    The Fate of the World Hinges on One Decision

    I think the aspects of having a "world war" is absolutely the best part of this game. In the current game that I play, Emperor on huge pangea, there used to be 6 civs on the same continent with me. Using the despot-rush I rushed out the Babs, later on took out Russia and almost completely killed...

    Abusing the combat and great leaders probability code

    How about doing some reverse testing. If you are interested in how GL's are formed, save before using an Elite to attack, and if you get a GL, save again in a different file, reload before the attack, and attack with a veteran. If you are right, you should get 100% troop promotion. It's true...

    Civ Add-on/Expansion Pack Ideas

    Perhaps it's a good idea to know if you are on the good side of someone, or some type of indicator to tell you the world opinion about you (and perhaps other civs too). Example: other than just annoyed, there could be a number associated to it, ranging from 1-100, with 1 being furious and 100...

    Continent Landing Strategy: Virtual Bridge

    Hi fellow fanatics! I have found this tactic to be kinda interesting, not sure if it is designed to be like this, but since it's there for now we might as well know it and understand what this means. I was playing Japanese on Huge map, pangea, Emperor level difficulty. Although it was...

    newbie city management question

    After some experimenting, I realize that the Hoover Dam wonder does NOT automatically sell off the existing coal plant in your cities, and it DOES still take up maintenance fee of 2 gold/turn. So perhaps just before (or just after) you get Hoover Dam, sell them so you don't have to pay the 2...

    building an army unit

    I think the best use for armies might be for defensive units. After all, you need these units to protect your calvaries and/or tanks while advancing the front line, especially fighting on a continent that's not your own. Having unloaded all them units on a different continent to fight on enemy's...

    Epic war with many units

    So how many units have you seen in a war with another nation? I am currently playing on Emperor with Huge pangea with default (I think 7 or 8) AI civs... I was the mighty Shogun Tokugawa, and quickly eliminated Babylonians and Russians...when the Chinese attacked me. Now I have a question...

    Espionage rulz!

    Hello fellow Civers! As the subject title suggests, I think the way Espionage is now rules...of course, if you have enough gold that is... I think it is very powerful to utilize espionage in this game, one of the most immediate benefit is that you get to view the enemy's composition of...

    newbie city management question

    Hi fellow Civ fanatics! First of all, Merry Christmas! But how can Christmas be merry without Civ3? So let me just go on with my newbie question. 1. Effects of banks/market on treasury income. I've tried to observe in towns with and with these improvements, by taking a laborer off a tile...

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Hi, So I know CIV 3 has all these cool animations, like workers shoveling and stuff...I can't seem to be able to turn off the worker animation while my other units move...it's annoying because for example, my calvary would move 1 step and pause for a half a second for it to update the current...

    Possible Exploit from Culture

    Hi, I dunno if this has been proposed, but here goes: You know how AI always makes sure that every piece of the land is covered by SOME civilization? Even if it means sneaking one settler in and get that city in? Well, if you are playing a strong-cultured civ, you will surely welcome such...
