Thank you very much. The future tech per se doesn't have much interest for me; conquering every enemy civ ( particularly if they all gang up on me ) does. I just ordered the complete Civ4 series from Amazon. :clap:

Thank you Xenex. You answered my primary concern. In Civ3, I tended to go for a Cultural Victory, but it was more difficult to achieve a Military Victory in the same time span ( I prefer to play a huge map with at least 8 opponents ). I prefer to exterminate all the AI Civs, so I will go for...

This has been somewhat helpful to me, as a longtime player of Civ2 and Civ3. I have not played Civ4 or 5 yet, but I am not happy with 3, because of the game automatically ending at 2050a.d. Downloading Editor patches did not work on my version 1.07f of Civ 3, so now I'm starting to look at...

Even if they can't make big changes at this stage, I believe they read the comments in this forum, and there will someday be a Civ 4. In that belief, I would like to make my suggestions for improvement, which are few. A-Republic is a more advanced system of government than Democracy. The ancient...

Although I am not in favor of adding slavery to the game, if they did it should have the following effects: Increased resource production in agricultural and mining, and also in building infrastructure such as roads, city walls, temples and Wonders. Following the classic colonialist result from...

The best counter I've found to an enemy coastline bristling with subs, battleships, coastal fortresses, aircraft, missiles & nukes is a layered group of ships with the cheapest units ( destroyers ) forming a fairly front and side screening wall. behind them three spaces are the Aegis cruisers...

I prefer the post-WW2 'unofficial' Austrian national anthem ( which was also stolen by Germany ): 'God bless Senta Berger-land, we pledge our lives to thee. If I can just get this caveman suit off, soon I will be free...' ( or something like that )

Your dity's ability to defend against spy sabotage, theft or bribery is enhanced if you have a courthouse in the city. [This message has been edited by guderian (edited March 07, 2001).]

Strike Hard & Quickly, And Don't Disperse Your Forces! I like these kind of posts, as I can compare my strategy in that situation with yours. Hope you were able to get a few hut-hunting triremes out on the oceans early! Good hunting! Text

It's amazing what kind of politicians you get when you mix 4 billion% inflation with 33% confiscation of gross national product and the resulting starvation in the streets... Those who created the Versailles Treaty and the Balfour Declaration are at least as stupid as 'Der Schnifter'. Socialism...

Maybe in CivIII during anarchy they could have Elvis shooting up in the bathroom; or for the Diplomacy wench they could have Cleopatra committing suicide with an asp. For the military they could have Tojo trying to shoot himself ( unsuccessfully ). For science you could have King Kong swatting...

I usually play german, because of the cool names for cities that exist in reality, plus others I can name for famous germans in history, such as Ezherzog Ferdinand Max, Prinz Eitel Friedrich Freya, or Kronprinz Maximillian von Prittwitz. When I'm just fooling around with experiments, I play the...

Of course, you are correct. As I stated, these bizarre tactics are a result of my inability to build a competitive economy. This may be due in part to my wanting to populate every corner of the big map. I will shed these tactics once I have confidence that I can build bigger cities than my...

Yes, the hides would still make money, but the amount would depend on distance and size of trading cities, and not on need anymore, so you would get less gold. At least you will have established a trade route.

The two-settler start presents the best chance to get quick expansion. If you are not adverse to saving the game at 4000 b.c. and then experimenting with the second settler, you can get some amazing results. Also, if you think it's o.k. to re-try each hut you encounter until you get the best...

I believe 3 spies in each outer city will stop all spy intrusions, but you would need a big city to support that many. Add diplomats as early on as you can, and let Leonardo upgrade them to spies for you; it costs less.

Just a supplemental tactic for defending your ports in the industrial age: in addition to coastal fortresses, park a submarine in each port; they have a nasty effect on bombarding battleships and cruisers.

I am new to the Civfanatics forum. Although I have been playing Civ2 for five years ( mostly on Playstation, but now only on PC ), but have not had any conversations with other Civ2 players. I am concerned by what the concensus is as to what constitutes cheating. My attitude while playing is to...
