    Demigod and Up - AI good at city placement?

    Hi all, I recently got back into Civ3. I'm playing on Emperor, but from looking at succession games and other picture-based stories, it seems like DG and up, the AI makes more CxxC placement?? I remember some people saying that it is only because they have so many resources (settlers...

    CivAssist doesn't sync with C3C (Windows 7)

    Hi all, So, I got a new computer recently (Windows 7), and I got CivAssist II to work. I also got C3C to work. However...unlike my previous computer, when I play C3C, and get CivAssist II to run, it doesn't run with the game...like, it doesn't update every turn like it should. Any idea why...

    Is AI any smarter in higher difficulty (DG and up)?

    Hi all, I play a lot in Emperor, but sometimes, I try my hand at Demigod. It seems to me that the AI is smarter in DG, at least in terms of city placement...they do a lot more 4x4 placement (is that the term? I forgot ... cxxc placement) while in Emperor, there's always a lot loose placement...

    Pyramids or Sun Tzu's

    If you have an SGL, which do you choose? I generally don't have the choice, but free barracks definitely seem nicer than free granaries :D What do y'all think?

    Singapore's government, explain it?

    Hi, So, I was talking to a Singaporean and he was telling me that Singapore's one-party rule by the PAP isn't so bad since when, say, a term is near ending, one party is not trying to leave the other party in a bad position or people are trying to accomplish promises or simply do a mess before...

    Could the August Putsch have succeeded?

    Hi all, Was the August Putsch, you know, the one in Russia against Gorbachev, decided before it even took place (as in, was it clear it was not going to succeed?) thanks, Ansar (and aren't y'all glad this isn't another What if question?)

    A Way to keep Algeria?

    Was there a viable way to keep Algeria as part of France? At what point did the sh!t hit the fan and there was no going back? How could that point have been avoided? What about Tunisia? Would it not have made more sense to keep it (I don't have any problems with Morocco being let go...)...

    India and other colonies

    I read that the British were not so much conquerors of India, but as intruders at the higher levels of political power. Addtionally, when the British were leaving, Clement Atlee concluded that "two things were necessary: one was to make the Indians feel their responsibility by announcing that we...

    Blue Screen Error

    So, I got a blue screen today...not that blue screen of death, but it basically says this: What's in bold is what confuses me. What is BIOS memory and how can I disable those two things: caching and shadowing...and will that stop this blue screen from appearing. Also, any idea as to what...

    Computer not turning on

    My laptop shut down on me two days ago and I haven't been able to turn it back on. When I press the button, the button lights up for a moment and then nothing happens. Sometimes I press the button and it sounds like the computer is going to work, but then it shuts down. Can anybody shed some...

    Favorite/Shunned Government

    Does this affect the AIs decision at government choosing? From what I notice, the AI always ends up at Republic/Monarchy and then they all switch to Democracy.

    Right of Passage Raping

    How big are the implications for doing this trick? :D (what are the consequences) I know that you get a trashed rep, but what is trashed now (besides making a ROP with other civilizations)? Also, let's say the civ I'm going to ROP-rape only knows one other civ. If I ROP-rape one of them, and...
