errr. how are you using your computer if the power is out?

Glad you edited that. I thought the worst after reading the first sentence. Anyway I thought it would have been better to make contact anyway. You can make some excellent deals from trading with other nations. Unless it's somebody like Germany who always seemed to be annoyed with you...

Oh yeah one other thing I forgot to say. Just because your behind doesnt mean your going to lose. I have had a few games now where ive been 3-4 techs behind and after a few good turns of luck. Ive pulled right up and passed the rival civs. Never give up unless you truly are doomed. Strange...

You poor thing. Quick somebody bring this man a laptop with Civ3 installed. God damn it I said NOW. :D

I was pretty sure they acted like that somehow. It would be really unfair if they knew all the great places to build cities from the start.

I havent had one but I would think that a great starting position would be a huge big island all to your self with lots of rivers and plenty of resources.

I dont have PTW so I cant comment on that. Im not so sure the AI does know the map. For example: I find a small little island in the middle of an ocean and I think "oh good ill build a city there" then after a few map exchanges i build a settler and miliatary unit to protect and by the time i...

civ3 has yet to beat my all time record of lost time which is 24 hours of Black and White. That was the fastest day ive ever been through. But Civ3 definitley makes that clock spin fast and I hate it. 4 hours just doesnt seem like 4 hours anymore. But this whold conversation brings up the...

Is a common phrase AI say when they want to trade maps but my question is should you trade maps early the game? Usually in a game I uncover more of the map than the AI. Which means I get to see where all the lovely resources are before the AI. The AI doesnt seem to want to explore the...

It wasnt long ago that I was posting this same type of topic and now ive moved up from chieftan to warlord level and I think im ready for the next. As these guys say, check out the war academy. Keep browsing the forums and take in as much info as you can. It REALLY HELPS! I think the two...

well said Padma Anyway, if i was comparing artillery and and cruise missiles, id say cruise missiles are pretty crap. Mainly because once you use the missile it's gone, but then the artillery just keep coming. :cool:

I dislike the F15 on the basis that it comes so late in the game. I like a UU early in the game so that it's available for early wars.

I would say that a cultural 20k victory is hardest mainly because i havent been able to do it yet. I usually aim for a space race win and only get in a war if I have to, which means a diplomatic victory is easy for me.

I rember my old computer, which was a little bit slower than yours, used to take about 6 mins per turn on a large map with all civs. Now that im running an athlon xp 2000 and 1.25 gig of ram it takes only a few seconds to play on a large map with all civs. Ive never played on a huge map yet...

are you playing the PTW expansion pack?
