Just installed the patch. When great people are born to cities owned by leaders I know, the chat log says "Michaelangelo has been born in U (R)!" instead of Uppsala and Ragnar. Is there any way to fix this?

I have to say this is the most interesting game I've ever followed. The intricate and delicate politics made for a game far more entertaining than a game won with axemen in 1 AD. I also must say I appreciate and admire that you are the only one saying anything interesting about the problems with...

sweet jesus L-O-L, do they still educate kids beyond grade 2 these days?

then where's india? frankly your "reason" sounds ridiculous to me

Has anyone ever thought Praetorians and Immortals were added for the less experienced civ player? These units and civilizations can get a new player used to the game or an intermediate player get used to a new difficulty level. They are also there for just having fun. If you hate these...

thanks for all your helpful advice buddy

Civilization is turned based, Warcraft isn't. I can't see any way you could make a turn based MMO, and a Civ without turns just wouldn't be Civ. I don't think a Civ MMO is a good idea. The market has already been cornered by WOW, and unless Civ comes up with something radically different, no one...

I doubt any religious subgroup would be pleased with being labelled as "militant," not to mention this characteristic is incompatible with a belief system like Buddhism.

If you hadn't noticed, Istanbul is also right on top of an iron tile. If Mehmed doesn't build a wonder there before you get to him, I'd say it's a definite raze.

The reasons why people don't play certain leaders astounds me. I remember reading a thread where a whole slew of people (men I assume) said they had never played as Elizabeth or Catherine (in Vanilla two of the best leaders) nor any other of the female leaders because they didn't like being...

Killing Montezuma was a good idea; if you were alone on the continent with him, he wouldn't have traded with you anyway because the AI must know at least you and another civ before it will trade techs. Likely he would have attacked you if you had left him alone. Without trade, there aren't a lot...

Am I crazy or did I click on Civ3 General Discussions by accident?

So Firaxis should make its largest market, the single players, manually edit the game once they purchase it so it is "suitable" to play? That sounds rather ridiculous. Who would be willing to buy a game that makes you do tedious modifications before you can even play it? Might as well drop the...

Castille, Aragon, etc. are all considered to be the precursors to modern Spain, and thus are collectively referred to as "Spain" today, whether or not they were "officially" united at the time. The same idea arises with the idea of Greece in the game, which was never a united independant entity...

When is this troll going to be banned? Wake up, moderators.
