    Poll: Which Civ will you play first game as?

    I picked Egyptians. I thought Spiritual would be more important with more things to trigger revolutions. Little did I know how short anarchy is in a regular game. Also, I wasn't able to press the war chariot advantage as much in previous games. Still, dispite using a little Civ3...

    Idea: Include a 'Holy Land'

    I've always considered whatever city has the Sistine Chapel to be my "holy land" that we must take from/ protect from the infidels.

    Deal breakers

    It's well hidden. Click on the leader, on the bottom there's text that says "active", click on it, then you'll see a list of all your active deals, then click on the one you want to end.

    how do *you* use the Demographics page?

    What I use it for is the top five cities. I'm not 100% sure of this, but they are ranked by total culture. So, if you're worried about your enemy getting a single city culture victory, you can spy on the number 1 city and see if he is in striking range of 20,000. Rarely happens, but it gives...

    missing iron

    This is a longshot, but are you exporting that iron resource to another civ? It is possible to export your only one of a resource, thereby depriving yourself of it.

    lost tech lead, something ain't right

    Actually, I just remembered that they changed the costs of some techs between 1.17 and 1.21. Check out the sticky thread: Patch 1.21f civ3mod.bic changes from 1.17 and see if the techs that you guys experienced this wierdness with were among the techs they did a price change on...

    War and happiness

    Possibly, you were getting luxuries from them, and the war stopped shipment of these luxuries. woops, should read a post before I reply to it. :) If you're getting more HAPPY people, possibly you were shipping them a luxury that you had 2 of, lost one of these luxuries such that now you...

    lost tech lead, something ain't right

    One thing you have to keep in mind -- Once you discover a Tech, it becomes cheeper for all other civs to reaserch it. For example, (and if I remeber the formula correctly): If a tech costs 40, and there are 8 civs, after the first civ discovers it, it costs 7/8th the original cost or 35...

    If they are so happy, why is she sad?

    Or maybe the Military advisor told him, "All they have is five tanks, and we have ten -- count them ten -- spearmen, they don't stand his chance!" And he just got done laughing his @ss off.;)

    i'm dying to know...

    There was a thread about the teleporting galley phenominon. Basically, what happens is that if a galley is in enemy territory, and the enemy asks you to leave, and you leave with the <your unit will be moved automatically function> sometimes the galley can end up halfway around the world...

    How can you speed the game up? Not fun anymore.

    If you're playing with the 1.21f patch, you might turn off auto-saving (assuming your game doesn't crash often) The auto-compression takes up a lot of time for some people. There is also the option of playing on a smaller map... not as much fun, but you won't have the delay between turns

    Civ3 GOTM #6 *Spoilers* Thread

    It can happen if you find the enemy early, while there are still islands unsettled. Also, a player "milking" the game will conquor up to the domination limit and then raze all but one enemy city, and then proceed to max out his exsisting cities. the player might then choose to win the game by...

    A CivIII Story! Very funny :)

    Agree with all of this, you also might try playing one game at the lowest difficulty setting, to get used to all the changes. Then see if you still hate the game and wish to expunge it from the Earth. :ripper: :rocket2: :viking: Or well... at least from your hard drive...

    A CivIII Story! Very funny :)

    Now the true value of Civ3 is clear! Yeah, honey, I'll wash the dishes, right after I defeat the evil Romans... You know how you're always saying I need more goals in life... :)

    A CivIII Story! Very funny :)

    Unrealistic? Two guys with clubs kill one guy with a spear... Seems plausable to me. I think the word you were looking for is unfortunate.
