Wondering why Builders can't build Roads
This exercise is not new, it was first posted by Moonsinger in May 2003. Here is the objectives of the exercise.
Here is the Save file it is an unmodded Civ III v1.29f version (GOTM mods not needed)

Bremp was kind enough to upload his trading exercise that was included in the original May 2003 posting. Again it is an unmodded Civ III v1.29f version. It is at Diety level but the point of the exercise is trading only so level does not matter.
Here is the objective of the exercise.

EDIT: Since this is Civ III and not C3C, there are some civs available to trade with that do not show from the F4 screen. They can be accessed thru the Diplomacy Button or by using "Shift D". You can also "Shift rightclick" on a portait to change it to another civ. There is a maximum of 8 portaits at any time.
I have started this as a new thread so that people aren't tempted to read the prior results. I'll give everyone a few days to play and then I'll post a link to the original thread results. I'm still trying to acquire a Greebley's trading example that was reference in that thread.
I would also like to give a special thanks to AlanH for finding the file for us.
Please don't read past here until you have played - Results are posted below
Here is the link to the original posting of Moonsinger's Trading Exercise. It was played by some of the top and most knowleadgable players like SirPleb, Bamspeedy, Qitai, Ronald, Greebley and of course Moonsinger.
Moonsinger said:Recently, there are couple players asking me how to keep up with the tech pace while getting rich at the same time. So I thought it may be fun to have a little practice session on that. While awaiting for the next game, let's have a little friendly learning competition here. The rule for this thread is as follows:
1. I will post a random save game and each of us will play zero turn (that means you can do whatever you want after you load the game but do not go to the next turn).
2. You must write down all the steps that you did and post the result here. A simple result would be fine; there is no need to upload your save game here.
The winner will be the one who have made the best possible deal or the best sequence of transactions. What do you really win? The reward = the experience to help you on your next game.
Let's play. In this save game (vanila Civ3 with patch v1.29f), your civ is falling about 6 techs behide, it's your job to bring your civ to even tech parity with the tech leader and to become the tech leader yourself. Feel free to make any deals with the AIs and post your transactions here. Please remember that all transactions must be made within the current turn. Have fun and good luck! I will post my result later. I'm sure we will have a lot to compare. Chances are I'm going to learn something new as well.
