I recall someone asking how to make the Merkava carry other units. A Civ3 Army carries other units. Maybe giving the Merkava the 'Army' attribute will work.

I wasn't accusing anyone of cheating. I was disagreeing with the statement, "You have the assurance the top players don't cheat ever but win on their own strength." I still see no evidence of that assurance. I'm glad the new HOF will discourage it, though. Reloading makes helps me learn from...

Should HoF winners without Preserve Random Seed be removed from the HoF? I saw that Duke of Marlborough said reloading to redo combat is illegal, though I haven't read all 34 pages of this thread. The only purpose of getting a different random seed is to get a different result on...

I agree that reloading just to get a better random number won't help you learn from your mistakes. But you can learn from your mistakes by reloading back a number of moves when you've realized you've made a strategic mistake such as trying to build the wrong Wonder, or miscalculated your city...

Sulla said, "Take a look at my Civ3 page! There Sulla said, "I'm not sure why these pictures are coming out fuzzed either; they are perfectly clear before they get loaded onto the geocities server. " These pictures are coming out fuzzed because they are height=768 width=1024, but your HTML...

Just to clarify: I never said the top players were cheating. I was just pointing out that we have no evidence one way or another (not counting hearsay as evidence). I'm sure the top players are very good, and have no need to reload, but I still don't have convincing assurance that they've never...

I'm a master of not scoring much (at Diety) while not winning...

Matrix said, "Of course I don't have hard evidence..." You haven't shown any evidence. Matrix said, "but that's also not the point. The point is no one should cheat." Yes, no one should cheat. People also should not pronounce critical "facts" unless they are willing and able to...

Matrix said, "You have the assurance the top players don't cheat ever but win on their own strength." Sorry, Matrix, but you lack the information to assure anyone of that, even for reloading. You would need to a) for a particular game, watch over their shoulder and see they didn't, or...

Though Firaxis isn't charging for the new editor, I see nothing wrong in principle for charging for new features. How much money per hour are you willing to pay for fun? I'll bet we pay waaaaay less than a quarter per hour for Civ3.

One good way to learn is to replay a tough GOTM again and again until you learn what works and what doesn't. You can use the spoiler board thread to get ideas.

Six times. Workers in a Democracy work 150% faster. 2 x 2 x 150% = 6.

You can't judge the effectiveness of a type of government based on a single RL example. Marxist Communism might work if a government culture were developed to combat the temptation toward corruption and cronyism. Modern communuism seems to always come with corruption, though. Soviet...

Can an elite unit within an army produce a GL?

I never automate workers. They do too many stupid things. Even after all the work is done that I want, I'd rather fortify them (waiting to clean up pollution) than to automate them and have them wander off to annoying places, or build smaller cities with them. P.S. An industrious worker in a...
