As my first game of the month its really interesting to see so many different strategies and styles of play. Looking at the maps I see a variety of choices for city locations.. What will be really interesting is what people choose to do during the Middle Ages though since up until now it is all...

SirPleb you once again astound me with your knowledge and ability to play this game. I am an utter newb. =P

Well I'm actually fairly out of Ancient Age at 30 BC. I only have a few turns to Monotheism so I'd estimate I've been in Middle Ages atleast 15 turns by the last screenshot. I think my plan is domination victory. I don't think I can win a cultural victory because we are on such a small land mass...

This is my first COTM game and my first game on Monarchy because I just started playing, but let me know what you think. I've been playing kind of slow to make sure I don't do anything wrong.. (this is on the easy mode) Opening moves were to move settler SE and settle Amsterdam where I could...

The AI doesn't make use of a LOT of the features of the game. for example, artillery, effective milking (mas roads/mines/railroad), etc etc. They AI gets to make up for it with huge bonuses to production and what not.

I dont' consider it an exploit at all. There is a risk vs reward. You could go 1 space out and sink your 15 or so shields (or however much they cost). I say use it.

I just made a map with the conquest editor but now I don't know how to play it... help would be appreciated. =)

A variety of flow charts would be nice.. they could also have flow charts per city.. so you can see how quickly production, population, commerce, pollution, culture, etc grew per city or as a whole..

I think it would be interesting if Religion was like government is now. You would have to decide what the best combination of State Religion and Govt. to use (the # of each would produce a great number of combos and each with a variety of effects). Implementing a religion should effect culture...

oh nevermind, I didn't notice the bonus grassland to the south east. =)

random fan, I'm new and could be mistaken, but I thought the southern whale is not workable even with a max cultural boundary because it is 2 tiles due south and your citizens can't go that far?

lot of good ideas. I don't think the worker should cost money. That goes into the food for city / happiness factor. Plus, depending on the rule situation - depostism, democracy, you may or may not have for-pay laborers. I like it how it is currently personally. I think canals would be an...

unbelievable. =P Good job charis!

Ordered from Amazon.com and got the Original Civ3 for 10$ and Conquests for 20$. =)

I owned the game before but had to throw it away so I could focus on college because I got too addicted. Well I'm going to go buy it again today. I know the game and expansions are all in seperate boxes (and sometimes in bundles), so which ones should I buy to have everything up to conquests...
