I had found a great resource on another Civ site and thought I'd post it here for reference if anyone could find it useful. It's regarding the AI and has a myriad of settings. https://apolyton.net/articles/civilization-news/ctp1/modification-ab/9312887-ctp-modification-aip-comments

Just a thought, but have you tried running in compatibility mode for XP? You could also install the Fleet Operations 3.2.7 mod which is a completely new Star Trek mod which also allows you to play other mods inside it. Including the original Armada 2? I don't know if we're allowed to post links...

I'm glad someone took an interest. I'll start by stating I could have mislead in Civ 3 using the same engine as the Star Trek Armada games. I should have said parts of the engine and/or file structures were used/modified for each subsequent game. From what I've found the engine started with a...

Greetings all. Longtime Civ 5 player here, but never registered. I mod another game called Star Trek Armada 2 and have some questions regarding the AI. I know that sounds odd, but the game engine used in Civ 3 was also used in Battlezone, Dark Reign and Start Trek Armada 1 and 2 and has a lot of...

Forgive my ignorance, and I have seen this mentioned before without explanation, but I don't get the concept that building your first settler stagnates your growth? How? How does your city recover?

My problem is trying to do too much I think. I'm trying to scout the entire map first and build so many wonders, and build most buildings in each city and so on all at once. I prefer the 3-4 city tradition, tall empire route. Just so I understand is getting your population as high as...

So with the help of others regarding using great people for great works and such I have some more questions. I play for fun first of all, but yes I'm looking to learn how to play better and I've been pouring over the threads here for quite some time. I play on Prince, but tried a mod by ptr1ck...

This is very helpful. Thanks everyone. I've been hanging on to GW's waiting to get a new building to house them. Another question as I learn all the game mechanics (I usually just play for fun,) should I be building these same buildings in all my cities and putting GW's etc. in all those...

Thanks for the info. Continuing on this, If I have a Great Writer or whatnot laying around with no building to put them in yet should I save them for that or just write the treatise to get the social policy? Do you fellow players save them up as a standard practice until such time you can use them?

Greetings all. Been lurking for years and just signed up recently. I had a question regarding Great People. If I have a Great Writer is it better to use them to produce a great work to put in a building for future tourism/culture or to write a treatise and get the culture amount needed to get me...
