    Hooray! Forums successfully migrated!

    I was going to give you a hard time, because I'm posting probably a couple of times a week, but then I realized that 99%+ of those posts are in the Staff forum, so you never see them. :shifty:

    Looking GOOD! I am sure we will find (or be told about) some niggling little things that need to be tweaked over the next few days, but this was fantastic! and Quick! :woohoo:

    New to 6, long civ 3 player. Few questions.

    I was a long-time Civ3 player, but didn't play Civ4 or Civ5, and only got Civ6 in 2019 after some life-changing experiences. I don't play Civ6 any higher than Warlord, mostly because I want a low-key easily enjoyed game. When I started playing Civ6, I remembered one key thing from III -...

    German Names In Civ3

    I'll split them off when I get back on a real computer. (I'm not even going to try on my phone with Tapatalk. ;) ) Edit: Threads split.

    Still crazy after all these years...

    I love seeing so many familiar names showing up in this thread. :love: It's nice to know that I'm not alone in my love for Civ3. If only I had the time and energy to get it working on my laptop. But I hate Windows even more than I love Civ. One of these days I will find the inclination to...

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Actually, deleting posts can cause severe issues with the post database. And even when it doesn't, if the post in question is a thread starter, it deletes the entire thread, so every response post gets deleted, too. (When moderators delete posts, we really just remove them from public view, in...

    This Civfanatic wants a T-Shirt

    I'm (still) here. Just not as much or as often as I used to be. And I mostly post in the Staff and Admin forums.

    Two new administrators

    Adding my public congratulations, albeit rather late. ;) @Classical_hero: I was one of the original admins that TF selected back in 2009 (along with ainwood).

    Ethicalities of abandonware

    Why should I modify my *behavior* just because some idiot developer thinks I should? (And, for the record, I AM one of those "idiot developers". ;) ) My *needs* don't necessarily change. So if I find a tool that does what I need, I keep using it. Fortunately, most of my work is on *nix...

    How many cities do you settle?

    iPhone/iPad version is the DS version with a pretty wrapper. ;)

    Can I play on a map of earth?

    Civ Rev is strictly random maps, except for Game of the Week, which are hand-tweaked by the developers. There is no player accessible facility for creating your own maps.

    Noob with savegames to critique.

    One of the best resources I have found is Cracker's Improving Your Opening Plays . Check it out . ;)

    Let's discuss computer programming

    I've been a professional developer for nearly 30 years. The only time I've needed more than basic high school algebra was a classified DoD program dealing with tactical flight planning. And even there, the formulas to use were spelled out in the requirements documents. That said, the study...

    Let's discuss computer programming

    Rule of thumb in *nix: records are separated by newlines, fields within a record are separated by commas. A newline (\n) is a single byte, just like any other character. I have yet to hit a problem with data file size other than maxxing out the system file size limit. ;)

    Overpowered England

    When Sid developed CivRev, he said every civ should feel overpowered.

    Popup ads

    Surely, you jest! :eek: TF is lucky if this site makes enough per month just to cover costs. We don't mind if you use an ad-blocker. Even TF does most of the time. ;)
