Lurker: Another variant idea: Instead of using religion as the criteria, what about the alphabet? If your civ has a name that begins with the letters A to M, any civs you meet with names that begin with A to M are friends; those whose names that begin with N to Z are enemies. You cannot turn...

Can you post a save game?

One more reason to use gold per turn on your Military Alliances is that the AI are a bit more inclined to fight on your side when you pay them. Several times I have had MAs expire at the end of their 20 turns and the war of the AIs kept on going, as long as the cash was flowing. I am not...

Looks like a fun game!

:banana: Oh, thank you for such kind words. It has been a while. Life, work and other stuff (mostly books, online jigsaw puzzles and board games with the wife). Two things I really expected to see done since October 25, 2014 (my last prior login): Quintillus had finished his story Wrath...

I have had the same problem, Demo102. Here is my fix: First, all the files are in the "Conquests" folder; the one with "Civ3Conquests.exe". Second, the file name is "highscores.cv3" not "highscores.civ3". Again CV3 not CIV3 Third, the files "bic_in.tmp" and "bic_out.tmp" do not appear until...

:wow: Shazam!

Once I got Oasenstadt up to 3 turn Cavalry I tried to get other cities up to 4 turn Cavalry. I focused on 4 turn Cavalry cities due to the English war. I railed to try to get cities to produce units without shields overruns. Making 30 spt in Oasenstadt would not help us make Cavalry any...

Elephantium is thinking of combat settlers, where you build a city to give you easier access to your intended target. It cuts down on the number of enemy tiles your units have to cross before they can attack. In turn, that reduces war weariness, since fewer units will be inside enemy borders...

I like that trick. The only issue I see is remembering to turn the City Governor off, whcih may require me to rename the city (Warwick - CityGov Is On) for a short time until it gets down to size one. Ohterwise, I know I owuld forget to get rid of the City Governor. In a science farm city it...

Well, we only have 2 Rifles in a city with a barracks at the moment, in Neu-Osloh. So we could upgraded them, replace two Rifles in the field, upgrade them and repeat as needed. We only have 11 Rifles total, and it would only cost 330 gold. However, with Leonardo's Workshop just five tiles...

My handoff notes are incorrect. I should have deleted the line for Horsemen. The obituary for our eHorse is below.

An eventful turnset. South Germany 1070 AD We have conquered Warwick, Liverpool, Gloucester, Nottingham and Hastings. Richmond flipped back to England before we declared war. England still has over 20 cities. This was not the walk in the park that we (I!) expected. England has...

0 0970 AD Drop science to 0%. Replaceable Parts in -- turns, +566 gpt, 78 gold. We don't have any geeks. [IBT] Bad News Richmond flips back to England. 1 0980 AD Richmond flipping is not good but not all that bad either. England will not have time to connect the...
