Thanks to all thre of you... I didn't realize I was paying maintainance on those little workers. I had only been using my little trick sparodically so the economic impact would have been smallish...and the treasury fluctuates so much anyway. Drafting when at pop12 would be nice...but don't...

Here's the short version of my question... If my city is at population 12, and well away from building any hospitals, is there any reason not to build bunches of workers and have them hang around until they can be added to smaller cities? Longer version for the bored... So sometime in the...

Wouldn't it be cool if you could negotiate with other nations an arms limitation treaty? It looks like it would be pretty easy to do... Open up the negotiations and say "I'll keep to X number of Y units if you keep to Q number of Z units". He might agree or balk or ask that he be allowed...

I always end up here late at night somy thoughts are sometimes half formed. Sorry about that. I'll throw a bit more onto what I had in mind... Slave plantation... What I wanted here was a zero-sum improvement. If you need the resource/economic boost then you might be tempted to build it...

Just some thoughts of mine on units/improvements I'd like to use...if someone made the graphics for me ;) Submersable Aircraft Carrier... I think I've mentioned this one before...but it's too good to let slide away. Think of the terror in the enemys eyes when he see's planes pop out of the...

I was wondering if it might be possible to create a submersable aircraft carrier? Because, let's be honest, we all wish we had one! :crazyeyes I know in civ2 it wouldn't work though...so maybe someone who knows how civ3 functions a little better then I do could let me know. And then maybe...

Before I got the corruption curing patch I was a huge fan of the Greeks. Being commercial meant I could have a halfway decent sized empire without being ripped off by the towns around the fringe. And the science bonus is nice too :p Hoplites work well especially for me...Nice detrerant...

yeah it is to bad we couldn't get a wonder going there...but worse still there's nothing really to change production too. I hate to see it shift to something trivial and have all those beautiful shields go to waste :cry:

Ludd II rose to power during a period of stability and reigned in a quiet conservative manner. For this he has been forgotten by most today. Let us take a look at a few of the highlights of the man they would can "The Despot of Knowledge". He began by stepping lightly, contunueing the work of...

Just letting you know that I'm here and grabbed the saved game for my turn. I would expect to be able to post my turn by late tuesday night judging by my schedule. And are we allowed to name cities whatever we like? (this is my first group game) I didn't know what the ettiquate is...

Here are just some ideas that I think might work as general modifications... Senate... Improvoment that reduces corruption and perhaps makes a citizen content. Think of the local assemblies in federal states. Should be available very early industrial or even late medaeval on our beloved tech...

Go to "tools" and then you'll see "use default rules" or something like that. Uncheck it or whatever. Then you'll be able to edit. Very simple once you find it...but they didn't put it someplace obvious. I'll have to say something to my domestic adviser about that :crazyeyes

So things are heating up on our little lot of land! (oh no...not a war!:p ) As for nice trades...I recall reading somewhere in the manual that not pressing for too much will endear you to other leaders. But since the manual may or may not be accurate...I really don't know for certain. And...

From the hands of the Founding Raven, Captain Ludd accepts the torch of leadership. Shortly after being fitted for his throne he quickly decides that the most important project for his people is the expansion of their borders to include both room to settle and resources to thrive. Both will be...

Sorry...just this part of the week is busy for me. But Sunday I have all kinds of time so I'll take my turns and see if I can write something of interest for the gang. I've already downloaded the game and taken a quick look at the screenshot. Again...sorry for not letting you know I was...
