After numerous attempts (and some that would have been successful if not for corrupted gamesaves), I finally won a game on Monarch. Celts, Continents, 70% water, temperate, moderate, roaming barbs, respawn on, all VCs enabled. It's not only my first Monarch victory, but my fastest win of any...

Celts, Monarch, respawning on, aiming for 100k Culture but will take any VC. Military advisor: We have destroyed the Strong Mongolians. I: Good, they deserved it. Okay, so who should be next? Arabia looks like the easier target; they lack both horses and iron (the last time I checked; if...

Who here is not celebrating Christmas this year?

In a recent game I missed out on a late AA wonder (Great Library I think, if I'm wrong then it's Great Wall), with it three turns due, but one turn from achieving Feudalism. With nothing left in the cascade, instead of switching and wasting hundreds of shields I just played out the turn and...

Okay, I've been consistently winning Regent by either Space or Culture (or occasionally Diplomacy); getting four cities in the top 5 in my last game was taken as a sign that it's time to move up. Okay, I'm going to try to post an upload of my first serious attempt at Monarch level. Byzantines...

Okay, I'm going to try again to set an attachment, if it doesn't work this time, I guess you folks can't help me; if it does, I hope someone can. Okay, I decided to go conquering, and attempt a domination win, just to practice my warmongering. Conquests 1.22, Celts, Regent, Continents, 60%...

There's a strategy I was tempted to try in a recent game, but I never followed through on it. Cowardly I guess. I'd thought of it myself, though I'm sure it has been attempted before. I was going to position my units near Alexander's cities, as if to commit RoP backstab, and then declare...

. . . did you receive my results for GOTM 51? The browser crashed when I was uploading the file. :(

Just a little poll to see what players do for a little extra challenge. And, aargh, can someone change 'no micromanagement' to 'no military' please? :wallbash:

How big was your biggest city that you recall? I got Alexandria to 37 (population a trifle over 7 million I think) once.

So much complaint has been made of some of Civ3's UUs. Will there be any changes made thusly? Especially hated is the Americans' F-15 unit, especially as it comes too late in the game. There are military units from earlier in history that can be more useful--the Buffalo Soldier of the...

This has probably been discussed a bezillion times here before, but I'm considering undertaking my first attempt at OCC. I'm thinking Aztecs (instead of my usually favored Egyptians), figuring Militaristic+Religious would help with city improvements, plus the military advantage of the former...
