I *think* CS's will only puppet cities with a wonder in it and raze all other. They might keep cities without a wonder but has a great-person-built-improvement within the city radius. I haven't been able to confirm the 2nd point 100% though. I've seen 2 instances in my games where the CS's...

Personally I don't mind trying out Steam. Ever since buying a stardock game (sins of a solar empire) and that required me to install Impulse during the game installation or it won't continue, I've been more receptive to online distribution. I've had various pc components fail and having to...

I think you have misunderstood... or I have completely read the post wrong. The problem is that you have pillaged all roads leading to the capital but all the other cities can still use all the resources. From what I can recall, you only need to have the resource connected to the capital if...

I've played CTP2(never played the first one though). I didn't like it at all. It is nice to be able to play several hundred years into the future and have colonies in orbit and in the ocean and such but by the time you can really do those, the game should be won/lost already. Also I don't...

I never had naval combat so I can't vouch for that aspect. But the land combat aspect seems pretty consistant with what I experience. Cavalry level attackers generally don't have a very good chance aginst infantry. Cavalry against riflemen battles are winnable, but with big losses on my...

I didn't vote but I'm really leaning no. Mainly because having lots of multi-figure units in the mod means it'll become prohibitively big to be downloaded... For me anyways. And don't give me the "get cable/dsl" speech because neither is offered where I live.

I'll manually explore for the first 20-30 turns. I move them out slowly in a circular pattern and by around 30th turn, I've explored enough that when I have settled all the land I've explored, it'd be standing room only with AIs all around me. After that, I set all my explorers/warriors on...

I've played with accelerated production for a while. Then I started to play games without it. I went through what could best described as "AP withdrawal". It wasn't pretty... but I'm now used to non-AP games again.

I tend to automate my workers most of the time. I control my worker when I need them to do some much more important task than just improving tiles; ie connecting all the luxuries inside my border. I definitely use the governor to manage my city. I set it to manage mood and prioritize for...

1 city cultural is my vote. I have yet to get such a good city location so early in the game that I'm able to build all the wonders into that city.

no stack bombardment in PTW. Although there are 2 different types of stack movements in PTW though. And who voted not even owning Civ3? Why's that person even registered and visiting this forum anyways? :crazyeye:

633MHz is enough. I have a 400MHz machine and according to the box I barely made it.

With hexes you can only move in 6 directions. With squares you can move in 8. I really rather not lose those 2 directions just so civ3 would look like other strategy games.

I bought workers whenever the opportunity arises in ancient time in plain Civ III. I still do that now in PTW... although the price after inflation is a tad high. Since they are slow to build much of anything, I send them around building roads connecting all the cities. I play on regent level.

swordsmen are 3.2.1 I think Horsemen are 2.1.2 I vote for horsey coz I can cover more territory with them.
