how do u "gain 100 gold in econ every turn"?

i cannot afford republic. if i ever change to it, i immediately become very poor because maintaining even a defensive force enough to not be bullied by everyone in the game breaks the bank account. how do u work around that? later on, communism offers great unit support for massive wars when i...

thanks for the replies. i think that i've improved soooo much in production, food, and battling ai's. but manipulating diplomacy and being a hardy trader are two things i have really got to take to the next level. regarding one of your responses, why would the others hate me if i am in...

yes, i have vista. how do u log in as admin? and not have files invisible?

hey all, i've been playing for over a year now and continue to learn something new each game. i play on regent, which is about my match. anyway, i've made mental notes of some oddities that have occurred along the way to which I have no answer. appreciate any answers! - in some games, every...

I cannot find my saved games so that I may delete them to make more disk space. Can someone tell me where they are stored, plz. Thanks!

agreed. i feel it is time to move up a level. but the reason they had bowmen is i expanded like wildfire (thanks to the tips in the academy!) and took all the horses and iron in the region. i was a selfish emperor, hoarding 4 horses and 3 irons. :) after all the romans needed them more than the...

how do u know i should move up a level?

just two random observations of the AI I made in my current game, including a question. first: I had just taken three Incan cities near my border and had about 35 calvary units massed in two tiles. The AI sneaks a settler and spearman around them and was about to attempt to found a city on the...

:sad:I was in the war academy for civ3 and saw explanatory pictures which displayed houses and small buildings on tiles outside the city center. ?? I have Civ3 complete and the only buildings in my game are on the city center tile. Is there somewhere I can download this enhancement? If so...

thanks for the advice. i completed my first culture win 100K today. i built cities very tightly spaced, expanded overseas, cash rushed like mad temples, universities, libraries. the comps sneak. .. .. .. . attacked me several times. i know the ai is computing strength and number of military...

I can now regularly win by military means or space. This game, I am the Celts and plan to try and build a dominant culture. I know u win culture race by acquiring a certain number of points in a city or across your empire as a whole. But how do u guys get to that point? This is my first attempt...

When u start a normal game and leave domination as one of the possible victory conditions the default number for cities that you can lose is set at one. So if u lose one city u are out of the game. I've been changing it to 6, so that u are eliminated if u cannot prevent the loss of 6 of your...

I've spent a few hours reading through the War Academy and forums and keep seeing mentions of "starving" newly captured cities. How do u do that so they don't flip when u capture them? Do you pillage all irrigated fields before you siege the city center? Do u just bombard the city with artillery...

thanks for the replies guys. one question i haven't seen answered: if u select conquest as a victory type, how many cities limit do you guys choose for cities you can lose. for example, i select 5 when the game starts so that if a civ loses 5 of his cities in the course of the game, he is done...
