Woo hoo! I just completed my C3C shield collection!

Ditto....

So I stalled out with my first war with the Greeks and did not generate any leaders. Eventually I eliminated them, then boated down to England and wiped them out. After France declared war, I was able to generate a leader and build my Forbidden Palace in the former English lands south of...

Why would you want to expand and milk? For scores and ranking purposes, you would be better off expanding and completing your VC as quickly as possible, since milking will rarely, if ever, give you the score and ranking that a fast finish will. Thanks for reminding me about the worker hunting...

@Puppeteer: So it sounds like that even though both CIV3 and CAII have admin privileges and the saves are in the standard folder, the fact that I installed CIV3 and CAII in the default locations is preventing CAII from updating between turns, even though the program can read the files? Ok, so I...

Both Civ and CAII are running as admin, CAII isn't loading the auto save files when they are created. I can load manually, which is what I am currently doing, but I'd prefer it if CAII did that.

So I've loaded the windows 7/8 version of Civ Assist II, but it is not updating after each turn (win 7 home premium). The software is configured to read from a VirtualStore location in AppData, but my auto save files are in the default location for Civ III complete, (C:\Program Files...

Single city cultural victory after having missed Shakes, Bachs, and the Theory of Evolution. Persia had two cities that could complete wonders in half a dozen turns in the Modern age, so I also missed Longevity and the Cure for Cancer, so I was surprised at the win.

Moved settler south and set up a 4-turn settler factory. Filled this island and planted a couple of towns on the island to the north which sucked up most of the barbarians and all of my gold. Switched to Map Making to rapidly get some exploring galleys out there. Galleys sent in all...

Since I have submitted my game, I won't mention anything about it but to say, "mad-bax, excellent and interesting scenario." Although I did rather poorly, I must say I enjoyed it.

Same thing happened to me as well.

1848 Spaceship Victory 3999 Jason First Deity win, so there's that. Had research on zero until the modern age. Civ Assist is not working on my win 7 laptop, so I missed some opportunities. Also the game crashed a couple of times, so that was annoying, but I think I've got those bugs...

So I'm thinking settler south with worker doing road and irrigation at the starting point. My thoughts on that are if it is a lake, then no aqueduct needed and with a canal town between the lake and the sea, I may open up a passage through. I can still get the whales with a town on the...
