I only have the original civ 3, so i haven't tried the agricultural trait, for instance, which sounds amazing. In original civ 3 though, i like industrious trait the best, followed by religious and scientific, then militaristic. UU is also important, and my favourite civ is thus Persia. The...

Open, Civ 3 After invading germany with Knights, and the rest of the continent except for ottomans and minoans with cavalry, it was time for the final push towards domination victory. I had first planned to take ottomans and minoans with tanks, but i decided otherwise. I still built tanks...

Cavalry has a long period of domination? Thats a new one.. its only dominant until riflemen, which is probably only a couple of techs, if any at all. What makes it so good is its ability to completely demolish a(or even several) medival empire(s) in those few turns it is dominant.

Ok, thanx everyone.. i'll just try. I do hope happiness has an impact, cause most of my cities have ALL happy citizens :D
