guys of civfanatic are COOL! I didn't expect such a silly comment bring so much discussion and evolved into a maths forum:lol: I used chess as an example only, and differnent chess program used different algorithm, not just calculating ALL possibility. Calculating ALL possibility in CIV3...

i've tried the following in GOTM9 with 1.29f: 10% science rate--> become VERY backward people. Can't trade for tech since i've few cities(weak) and only have contact with Japanese. connect all luxuries-->still not enough, Japanese won't trade it for GPT(the advisor say it is an insult!)...

I think Firaxis had done a big wrong thing in the way it set difficulty. Difficulty level should be done via the power of AI, not by cheating. for example, in western/chiness chess game, stronger AI difficulty is determined by the ability to estimate more and more future turns. In Civ3, it...

i'm also having problem at higher level. The AI KNOWS all my troop position AND they seems have ATTACK/DEFENCE bonous. Also at higher level the AI get more free support for unit and a stronger production. As a result, i feel impossible to beat AI by military beyond warlord level. Tech...

i always use such technic, but gold is alway not enough when the whole world want to kill u.

in my recent game without cheating(by me) at wallord level, i used about 20 arty to bombard a city for at least 3 turns before i send in infantry and tanks. More than 20 arty is not cost effective i think. War is expensive and hard especially when AI bully u on probability, diplomacy and...

i feel reputation is useless, since those psycho AIs may join up a MMP and attack u. Therefore, even if u didn't do bad thing(in human common sense) your relation with other empires will go down..eventually concerning the gpt bug, i never experience it because i never pay gpt, but instead...

//Big problem with submarine// i've upgraded to 1.29f and continue playing with my 1.21f saved game. Then when submarine available, i made about 10. but the AIs keep killing my subs without their sub around(industrial age, no AEGIS)!

I's like to know if any change made in the AI. The diplomacy is crazy in 1.21f and before. A GRACIOUS civilization and turn into furious in a few turn for doing nothing , and the AI pay no respect to your border. In addition, all AIs like war, try to force u to drop out from democracy... Any...

i'm playing as France and at war with Aztec. Using 20~30 cavalry and 10 cannons, i managed to capture its capital. Yet, i find something very annoying. 1) the cavalry does not always retreat when losing, especially the elites. even though it lose all the way through, it fight to...

the CivMultiTool is the BUGGIEST program on my computer. I think there's something to do with the OS. I'm using Windows ME (Chinese Traditional), installed the VB5 runtime, full install version of MultiTools... BUT ALMOST NOTHING WORKS!:confused: The CopyTool: whenever i select the...

by the time i can use arty, either me or AIs would have been destroyed by bloody battle of warrior, archer, swordman and spearman!

Thanks everyone! i've give up all hope about bombardment and never play as the American again!(F-15 sucks in Civ3!it kills nothing!) Soften up enemy by bombardment? that only works if and ONLY IF bombardment success frequently.

Hello! I'm new here. I've played CIV3 at the Chieftain level for about 10 times and begin to go on the Warlord level. So far, I discoverd that the chance of successful bombardment is very low :mad: . That makes air units and other pure bombardment units useless. So, anyone knows how to...
