No, I'm at work and it's at home on my laptop. I'm not sure how to do a screenshot anyway. It's basically just a mountaintop jutting out of the ocean with coal on it. I rushed a bunch of improvements to get it well withing my nearest cities zone but still can't get the coal. I really miss having...

I have a mountain island within the sphere of control of one of my cities with coal but I can't get the resource. I mined the coal, built a road on it, built a harbor in the city and still it's not in my resource box. This is one of those atolls that you can't build a city on. What's the trick...

I only tried the propaganda a couple of times and it was really expensive and didn't work. I know it was more than 2000. I was trying to make one of my cities that they took revert and it was just wasted gold.

Once you've built the Hoover Dam is there any productivity benefit from building Solar Power Plants?

Stunner You can just put all your cities on making money. I had a game like that and just kept hitting the next city arrow and changing them to produce gold.

Does the AI cheat in combat rolls at Regent and lower difficulty levels? I've had elite swordsmen lose to warriors on flat ground, submarines lose to wooden frigates, destroyers lose to ironclads... sometimes I've lost 2 units trying to take that last hp off a spearman. And yes I'm well aware of...

In regards to workers. I'm playing Cheifton still. Just not ready for the nonstop war from the AI I've experienced every time I try to move up to Regent. I've been putting most of my workers on auto now and I noticed they seem to change their priorities in response to your actions. Example: I...

"I would never give a city and why would you want to give away units. doesnt sound like a good move since giving away units make s you vulnerable." I'm going for a diplomatic victory. Spain voted for me in 3 of 5 UN elections and the only thing holding up the win is the Hittites. The game...

If I give another civ a city do they get the units that are in it? I can't give tanks to Spain but I was thinking I could load a city with them and give that to them. They're holding down the Azteks but don't have oil to build tanks. And if they haven't discovered tank warfare yet what happens?

(To get to this page, open the editor, click Scenarios menu, then Custom Rules, say yes to the warning, then Rules -> Edit Rules, and the Difficulty Levels tab). Where do I find the editor? I looked when you mentioned it before but I can't find any edit button. I'd like to delete my old...

"I'm new to the Civilization games and I tried playing Civilization III a few times. However, I always have zero gold and can't make any and when I get to 1000 AD I'm losing like 50 gold per turn. How do I get reliable commerce?" I had the same problem. Been playing a few weeks. I was...

:confused: I just bought the game about 3 weeks ago and can't get any income from taxes unless I go to each city and create tax collectors. Is there no way to set a general tax rate? I've been playing Chiefton and except for a couple of culture wins I always end up in a finacial crisis. I...
