    App Store; can't download new pack

    Figured it out...you need to update the app before you can purchase the Ethiopia pack.

    App Store; can't download new pack

    Having the same problem. When I open the game I can purchase the Ethiopia pack but when I click 'BUY' nothing happens. I've purchased the other expansions this same way and have both the base game, Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm.

    Do you build culture-giving improvements early game?

    Well it's a give and take. If you're moving your lux slider to 30% you're going to be suffering in scientific research. For me, I usually have one city that is a settler farm. Another that is a military farm. And a third that is working on a Great Wonder. I never try to build a Great Wonder...

    Do you build culture-giving improvements early game?

    Building too many city improvements is a handicap for me. It always puts me in budget trouble. At the harder levels, regent and so on, you have to build a temple early on in your cities or your going to be wasting production by turning workers into entertainers due to unrest. At the lower levels...

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    I've been playing Civ 3 for almost 6 months now. When I go to war I never use trebuchets or cannons in a stack to attack. One, they move only 1 space per turn slowing down movement. But more importanly, I find that more than 50% of the time the result is 'bombardment failed'. They really seem...

    Best way to win the game

    Switching Governments

    Now here's a real and strange scenario. I'm playing CIV 3 Complete for the MAC and I'm Korea. When I switch from Monarchy to Democracy my cash flow drops considerably. Why is that?

    Switching Governments

    Thanks for the help. One other question regarding the topic. If I have say three settlers waiting to build new cities and I'm just about to switch governments would it be better to have those settlers hold off on starting new cities until I've switched to say Monarchy or Republic or does it matter?

    Switching Governments

    Thanks for the warm welcome! What exactly is unit support??? BTW; are some CIVS more productive under different governments?

    Switching Governments

    I've been playing CIV 3 for about 6 months now. It seems almost every time I switch governments from Despotism to Monarch or Republic my cash flow actually DECREASES substantially instead of increasing. How is this possible? I can literally go from +5 in Despotism to a -20 in Republic. I'm...
