1) What version of the Civ3 or PTW software you were playing? v1.29 2) What Class game you were playing (Conquest, Open, or Predator)? Open 3) The type of computer CPU/Speed that you were playing? AMD Thunderbird, 850mHz 3) Your best recollection of the approximate in game date of...

The information I have seen so far in this thread is that the appearance of cheating occurred over several games, the player was notified of the patterns in question, she was asked to explain some of the patterns, she was warned to change her behavior, and she could not or would not change. This...

Lack of experience is a big part of it. My playing style tends to be a bit timid. I am more interested in seeing how well I can develop my society and wait too long before attacking. Usually, I wind up being attacked first. It's not uncommon for me to be massing troops on one border when I get...

I got a coworker interested in CivIII just two weeks before I was laid off (due to corporate downsizing). He and I will occasionally get together and discuss CivIII among other things.

About 95% of my gaming this year is CivIII. Before that, I was playing Age of Empires or Railroad Tycoon II. Older computer favorites include the TalonSoft series, SimEarth, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Nobunaga's Ambition, Wizardry, and Empire. Board games: Go, Mayfair Games' Empire...

I think the corruption in DC is a little higher than in LA.

I work as an IT/Network Support Technician with the Jefferson County Commission. My interest in strategy games derives from an early interest in history and politics. When I was five ('56) I was asking about the possible consequences of de-Stalinization in the Soviet Union. Alas, no one took my...

I also worked out the probabilities for dice rolls as a kid. This led me to wonder whether the same results could be achieved with a different set of pips on the dice. The answer is yes and the dice would be marked as follows: 1st die = 1,2,2,3,3,4 2nd die = 1,3,4,5,6,8 I remarked a pair...

[B] I forgot to mention that I blocked the Keltic bridge in 2390BC. Then I made a bad assumption about the shape of the landmass. I did not block the English bridge until 1475BC. Fortunately, they did not send any settlers across it. Both France & England delivered settlers via galley...

I haven't seen anyone comment on how right the pixel readers were! I was lol when I saw the incense and wheat. I chose to move the chests S, NE & W before moving the settlers with both workers building a road in the start position. I set up Madrid S and Barcelona NE. I used my first chest to...

Thank you to everyone who participated in this thread. I just turned in my QSC submission for GOTM20. I achieved better trades as a result of your posts than in any previous game I've played. :) I especially want to thank Moonsinger for caring enough to start this thread. You are terrific...

If this is the case, do you avoid signing RoP? If yes, are you active about ordering units out of your territory? I'm asking because this is my first game at this level. runifoc
