Thanks for you help. It looks like I can't kill off the cultural flips from the games. That screenshot must be from a different edition; I have vanilla. If cities depose in the first half of the game, I figure it is deserved. But it is annoying late in the game when you take over a city...

Where is that option? The only things I can find are under RULES, and these only allow or disallow victory conditions.

Is there a way to not allow this to occur? By that, I mean a game override or setting. I thought I had read there was, but can't seem to find it. Thanks for your help.

The Americans jointly declared war on me along with the Russians. It all started, however, with the Aztecs, which is the biggest puzzler of them all since they were no where near me. The English fronted an assault 6-8 turns after the Aztecs finally reached me to begin their battle (I didn't...

I'm playing on either the second or third easiest level as the Iroquois in standard sized Vanilla. I'm guessing that around 500 BC or so, I started a war against the Americans because they created many new settlements in between my cities, twice when they had only two squares of land (no...

I know there's one that lists what becomes available with each learned technology because I've seen it before. It covers both military and non-military advances. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I'm sure these is super simple, but here they are anyway. I bet there are threads for both of these already; I can't find the answers to these, though... What the heck is the deal with the catapult? I can't figure out when or why it works or doesn't. Also, is the limit of resources...

Thanks for advice about finding the manual on the disk. I also found it on the internet, but, uh, printing a 200+ pdf file is a bit much. :) I was able to figure out a few things, so I can at least play now. This obviously has a steep learning curve; I really have no idea what I'm doing...

Is there a thread somewhere that is essentially "Getting Started--for dummies" ? I've never played any of the Civ games. I just got a used Civ III version and am not sure if there is supposed to be a manual of any kind or not; I don't have one, at any rate. I don't understand how to get...
