single round but not sure of this. It seems ridiculuous to me when an elite medieval infantry 4,2,1 is dropped when attacking a 1,2,1 defense unit on grassland. If anyone knows...
