Very well, if you must... Give me your email and I will send you my mailing address... :D p.s. you're a moron! (had to qualify for the position: "...someonne I dont like much..." )

On diety, it is a must to attack early. I can overlook the Roman unit because you get the 3 defence so early, but the other two are not as forgiving. You can emulate a bowman army by building archers with a few spearmen. With the japanese you said, But is it not more practical to built two...

Doesn't 2K have it under Support Tools? It's not a default install with the OS but I'm sure its there. I just couldn't get it to work right though...

Well, if you enjoy conquest like I do, you can't chose anybody else except Romans/Greeks/Persians. They make a great start which as everybody knows has a snowball effect for the rest of the game. I had to chose the Greeks because of the longevity of the Hoplite. The Persians come in second. And...

I thought 2K did away with the non-NT code? Well, I still have problems under 2K/XP (dual boot) with games... Can't play some, graphic anomalies with others, and now patch problems with civ3... But it waaaaaay outweighs 98/ME! XP = Xtra Phun :D

Only 1 happy person on emp/diety, so if I happen to get a cow/wheat square making my pop goto 2 in 7 turns, I keep my warrior at home for happiness. Besides, I think an archer/spearman is better for exploring. And I've noticed that if I get a goodie hut that gives me 3 barbs, they kill my...

Hommer, it is both of these things. I'm not certain, but I believe you are saying that UUs don't make that much of a difference. They make a huge difference, especially in the early game. Take the Hoplite as an example. It's 3 defence translates from a 4.5 spearman to a 7 Hoplite. And even with...

I just posted this to another thread but I thought it might be relevant here as well: Although I agree that saving your money is important and that it may be more beneficial to buy techs, I think if you play deity peacefully you will fall behind in military/expansion and you are dead.

WUM, I believe that leaving your settler alone is reckless. There is always a small chance that barbs may kill him, leaving you extremely behind. When you build the settler, your city should go back down to 1 so you don't need a warrior to keep them happy. Why not send him along? BURNPOODLE...

OK, although I am not usually one to give advice, I feel I must for this thread. I was horrible when I first started this game. Now, I am handling deity pretty easily (i don't mean to sound conceited, btw). Here is my strategy: 1. Choose an industrious civ if you want to get an early lead...

I don't know where you Egyptian bashers are coming from. Chariots are only 20 shield and you get them almost immediately. You can build 30 for every 20 enemy horsement. And the fact that they almost never die because of their speed makes them awesome! I took down 2 civs with them in emperor. But...

I've thought about each civ benefit and decided each has its own merits. Religious gives 2 cheap, but very important, buildings. And it gives you the ability to switch back and forth between governments. This is crucial to an attack/sue for peace strategy. Expansionist is good too. I met Zulus...
