How I used Spies to win a Spaceship victory... (Playing: Mansa, Monarch, Epic, Lakes) Mansu was third to build the Apollo Program twelve turns after Saladin, but had parity on technology. Maybe one or two monopoly techs. There were five AIs left, each having a protection pact (Cyrus with...

I had to upgrade my brand new bare-bones Dell with a new video card and bumped up to 1G RAM.

I suspect it is too late to implement something like this, but it is a pet peeve in CIII. I would like to see "fog of war" recede when ones gains the "Radio" technology. Instead of seeing x number of squares from your border/units, x+y would be visible due to radar towers/ships.

Hello, I am trying my first ever 5CC and 20k culture win, the save is attached. This is PTW Monarch game with all win conditions enabled. I am the Germans and my GA has just started. While I think I have a good start, I am concerned about the end game. Everyone keeps declaring war on me, and...

I am playing PTW Emperor level with the Greeks and found myself without coal. So I traded GPT for coal with a neighbor. In 20 turns I am frantically railroading my plains & grass lands using two workers per tile. Just before the trade expires, I break apart the worker pairs and send them to RR...

I am considering upgrading my PTW to C3C. I still have many things I have not conquered: Diety, OCC, AW, 20k Culture; so I will not be bored with PTW while waiting for Civ-4 to be released...but I can't help but wonder if an upgrade to C3C would be more fun. Is the change dramatic enough to...

In this scenario, would you raze the cities or strip them bare and let them become recaptured? With PTW on Monarch, I am a Viking monarchy playing against Japan, Korea, & Zulu. Vikings, Japan, & Zulu are all at war with Korea through use of MPP & a caught spy. Everyone has infantry, but Korea...

Here's the scenario: I trade Dyes with the Celts for GPT. The Celts have a MPP with China. I can attack China, forcing the Celts to declare war and break a GPT deal with me. I do not need the gold and the Celts are on another island. I would think that the Celts reputation would be damaged...

Does the difficulty level affect where resources, bonus, & luxury items are located? :confused: I have recently moved from Regent to Monarch in PTW. The last two Monarch games have left me without any luxury items within my initial land grab. Since I always search ot the vacinity to grab...

Embassies are not being utilized to the fullest, (I play PTW). There should be notification of certain events from an embassy at no additional cost, such as: 1) When a government revolts/changes. 2) A city is captured, razed, or flipped. 3) A GL has arrived I addition to notification, an...

I would like to see the addition of a Megapolis, a super city. Lets say you have two cities placed C-X-X-C, or similar where there is significant overlap of tiles worked (>4). Both cities are above a population of 18, meaning that Hospitals are required. Those two cities would merge to form...

I would like to see the corruption algorithm modified to include the duration of governement types and happiness of citizens. This assumes that corruption is higher when a new governement type is chosen than with a long term stable governement. Happiness is a factor of crime, education, and...

When are you ready to move up the AI level of difficulty? I did not want to try Monarch until I could earn a Spaceship & Domination victory on Regent. Never having won by Culture or Histograph are making me wonder if I am missing something. Likewise with the territory environment. I always...

Here is the status of my current game. (PTW) I am somewhat new and would like to read what others would do in this position: While using a large map with everything on random I ended up with the Koreans. I expanded to three cities before realizing I was alone on a fair sized island with...
