How in the world is MP going to work anyway? My smallest games take days to finish. I doubt I'd buy it anyway. What I'd like to see is a nice patch fixing all the slow down problems during the later stagnant phases

I've had similar situations of loosing many modern tanks against units prior to inf when attacking a city. Realistically this makes no sense. Spearmen in reality will always loose to modern tanks (look at Afganistan). But this is only a game. That being said, I think it is important to...

I couldn't agree with you more. And with player corruption inhibiting large territories, it puts the player at a disadvantage if he wants to try and get a large score. Of course, I have heard that the new patch helps with corruption, so maybe I will try civ 3 again soon. But personally, I...

Nothing irks me more than seeing a hard won city reverts back to their native country after I've spent mucha shields in producing city improvements. I've been trying to come up with a strategy to help. Here is my latest one that I haven't tried out yet. Instead of razing which leaves a...

I was on track to winning via space race, when unfortunately I won by Diplomaticy instead. Having not save recently and wanting to watch the video everyone has raved about, I tried to find how to watch the movie /art/movies/space.bik Here is a bik movie format viewer...

No one will trade me. I have tried now for many years. I was the first to get steam powers and the rest of the world was way behind, so none of them could trade coal. Now a few have sources, but still won't trade. When I get home, I think I will search around and see if I can find a city...

In cheiftan and warlord it should not be difficult to keep up with the ai in settlers. Build for all cities defense+settler+?+settlers+?+settlers+... The '?' depend on the situation and how much food/production you city has. High food/low production cities might jusr push out...

Yes, I am worried about getting into a long drawn out war. My forces are larger than his (the Aztecs), and more advance (I am a few turns away from modern armor). I need coal to build RRs so that I can get more tax income and support both my research and army. I believe that I will easily win...

I don't think you can have multiple plants. Each plant says that it replaces any previous plants.

In my game I need coal, but no one will trade. I can start a war, but I am a democracy and don't want to go through war wariness. Luckily I have just discovered some oil and have been able to trade for rubber, so the only thing I am lacking is railroads. What are your startegies to get...

I haven't seen shelf-oil before, but a guess I have is that a city with a harbor and encompassing the oil in its boundaries might be able to drill for it.

Alright, I added a tech, "Law Enforcement," that comes after Espionage with the intention of adding a small wonder "FBI" that does the same thing as Forbidden Palace. But my in game tech tree got all messed up and wouldn't let me select other techs and lines where going all over the place...

That is my strategy. Get about 5-6 cities, then devote the "best" city to wonder production. But keep expanding until you are near the max. Furthuremore, switch to Republic asap. Reduces corruption, increases production. At least, that is what I try to do.

Under the lets make a deal choice during diplomacy there are multiple possible options at the bottom. One says "New" and this is where it start by default. It allows you to add/delete goods for trades. Next to "New" is "Active". This is where you change active trades. Next to the trade...

I agree, yet I have not been able to find it. Very disappointing. I was hoping to have a least a small map insert as in the game to help design. I hope firaxis pays attention to the game community and sends out some patches to fix these and other concerns.
