i haven't played this game in a long time. recently downloaded it again. i'm not sure if this is or bug of if i accidentally hit some game play mechanic that is screwing up my stack/unit selection. when i go to any square with multiple unit stacks, the computer automatically selects...

sometimes is so frustrating that i need a mini rant, apologies in advance. things that really bug me 1. when a barb or enemy unit comes onto a city tile and you instantly kill it. even if it is the most valuable resource tile you have, the ai will not automatically start working the tile...

these units are built in a single day and the local populace is shrunk to one in many cases against ai. it doesn't seem right that every single unit that is produced has more experience than my battle experienced, barrack produced units. especially w/ civs that give archers double experience...

this has been bugging me for awhile. when i select to build a road or move a unit to a certain square, the preview road or preview destination route will come up and i select preferred preview. but as soon as i select it, the route or destination changes to something different and i...

when i try to look at the powergraph in some games, certain civs don't show up at all. is this a bug or due to esponiage? once i see this happen i try everything. i open borders, trade techs, try and share religions. but once it happens i can never get their graph to show up. other...

obviously, on offense you can mouse over unit to see odds of victory. i would love to view defensive odds when computer is attacking. is this possible?

this has happened to me a few times. i have a vassal and am at war at the moment. i lose one of my cities to the enemy. a city that i built and controlled since bc time and even built forbidden palace in. now it is in the 1700's. i quickly take back the city but instead of going back to...

this has been driving me nuts lately. i will have great trade. harbors, custom houses, etc... w/ a ton of trade routes. all of a sudden nearly every single civ will cancel trades at the same time. a lot of the time they don't even like each other/share different religions and one of...

i'm playing as montezuma vanilla patched. it is still relatively early in the game. somewhere around 1 bc. i have built stonehenge which gives me 1 culture and a library in one of my cities. the computer ai roosevelt builds a city right on top of me where my culture borders are touching...

is slightly messed up in my opinion. this is the tool to see if the ai is going to boss you around and if they are going to attack. i'm still playing vanilla w/ patches and i will never understand the correlation between going to war and power graph. for example: i have tanks...

why do your people get unhappy w/ war unhappiness when someone attacks you. i can understand if you are a warmonger but when you are defending yourself you souldn't get unhappiness from war.

this is on vanilla. i'm playing and i get to liberalism 1st, then pick nationalism so i can hook up calvary 1st. then i forgot that i didn't have horses because by this point in the game i have usually acquired them. so i make a deal for horses before calvary and start turning out horse...

one of the main problems i have while playing is not noticing large incoming force. i'm constantly at war so there is always a red message to upper left telling me about so and so forces in my area. 95 percent of the time it is a repeat message about a lone ship somewhere around my shores...

there should be a forum just for complaining. i know it gets old but sometimes if just feels good. i'm playing as catherine in a standard game right now. i have 5-7 more cities than any other civ and 15 more than elizabeth who has a grand total of 5 cities. ever since the beginning of...

sorry if this has already been posted. but how is it that writing is researched ahead of alphabet. pretty hard to write w/ out letters.

i'm playing rise of rome right now. it's says i need 35,000 vp's. i've gotten rid of both romes but am tied w/ another civ w/ 20,000 points at the moment. my question is the breakdown on actual victory points. how much are these statue things, how much for each kill, how much for taking...

when i leave a city w/ roads on both sides of it sometimes it only lets me go a single square out of the city and then next turn i can travel the roads like normal but other times i can leave a city and i can travel the roads like normal right from the start. all this is happening in my...

in civ III, the ai knows where u are at all times. if u have one weak city unprotected somewhere the ai will send a couple troops in a ship and get it immediately. it constantly bypasses better protected cities for cities that are less protected. if u accidentally leave a troop by himself...

i was building my civ pretty nicely when i noticed that the computer built right next to me on some unoccupied desert squares(the english to be exact and it was emporer game). i didn't give it too much thought since i can't grow on these type of squares at all. i figured my culture would flip...

i'm on my new random game and it turned out to be a lot of small islands. i was lucky to be only seafearing civ and other civs took a long time to get around to map making. i pretty much own every island but am having a hard time doing anything w/ the cities because they get so unhappy so...
