Zorba, of course.

Looking for someone to shed a little light. Post patch I have been getting my ass handed to me on Regent level. Previously I did very well on Monarch and even played a bit of Emperor. What changes to playing style are needed PP (post patch) to be successful. I haven't enough time to play as it...

I bought the LE here in Taiwan, complete with a frickin Chinese manual. Boo Hiss. Truthfully, I didn't even notice it was the LE -it was the only copy they had. I saw Civ III, recalled nearly failing out of college playing the original, and started fumbling for my wallet. Costs 38 US dollars...

I would rank Korea, Israel,Taiwan and other 'hotspots' disproportionately high due to their ability to shape opinion and action throughout the world. Taiwan, is able to draw a full US carrier group to its defense when China gets feisty with missle tests. America is certainly not doing this...

In the active window, if you can click it and erview the deal, it means it has already passed 20 turns and is now eligible for renegotiation. Other wise it will have a small number in parentheses indicating how many turns are left. Deals do not automatically expire after 20 turns...

Though it seems illogical, it does happen in real life with astounding frequency. Further, that same...

After having read, in threads too numerous to count, how Civ III's AI cheats,steals or is juts generally dumb, I was wondering just what other game AIs people have played against that they would consider better and why? Forgive my grammar My $.02 - Civ III's Ai is a great leap...

Oops. Popped up in the wrong place. Referring to an earlier post. Apparently I can't spell too well either.

It's from the movie Taxi Drivere for god's sakes. Y'all need to up your culture ratings

I find it is usually cheaper just to buy/trade for the damn thing. Just my .02.
