Pre-turn: I look around. I don't change much. IBT: Greece wants to trade maps. Nah. Inca declares on Egypt as they attack Hieraconpolis. They have two retreats Maghreb lose an Arty, promoting one of our Infantry BTW Civinator, the Torpedo boat movement sound could use re-balancing. It...

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree. It's 10 ship moves from Alexandria to the coast near Beijing -- I'm not sure there's a way to get ships to be able to do a 1T move from port to port in that space.

Any preferences on the next city site? Some options: * Fill in our home island a bit more -- N of Landskrona, along the coast. * Fill in our second island - E of Cape Town at the river's mouth * Logistical city near Dover/Palmyra/Syracuse * Logistical city on the coast near Thebes to simplify...

Any reservations about selling Chemical Industry right away? Inca will give us 18k + 250gpt, and Persia will give us Dyes, 5k, and 600gpt for it. Also - any preferences about where to put the Refinery? It adds a 50% shield boost. Normally, I'd build it in one of the biggest shield producers...

It's funny, I got laid off, job search, and started a new job again all between turnsets! 😂

I've got it. Has it really been two months since my last set? :crazyeye:

:bump: Any progress against the Maghreb?

I'd love to invade the Incan core by way of Old Mongolia, but a 20-turn peace would give us time to build up an invasion fleet in the C-1 sector (not to mention finish our conquest of Italy, Egypt, and the Maghreb)

:woohoo: What turned out to be the key?

Strange that this would break now. You played the previous save just fine. Maybe something with the .biq? Civilization III Complete/Conquests/Scenarios$ ls -la CCM* -rwxrwxrwx 1 brian brian 1110511 Nov 18 14:49 CCM3-Succession.biq -rwxrwxrwx 1 brian brian 1110511 Jun 25 2024 CCM3.biq Oh - I...

Heh, good point. My wife and I have been watching Deep Space 9 recently, so I have a bit of Star Trek on the brain. But hey, Klingons are basically Space Vikings, right? Capital Ship Dock...woulda coulda shoulda, oops. I think that would have been perfect to do about 2 turns ago, but now it...

Here's my pediaIcons.zip: @Jersey Joe That tech path sounds fine to me. Def agree with finishing off Maghreb, Italians, and Egyptians before changing land masses. I don't want to disband armies -- I'd rather see them die like Klingons in glorious battle!

I think it depends. For Workers, I think basically everything west of Bangalore is worthwhile. For troops, well... We're 7 turns away from attacking either Carthage or Rome (and then Egypt). I don't think any of those wars will actually take all that long. The last few certainly didn't! I...

Handoff notes: * Green Mountain needs lots of rails to boost its food intake. I made a Steamroller there in spite of its slow growth, thinking that railing it would make up for the population loss in short order. * Karlskrona isn't quite at the 120spt I'd hoped for. My final gambit was to...
