    Is there anyway to intercept enemy bombers?

    Yes, it's well documented that the superiority is buggered. Not sure about the SAM Missile Defence though as I have not needed to use it yet. The Integrated Defence does work though and is really cool when the red laser beam come out of space and destroys an incoming ICBM! For now though it's...

    Bug / Feature List

    I don't think I have seen this on here but apologies if it is. Probably not a bug just a bit I don't understand. After building my first subs last night and popping them inside some Zulu territory, I very quickly got the 'move your forces' dialogue from Shaka. Is it only enemy ships that...

    >Hi all > >How do you load a nuclear missile into a submarine? > >Thanks ...same as you would for a unit into a transport. Have the sub in a coastal square and simply move the unit over land and then load on the sub. Cheers Matt

    Trading Tips

    I feel a bit cheeky putting tips on here when there are so many experienced Civ players but I guess we are all back to the same level on Civ III so why not. These are just some things which I sure some are doign and some are not that I found really useful: Build the Lighthouse and be the...

    The Bisquit Tin Coalition - A campaign for Civ III LE

    I am in Portsmouth UK (God - how many times have I posted this over the last few days!) and I got the LE on Thursday last week! I don't suppose Infogrammes will be happy with Gamestop but hey...I don't care!

    Yes it is Sanitation but you need Medicine to get to that...I think!

    Army

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I have used the army by doing the following: You need to have the units you want to 'load' into the army stationed in the same city as the leader. Activate the leader and then the units. When you activate the unit there will be a 'load' button at...

    I want confirmation!!!

    As I posted before Gamestop will ship to Europe (including the UK) as I have now had it since Thursday. Do be aware though that the freight they charge you is only to get it out of the States and the courier will charge you extra when they deliver it - it was an extra £22 for me on top of the...

    No iron makes the game very very difficult

    Having played a few games now and feeling the effects with tiredness(!), you can guarantee that of the real key resources - coal, iron and oil (and later aluminium and uranium) the chances of you having more than one on your standard land is highly unlikely. However it does force you into either...

    No iron makes the game very very difficult

    Absolutely - it makes the game so much better. My first game was very peaceful until around 1700 with Russians on one side of me and Germans the other on a large continent. I had done without coal for ages but soon realised that I should be able to build railroads an couldn't due to the...

    Got It!!!

    Just arrived in Portsmouth, UK so I am off to play for a while. This was 2 days from Gamestop.com. Be careful though if you do order from them. I bought the Collectors Edition. The freight you pay Gamestop though seems to be only to get it out of the States. I had to pay another £22 here to...

    UK Release date.

    I ordered the Collectors edition yesterday at Gamestop and it's on it's way already to the UK. EB and Amazon couldn't ship to the UK but these guys seem to be able to and have offered a really quick service every time I have bought from them. Hopefully I will have it tommorow ready for a...
