You could probably mod the specialists in PTW to be the same as C3C. Of course, you don't get engineers or police....

That is true, I could mod them. But then the corruption model in PTW and C3C are different. This is why the game designers boosted specialists in C3C, I believe. So if I modded them and used Ring City Placement, Second Core Forbidden Palace, and Palace Jumps, I would imbalace the game.
I'll stick with PTW and pickup C3C whenever I can. Its a great game in all its versions. The only drawback to Vanilla and PTW, is that all of the challenges and SGs are in C3C and the majority of the great mods are in C3C. Something to look forward to.
 
Imbalance the game in your favor? What's wrong with that? ;)

Seriously, tho...I'm a firm believer in making the game fun for yourself......

Certainly. I got my Conquests expansion from Ebay for next to nothing. PTW will probably do you for a while, then when you're looking for a breath of fresh air in your game, Conquests will do that.
Even only the seafaring trait with use of currughs will already lead to new strategies to discover.

The Seafaring Trait combined with the curragh makes for a huge difference on archipelago and continent maps, especially if you give the curragh the same transport capability as the galley.

I heartily agree, I stack the game in my favor as much as I want, to include making sure that I am the only Seafaring civilization on an archipelago or continent map.
 
Here you go.
A very recommended program. I can't play without it anymore. You do need a fully patched up version of the game to be able to run it.

I prefer the MapStat over CivAssist (Dianthus' CRpSuite in Turners signature ;) ).
 
ı am a warmonger , nibble away at my neighbours and as soon as serious forces arrive ı sue for peace . They go somewhere else , ı stab the neighbour in the back once more . The question is do ı get a hit on reputation if ı attack within 20 turns of peace deal ?

Definately, yes. You break the peace treaty.
 
ı was doing the same thing in vanilla , it appeared it wasn't that damaging then .Thanks , ı am figuring out why everybody start to hate me suddenly at around turn 100 or so .
 
How does one REX effectively? I have been trying to do this in recent games, but to no avail.

Also, how often should settler facories be pumping those units out? I usually do a good job with them on a consistent basis, but my population will start to hit low numbers and then I do not know what to do. In that case, what should I do if I cannot build settlers right away?

Civilization III: War Academy has useful info for you ;)

Here's info on settler factories

Here's info about opening plays (REX)

Both faqs taken from good ol' War Academy.

Watch those numbers when running Settler factories, keep checking the micromanagement. If you slip up, build Wealth until the population hits your startiing level.
 
Can anyone tell me where to find Map Stat? I can't get Civ Assist 2 to work for me.
I looked in the Utility Program section and can't find it.
Thanks!
