Excellent point! As any mathematician will tell you, overall trends are meaningless, it's more important to judge based solely on the extreme examples from your sampling.

I was always against packing cities in close in the early game until one game where I was forced into it. I was playing a Small Pangea map at level 4 ( Monarch? ), maximized for land mass ( I forget the % ). I ended up on my own little island with about 40-50 tiles. I packed my cities in...

My friend Stu is still upset at me for giving him Civ1. It was thanksgiving, and everyone in residence was going home, but Stu's parents were away so he was staying in residence. I gave him Civ1 at 4pm on Friday, he had dinner, then started playing at 6pm. He finally stopped playing when he...

Well, people asked that I post back if I make this, and I thought I'd post back with my attempt. I started with Chukchi_Husky's BIC, but wanted a bit more simpler, mostly just changing the two units and modifying the worker actions to only allow roads, mining, irrigation and Clear...

Thanks Odin. I just changed my avatar and was pretty happy with the pitcure I found. I was curious if people would recognize the image.

No, not really. I'm just looking at simplifying the rules. I'd likely only play on tiny maps though, and might even increase the number of civs allowed on tiny maps so there's more early contact.

I was thinking of introducing my 7-year old son to Civ3 and was wondering if anybody had created a mod with very simplified rules. I'm considering making a MOD where there would be 5 units (settler, worker, attacker, defender, boat), no real tech tree and minimal corruption. It would...

With the exception of 54% of world land area (I believe it's only around 6%), this sounds very familiar to me for some reason. If only I could put my finger on it.

I can't believe no one has mentioned how incredibly statistically insignificant this poll is. It's like standing at the check out counter of the public libary and asking people if they enjoy reading. I was going to ask if people didn't have anything better to do than post silly polls that...

I would like the time to be displayed somehwere on the screen. Some of us have kids and are damn grumpy the next morning after being up until 4am playing Civ. Having a clock somewhere on the screen would allow me to get more sleep.

This seems like it complicates things without giving us much to enjoy in return.

Factories are only a waste of time if you also consider winning a waste of time.

Can Not Reproduce ( I think )

I don't know of a way to introduce a mid-game change, but here's my idea : - Create a map with two continents (use a Tiny map to make things easier and quicker). - Place about 8 ocean tiles between each continent. - Place 3 civs on one continent and 1 civ on the other continent. - Have...

My ISP @home was down last night and I couldn't get the save. I'll play tonight. Sorry all.

You should check out the Maps section in the Creation and Custimation Forum at http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=52 I glanced through quickly and thought that the series of "Strategic Game Board" maps by "Beer Engine". Here's a link to his naval map, and the thread...

Got it. Will try and play tonight.

I'm good with 2pm EST on April 13th as well unless M60 has any objections, in which case he's welcome to grab it since he's up after pindicator. Reg

Given the Easter Long Weekend, how long do you think we should give pindicator until his time is up?

Conqueror missed his 24 hours again, so here's the updated roster : SesnofWthr -- up next pindicator M60A3ttS rdomarat Conqueror '91 -- Missing In action Conqueror can still have his turn back if he post back with a "Got It" before SesnofWthr. Whoever picks it up should make sure...
