I am thinking that I will strike at them and take the gems once I get death robots backed by nukes. They'll have to listen then.

Heh. I was a couple turns ahead of you, but I was still negative on money [albeit with a slightly larger military and less science]. I took your turn as it was far superior. The land was also developed differently. thank you for your help! The game is definitely winnable. Here's the current...

Thank you so much! I will definitely try that. I've been reading the rest of the forum and figuring out how it works. I am missing the civ3 theory of 'railroad all the things!'. Can you please post your latest save? I would love to compare how it fares to my land accomplishments.

Thank you so much everyone! It seems that you can't spam cities as civ3... and can't spam roads :/. So, just one more question, is this game winnable at all?

Took screenshots if that helps at all! Please comment on what I can improve/how to win the game! Map Overview Capital Economy Overview

I used to be a huge player of Civ3, and recently decided to try Civ5 [as it was on sale]. I jumped in, chose a small map, catherina [cossacks are awesome, and they come at a perfect time in my settle everything, build barracks, build horsemen, up them all, conquer everything], and started...

See, but I get bored of clicking 'B' for 100planes every turn. So muc heasier to click "B" once in a tactical nuke :)

Privateers are 2/1. Frigates are 2/2 and move more. They cost the same... Frigates for 8000 years of war! :D

Nuke 'em before they nuke you. Let the best man win. That's what I do. (seeing as in the last game I got nukes before they did :lol:) In all honesty, you can either fight them without nukes, have a nuke war or a peace victory.

Wow, thank you everyone for your replies! :) As for the game, I followed all of the advice, and it lead me to great victories. Except for the wonders :(. I remember I had a problem with that. I just cannot resist the Theory Of Evolution which always hands me the Hoover Dam :D. I don't have much...

I used to play Civ3 about 2 years ago. Now I couldn't resist and reinstalled Civ3. I used to beat Monarch quite easily, so I went with the level below it. However, after 50 minutes of the game I am about to get owned. I am stuck between 3 civilizations without Iron OR horses. Now, I got about 5...

Is it sarcasm I detect ;) ? You want to try it? Its impossible, I tell you!

They are across an ocean, and I just have galleons! Those galleons will get hammered by their bombers, cruisers, battleruisers, destroyers and subs!

After discovering refining I realized that ALL 4 SOURCES OF OIL HAVE BEEN ALREADY EXOUSTED! So, umm, no tanks/planes/navy. No water/air forces at all. :mad: So there is some learning experience. I learned to fight while being out gunned. In the end however, I saw that they only have ONE...

Look at my capital tho! :D Nice one! But don't I get more points if all my tiles are good? Should I have placed the citys better? Or are they fine as they are now?
