    Did corruption increase again after 1.29f?

    Civ3 Title Screens

    Thanks, Love the prehistoric one. Is there any way to get it to fill the screen for those of us who run the game in higher resolutions?

    Starting near water = Evil

    Search yields too many results on palace flips. Can someone offer a quick definition?

    Starting near water = Evil

    Sorry, forgot the term "OCN" actually had a more specific meaning here. I meant distance corruption, which plays a huge factor.

    Call me a newbie, but I need a link/description of the palace flip.

    Starting near water = Evil

    Starting near water = Evil

    I'm not certain I understand why anyone would want to start near water. Unfortunately, the corruption system makes tile distance from the capital the focus of corruption. Thus, having your capital on the edge of an ocean efficiently cuts your optimal cities down by half. Why would anyone want...

    ****, I've always had "preserve random seed" enabled. I hope the people who tried out the sine wave testing did as well; you clearly won't get the same results if you don't. Im a bit happier with it disabled, since if a bs roll rolls out, I can reload and not have to lose my tank to a spearman.
