I don't know the army denomination but here is a short list that I can remember of the air force: F = Fighter i.e. F-16 B = Bomber i.e. B-52 A = Attack i.e. A-10 (=air force) E = Electronic war fare UH = utility helicopter, this used to be HU but changed during the vietnam war, however this...

rrau, I have written an tool that transfers autosav files automatically to a designated backup folder. I use this tool when playing the cotms. However you need VB.net to properly run it. If you don't have VB.net, tell me which excell-version you have. I can propably create the same...

thx to everybody for their replies and encouragement. I spend the entire day reflecting on how I tend to play CIV3 and figured out that my current playstyle is to monotome (almost always Greeks, always huge map, always builder strategy...) and that I need to learn A LOT of playing CIV3...

I have some remarks concerning the difficulty levels of the COTM. COTM01: regent level COTM02: monarch level COTM03: demigod level So I predict that COTM04 will be at least on deity level. Perhaps that for the experienced players on this forum, this is a fun challenge, but for a regent...

Chieftess, I hope you meant 'postponing' and not 'cancelling', because cancelling the elections is the equivalent of a republican coup d'état. And then America we no longer be a democracy but a dictatorship. Why does this administration wants to postpone elections in case of a terrorist...

hmm, what would be my agenda if I stole an election, got away with an illegal war and all my countrymen are still stupid enough to vote for me? @ take away more of their civil liberties (why not start with the right to vote, clearly they are too stupid to use it wisely) @ I would need more...

Some semantics: What is good? Imagine that we would be holding this discussion in 1940. Any good German would concur on your point that indeed their is good reason for their agressive, intrusive, invasion of Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France etc. What if some other nation decides (let's...

CenturionV, maybe I did not state my point clear enough. Let me explain it by using the quote in your posting: "The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one. " (Hitler) I don't want to compare Bush with Hitler but just answer me whether...

CenturionV this is the wrong question. Correct question should be: "Should a war versus and evil lawless tyrant be considered the 'right thing to do', based on falsified reports of WMD, just so that a president, elected in questionable circumstances, can fill the pockects of his rich budies...

No this is not a wrong post! I developped a utility in VB.Net but some technical issues with VB & Windows XP I can prepare the utility for mass distribution. But first things first: what utility am I talking about? Problem: when you enable the autosave function, CIV3 store every turn a...

I just finished my second COTM game. I don't claim to be the best player (heck in both COTM games the AI gave me a sound beating) but here are some of the lessons I learned while playing. @ know your tribe: each tribe has his advantages and weaknesses @ read every strategy article on this...

I would like firaxis to add an advanced history log to civ4. The log should contain at least these items: list with all message that appeared in the game evolution of your treasury techs you developped (with year of discovery) year when you build special wonders ... The purpose is...

The main purpose of the tool is to facilitate writing stories about a game. The general concept is, that the user can select standard phrases (i.e. Our sciencitists discovered masonry) and add own phrases (i.e. discovered dyes near washington). In order to get general information about...

Function ListCivs() 'description: list all the different civilizations based on 'the civilopedia Dim iList As New ArrayList Dim filenum As Integer = FreeFile() Dim templine As String Dim searchstr As String FileOpen(filenum, CivStr...

I am thinking of writting a tool for Civ3 C3C. The tool should enable the user to keep a history-book of his game (style 1100 AD attacked greek phalanx, captured Athens...) The user would click on preset events which would add the appropriate text to the history book. I am analysing all...
