My first game of Civ 3.

Can you manually select a specific piece of music to listen to, like in Civ2? I hope we are not stuck with percussion sounds in the ancient era!
 
Is Elvis your happiness advisor? I always loved Elvis :king:
 
What difficulty level is this game on? I read through the previous posts, and didn't see it stated. Sorry if I just missed it somewhere.
 
Well....I've killed yep more barbs. Even a few horsemen. I built a road to a German city but it's not conected to any resources yet....so no trading. :( Then he was killed by a barb. But I just noticed a lot of Iron deposits. So going to get some colonies down. They the Germans will warm up to me. (They are kind of pissed right now. ;))
 
Good Luck on your first game! I hope you grow in culture and change the goverment type to Mornachy. Thanks for all! greate pic's and game info
:goodjob:
You are the MAN!!!
:king:

I salute you great leader of CornEmpire!!!
:egypt:
 
Good job King Corn :king:

What do the barb villages look like? I saw some hut looking thing on the hills west of North Post but I'm guessing that was a goody box.

Looks like there's plenty of room to expand!
 
More screens:

Keep up the good work, corn! :king:
 
I've seen the screenshots where you illustrate the line of sight concept. Is the line of sight broken if you stand next to a mountain (ie you cannot see behind the mountain)?
 
After intruding into American territory, Abe politely asked me to leave.....which I agreed too....but decided to strike a deal at the same time, and for some gold he introduced me to the English.

Once I talked to the English I got them to trade their map for some gold. Now I know where they are. :D I built a ship and a warrior to ride it. I've gone deep into German territory and am going to take a city. :D So I'll have some war time screens shots soon. ;)

But I've built the Pyrimids, and working on the lighthouse. :)
 
Played my first game of Civ3 earlier, took Greeks on a chieftan level/4 civ/small map. It was much different than what I expected. It's going to take a while to get use to the attacking style that will have to be used. It's also going to be hard to wage war on a foreign island/continent unless you have 1. A city on it, or 2. the Battlefield Medicine small wonder, otherwise your units get ripped up pretty quickly.

I screwed around for most of the game, and then just built the UN a few years before the forced retirement so that I could have something other than a "score" victory (I got a diplomacy victory, I was elected head of the UN). I just got done messing around on a prince level game (actually it's not "prince," but I forget the name they gave it, and I looked in the manual and they had it wrong in there, saying that it was still "prince"). I basically got my butt kicked because I didn't expand fast enough and got sandwiched between the ocean, the Americans, and the Romans. Even on Prince level you have to expand quickly.. when I play another game tonight I'm going to try building 1 road and then adding my worker to my city to help produce a settler quicker (for those who don't know, you need a pop 3 city to produce a settler since a settler takes up 2 pop points)

I was a bit irritated how they had the overall interface set up. I knew it wasn't just a window like civ 2, where you could do all kinds of other things like icq and surf the net easily... but this is much much worse. I couldn't even alt-tab out of the game, and basically had to exit the game to do anything else (I got locked up after I came out of the game after the first time as well.) Overall I like it, and I'm sure it's gonna be a great game on MP. Happy playing.. and watch out for those raging barbarians... eek!
 
Still more goodies... this is probably the last bunch of screens for tonight. More to come tomorrow!


Someone wants to see a barb encampment, it's under the white unit, very hard to see...

Click to expand...

The shrooms ARE huts, you will notice as your cities get bigger, these shrooms grow around YOU cities too....as they expand. :D
 
GO CORN GO!

has the AI effectively attacked you yet? I'm really hoping that the AI will be able to actually systematically invade, not just kinda have units randomly wander toward you in times of war.

stupid amazon.com... :mad: haven't even shipped my copy of the LE yet. urg.
 
I'm all the way up to 1946 or so, and have never been attacked by anything other than a barbarian. Then again, I have strong ties with every group on my continent. I'm well in the lead culturally, but power wise, I suck.
