I'll have to check those out at some point, but life is way too busy for me to find C3C time right now.

I don't think I've check in here in a couple of years, but it looks like y'all are still going strong!

I'm exceptionally late to the party, and it's been a long time since I played C3C. Once upon a time, though, I thought of myself as a solid Emperor-level player, with a few skirmishes above that. But let's be clear: I didn't play for diplo, space or culture. I conquered. With that said, I...

We've haven't had a gaming console in probably 5 years. When COVID first started ramping up, the Little Aabraxan (who isn't really so little any more) talked me into buying a Nintendo Switch. School had shut down and she was absolutely bored to tears. She used Zelda: Breath of the Wild as...

Welcome back! I had something very similar happen to me. Couldn't get C3C to run for years, finally got a Switch and Civ 6, and then discovered that the Steam version of C3C would run. Oh, joy!

You can airlift workers. You cannot airlift settlers or artillery.

^^^Excellent!

My kid used BOTW as bait in the "COVID Boondoggle to Get a Switch," and it worked. I was hooked on BOTW for about 2 months. Even now, I want to go back and replay it. Yeah, SMAC would not have been my first choice to introduce her to 4x games.

Goodness gracious. I've been playing how many years? And this never occurred to me?!? When the Little Aabraxan was about 5, she wandered in one day while I was playing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. When she asked what I was doing, I tried to figure out how to explain that I was researching...

^^^I think that's correct, but don't know enough to really elaborate for you. I'm thinking it's "they know oil will be on tile X, Y, but don't know what the tiles between them and X,Y are."

The post right after mine works really well: Go to random.org, look for 'random lists,' punch in whatever civs you want to choose from and hit 'randomize.' Take the #1 entry on the list that comes up.

That makes sense. I don't think I've ever pulled a double SGL before.

I thought you could only get 1 SGL at a time. I just pulled off the Philosophy slingshot, snagged an SGL for Philo, chose CoL as my freebie, and snagged another one! ETA: I've also attached a save, just in case anyone wants a peek at it. I cannot recall ever getting double SGLs before.

My defensive wars are pretty rare, so I don't usually think about that.

But we already know you won! Besides, if you won by culture, you pretty clearly did everything I never do. :mischief:
