I love the Mesoamerica Conuest, I really do. But all those jungle, and the graphics of this Conquest as a whole, really hurts my eyes. I don't know why, but it can get in the way of enjoying the game. I have this same problem with Alpha Centauri... Anyway, can someone recommend a good graphics...

s The Republic worth it on Emperor+ difficulty? Does the trade bonus compensate for 2 gold/unit? I know that to fully exploit The Republic one must already have cities and the infrastructure in place, but building stuff in Despotism is masochistic at best and suicidal at worst, given the...

Salamandre, build trapper camps like crazy in the early game, that's where you get the gold to buy techs. But you can research Banking in the early game and trade it to the other civs to get gold flow and the other starting techs. Note, I finished in 71 turns because I built settlers and...

Age of Discovery is the best Conquest, I think. But I found it too easy, actually. In one sitting, 9 hours straight, I won as the Dutch in Deity, in 71 turns only. Has anyone done it faster? And the AI of the American civ sucks!

Commercial cities and metros in mods such as DyP and Balancer produce more gold. How can modders do that? I thought the Civ traits are hardcoded(I think?) and not changeable.

Is there any way in the present editor to simulate a population boom, without using special resources that produce plenty of food? If you build two or three different improvements that essentially has the same effect of a granary, are their effects cumulative?

I might just start a SMAC mod project, but I can only probably start it January or February next year. I'll have to see what the Conquests editor can do, and of course play the Conquests scenarios!

Has anyone ever tried to make a mod based on Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire games? I've tried to make such a mod but only as a casual or recreational activity, knowing that the present editor can't capture the essence of the game. But with the Conquests editor, who knows what...

SirPleb, how do you think the new Science Great Leaders in Conquests will affect Leader farming? Aside from the fact that Germans become very good at it...

Where can I find new icons for the technologies?

The resource icons look as if they have been drawn on the screen, and look like they don't belong.

Can anyone tell me if there is an alternative graphics set that can be used with this mod? The mod is great but the graphics are just....ugly.

Can anyone tell me if anyone has tried to war on the other European civs from the very beginning? Is it possible? And for anyone playing this mod, I suggest reading James Clavell's novels.

To the King of Kings: Thank you for creating the best Civ3 mod ever, and for reviving the interest of a cynical and jaded player, so much so that I don't mind waiting 3-5 minutes between turns on my Pentium II 500 mHz PC. I'm looking forward to v2.0, especially the map for the turtle pcs...

How can you start the TETurkhan Mod(World Map & Cities) in the Middle Age?
