    Dropping the Nukes - Ethics or strategy?

    Let me rephrase that... I should've said, "Cost several turns of production to rebuild a shattered Modern Armor army." :P

    Quick Question: Upgrading Units

    Want a lend? I've got 60 K. :P

    The Mayans

    Thanks rcoutme, that was very informative. Shame I had no resources other than horses to fight with though, so they creamed me with a knight rush before I was even able to mount a decent defence. D: Ah well, trying a different civilization this time... :P

    Racism or Over-Political Correctness?

    Whoops, peg it down to my misreading of the topic. That usually happens when you're tired after playing a marathon game of Call of Duty... :P Either one would be acceptable really, I suppose most people just feel compelled to add the "black" into the story for shock value or something...

    Post what YOU would do! (REGENT)

    I'd just like to direct you to this: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3acad_builders_dream.shtml That's OCS (Optimal City Placement): There's two others: ICS (Infinite City Sprawl): Placing cities in patterns like city-tile-city or city-tile-tile-city to literally create a sprawling...

    Limit Military Size

    I think just throwing it on a budget slider would be the optimal method; but with basic support issues. Have it so you delegate it in the usual method (Eg. Science at say, 40% of taxes, Entertainment at 10% and the Military at 30%) in the Domestic window. Basically, all governments would have...

    Empire Govt Problems

    Heh, I'd be careful about my advice. I'm only newbie-ish to the game myself; but reading as much as you can is especially helpful; but thanks for showing the appreciation anyways. *Bows as hook comes off stage and yanks me off centre stage.*

    Racism or Over-Political Correctness?

    Depends on the friend. Depends on how you treat your friends too. Of course, I'd be hypocritical if I criticized Benderino for calling a negro-person "black", because I've been in a similar situation. Fortunately, some "white" police were around to stop me from getting mugged. (For $10 no less...

    USAF ploy to get more funding

    So it's not just me wondering that? I would've thought equal numbers would've been a better indicator.

    [Difficulty Levels] Which is the one with equal footing?

    They're obnoxious enough as is. Changing them to Swordsment and Keshiks is like grinding your teeth on the sidewalk whilst having people park cars on your head. :P

    Tips on fighting a defensive war?

    Perhaps some aircraft to do some pre-emptive strikes on thier transport equipment? See if you can sink a few before they get close; but chances are they're going to have a hell of a lot of AA so you probably won't be able to get them en route. Just a thought.

    WHY cant I see my friends HOSTED game on my LAN?

    I seriously doubt that you'll need the ports open, because that's mainly GSA and browser-related stuff. Are you just automatically recieving a delegated IP from the router, or have you set it so it gives out an IP automatically? Try switching one of those on, or vice versa. Failing that, open...

    [City Placement] Any advantage in placing cities closer to each other?

    Funny you should mention that. I'm playing as a Monarchy in the game; (for shame :P) and each of my cities has about three spearmen each. I've just moved overseas and I've got an archipelago that I can expand out onto (going to beat the Yanks before they can get it...) so I'm going to see if I...

    Empire Govt Problems

    From what I've read, you've got to keep things in a human scale. I think that's what you're thinking of. A huge normally generated map of the world would probably be all the continents of this world; and each city would be something like a major city of a state in the USA. With your map, it...

    [City Placement] Any advantage in placing cities closer to each other?

    With Maya, it's open season on Settler making. ;) But that's an interesting way of doing it. I'll give that a shot. At the moment, I'm playing a second game at the same time with the French and ICS again. (Same map type as well.) The reason I also asked was because I had a lot of Grassland (an...
