    Rhye's of Civilization: the fastest loading mod

    I wasn't thinking you were American - the 'Livorno, Italia' gives it away a bit.....! I have now tried el mencey's 300+ x 300+ Earth map and my new PC (Athlon 2400+) runs that about the same speed as my old one ran yours - though I have only got to 1200AD odd. I am going to have to figure...

    Rhye's of Civilization: the fastest loading mod

    I couldn't take it any more. I've finally shelled out for an upgrade from a P2 333 to an Athlon XP 2400+ 512Mb 80Gb HD DVD etc etc since I must (not an option, MUST) be able to run Championship Manager 4 (minimum specs (!) P3 600 Mghz). Americans probably won't undersand the fascination of a...

    Rhye's of Civilization: the fastest loading mod

    Great mod. I am stuck with a P2 333 so (according to the back of the box) shouldn't even be able to run PTW. Oddly enough it runs better/smoother/less crashes than vanilla. Inter-turn times are a major issue for me and while I had tried the original map by the time I get to about...

    GOTM #14: Chitchat (spoiler thread)

    Haven't submitted yet but went down to defeat in about 600AD. My problem is how do you get past the Persian? He outbuilds you in cities 4-1, units, 6-1, techs 8-1 and tends to be aggressive. How can you take him out unless you hit him with a warrior rush early on? Even then you need to be...

    GOTM Schedule Announcement for 2003

    Does anyone know if PTW has been released in UK yet? None of the usual shops in Aberdeen have it in stock and the staff seem not to know anything about it?

    A little better quality control on this month's GOTM

    Surely if someone wanted to reload a turn 10 times till they got a good result what you would do is: 1. Quit Civ and copy the saved turn in question 10 times (or 15 or 20 or whatever). 2. Load each turn one at a time until you get required result. 3. Voila - you have reloaded 10 times...

    GOTM #12 *Spoilers* Thread

    Space Race victory. 'applause' Only just though. 2046 was calling it a bit fine I thought and I wasn't sure I would make it but a couple of tech trades near the end got me the bit of kit I needed. Went agressivly for the Chinese early on. Wiped them out BC. Skirmish war with indians got...

    WWII Pacific Theatre of Operation (Japan)

    I'm a bit usure as to the presumed start date of this scenario - is this supoosed to be a Dec 41 start? In which case Japan should not be at war with the Soviets since Stalin has just pulled his Siberian Divisions over to defend Moscow from Guderian. There was a 'war' - more of a border...

    GOTM #11 *Spoilers* Thread

    Domination Victory in 1760 with a score of 3319 'The Magnificent'. Not bad for me I thought! I usualy play on Emperor at standard size but this seemed easier than that - I think the small map gave the AI less space to expand so they couldn't get too far ahead of me. Crucially though I...

    Screenshot of the Day #11: Spider Web

    Don't feel bad - I had no idea about this either. Mind you it's most likely tooooooo much information!

    GOTM9 - The Japan Campaign site is now active!

    Looking at that map (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showt...8300#post368300) my city density is actually very similar to yours - the bit that threw me was 3 cities on the little island to the east of homeland - I only had one city there! Obviously city closeness is not the solution then - oh...

    GOTM9 - The Japan Campaign site is now active!

    How close do you build your cities? From the little bit of the Egyptian homeland visible on some of the maps you look to have a very dense build? By the time I got mapmaking in my game Japan had already filled up the north and west of his island so there was nowhere left to land without...

    How did you make contact in GOTM9? (July02 Spoiler)

    The Germans came over in a Galley and landed a city on the little island between me and Japan. I destroyed the city ASAP.

    The biggest issue with Civ3

    I tend to have trouble finishing a lot of games. I get bored because it tends to become obvious a long time before the end that either I will win or won't win. If I am going to win I just have to keep on doing the same things over and over again - it becomes repetative. Wow, so I have stealth...

    GOTM #9 *Spoilers* Thread

    First GOTM I have tried seriously - last one barbarians thumped me so bad I gave up! Goodie huts on my island gave me diddly but once I figured I was alone I've went for a 'close city build' strategy. I always used to go for a perfect spaced -let every city build to max - approach but for my...

    Rate the new patch (1.21f)!

    Emperor, large random map, didn't see any real difference. AI still has stealth bombers all round as I am sailing about in galleons - in about 1500ish! After winning 3 games on monarch I moved up to emperor - maybe I need to go back down again! A thing for next patch (unless I am missing...

    Winning on Monarch level

    The only early wonders I seem to be able to build are either the collosus or the great lighthouse. I usual get nothing else till much later when if I am doing ok I can build every wonder from newton or univ suff onwards. Forget about leonardo, adam smith, bach, etc - I'm not even close with...
