Thanks all, At least it wasn't me just a bug in the system!!!!!!!!!! Shame I am now in 2037 and a bit pigged off. But who cares!!!!!!!!! time to start again. Catch y'all later;)

I suppose this ought to teach me, going away from Civ for six months, but anyway am back now and nice to see things have got better. Need some help.... Am playing Test of Time Extended version. Due to a bit of rustyness I inadvertantly let the Spanish land their ship first on Centaurus...

I have a confession to make!!!!!! I owned a copy of Civ for 5 years without playing it. I didn't even open the box. Some time later I moved In with a mate who showed me the game. Instant addiction! We had to set up a rota for who got access to the computer. Saturday mornings were the...

Gentlemen, civkies and dodgy Brazilians, I am a little bemused as to why someone should spend any amount of time trying to build a HOF score on a custom map that had no "enemies" in the game. I am currently playing a Custom HOF game and am thoroughly enjoying having to compete with two other...

Like it lots. Count me in on the game when it starts. Jules

Ok I read what has been said above, BUT is it proven? If in 1800(any year will do) you did this and you wiped out all other Civ's would the game end. Yours in Civ

Just a thought but could Barbarians be useful. If you let them capture a city and let them keep it, would you be able to destroy all the remaining civilisations and thus ensure that you get your 3 points per turn guaranteed for keeping peace, when you are amassing points scoring. To stop the...

Oryx, I managed to cultivate an 87 by sending two food caravans per turn to the city. You must send two as the first fills the granary to the point where the hunger balue is...ie if a city has -3 hunger it fills the granary to -3 and the second caravan/freight fills the granary up, thus...

Just finished an emperor game with a the ripe city of Grovelands being rated size 87 Is this a record?

My personal opinion is Masonry, As at the higher levels I need to expand and grow to counter the computer advantage so Pyramids are my main goal.

Per, I find the use of spies, extremely profitable. I use exactly the same wonders. I also insist on Hoover Dam and womens Suffrage. I wish i could destroy Civs early but prefer to blast through with Armor, Howitzer. Am just back to Civ, expect big Emperor Deity scores to follow. Last King...

Civ3??????????? I am a drunken ignaramus but I thought Civ 3 was alpha centauri. Enlighten me oh thundefall and do you accept my reply?? Jules

Nephi, Easy thing is to say is move up when yoou want to! I would seriously say play a large game at Prince then move up immediately to king. Win or lose King is a tester of a good player. If you struggle or need help mail me. I now a few legitimate short cuts. Move upto join the big...

Settlers are wonderful, not only can you take unoccupied cities but you can make them as NON? Ask questions later on the main site for NON?

Smash, It was a dark and stormy night. I was under the influence of pretending to be a civ god, and my ship returned circa 2310. Try it if your sad enough. high scores 255 cities normally 10000+ score % ???
