thanks for the entertainment guys:goodjob: this has been quite the civ, many clever stragegies that i will be sure to implement next time im faced with a land hungry AI. anyhow i just wanted to wish you all good luck with the mop up but i dont think you'll need it as its looks like joe...

the patch was supposed to fix the "barbarian" settler/worker issue

this is not a bug, everything seems to work fine for me post patch. but i do feel that you guys should reconsider the whole plant a forest chop it down thing. surely its better to farm plantations than it is to cut down old growth forests:rolleyes: at least thats what they keep telling us;)...

you can fix it yourself. goto the Creation & Customization section of this forum. then goto the Save Game Maps section. the second thread (it should always be second as it has been "topped " by the administrator) is called "How to play on earth map with all correct locations in 30sec" by...

industrious and commercial. only because of the flexability they allow. with these i can concentrate on peace or war as i see fit. the way i see it production builds units and improvements (not to mention wonders) and money pays for my army and scientific research. this IMHO gives the best of...

whoa, dont get me wrong i think its great that not every starting point gets everything they need i never said that there was no iron, just that i couldn't reach it. its a fine history lesson to see what happens to a civ once a new tech is not only discovered but utilised. (i think i was most...

i know what you mean sam, but now i let them and go crazy with culture, usually they end up mine. the only problem is they dont place them where i would most of the time. and if that fails its time to send in the boys.:D

ok heres what happened, its my first game (french, 8 civs, huge world map, regent) after years of smashing all opposition from the map (in civ, civ2, ctp, etc) i felt like taking advantage of the new victory paths available in civ3. so first i tried for a cultural victory, it didn't take long to...

im only playing my first game but it seems that only some of the lesser wonders were triggered during it, is this dependant on the civ you are or actions you take during the game. for example im the french so i got forbidden palace but not the heroic epic or iron works. BTW sorry if this has...

I think the french will get my vote, a little slow early but in a modern civ industry and commerce really kicks but.:frog:
