    Looking for some criticism

    Looked at that save, the situation is not bad at all. You have effective tech advantage versus the Maya, they use Musketeers and Crusaders that can be dispatched by Cavalry. I have several suggestions that can be done ASAP 1: Switch production of all cities to Cavalry- Rifles aren't worth it as...

    Disappearing Artillery

    I used stack move command icon on lower right of the screen while an arty unit was selected. *The game is C3C base game, no mods *The stack was ordered to move 2 tiles, from a razed city to another city in order to attack. The whole thing happened overseas entirely on enemy territory...

    Disappearing Artillery

    I had a case when I ordered a stack that is composed of artillery and other units (all fast units-Tanks, cavs, armies) to automove towards it's target. On one of the turns it disappeared from the map and on AI's turn it reappeared on it's previous location and was destroyed. This forced me to...

    This affect AI attitude, it's written in war academy/game mechanics/AI attitude explained. It doesn't affect AI government choise and your settings doesn't matter, only AI's settings. It's written there that If both you and AI are in AI's favorite government you get attitude boost. If you are...

    Worst Civ?

    The save file is attached I played VERY carelessly but still even with that strat it's harder then almost any other civ choice.

    Worst Civ?

    They got a lot of flak for a good reason. Now playing them on Pangaea (thanks RNG...) and not seeing the fun. I'd tried to pull ahead in tech (Monarch difficulty) and the result was the worst of any civ I remember. I had to make strange plans to get GA like wasting SGL to build Magellans voyage...

    Most fun war map

    That question is complicated and depends on what kind of fight do you want to have, I have some suggestions assuming you like WWII or WWIII style fights: 1) Continents 60%, 7-9 AI. In this setting each continent is large enough to make it harder to unify for anyone. The continents have wide and...

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    Thanks for the advice, it worked. AC armies removed all enemy Cavs and the main stack was baited long enough to whittle it down with cannons and cav army. Strangely any injured rifle took another unit with it to it's long trek home :) . When they attacked a core city they had only half the...

    After not playing for too long I had apparently lost my touch and got into sticky situation Map: Standard Pangea 80%, 3 AI: Persia, Celts, Zulu (on an island), Monarch, Year 1480. Persia and Celts have MPP and RoP but only Persia is at war with me. Me (Portugal) and my enemy (Persia) are in...

    What do you find to be the best unit?

    Best unit: Artillery, without it it's hard to impossible to fight in the late game without huge losses. Nothing, absolutely nothing can stand against a military supported by it and your army have almost no losses. And when the next enemy city falls it's defensive artillery joins the unstoppable...

    my first civ 3 on monarch

    Statue of Zeus I looked at the 600AD save. The situation improved against America (You are now second in power)but the Maya are running away. The solution I think is still libraries. They are cheap - 40 shields and will increase your research. Sparta- Has an aqua but no growth- transfer...

    my first civ 3 on monarch

    The situation is strange. I see large amounts of workers but I don't understand your usage of them. They should irrigate the plains near Mycenae and then irrigate the southeast peninsula. All those mines on brown should be replaced with irrigation and you have enough workers to do that in 15...

    Returning to the game

    Ah, the invasion. It's the first time i had invaded on Emperor and I underestimated the enemy. It was a bloody WWI style war. I blasted something like 200 Iroquis infantry and cavalry with my arty/cav stacks losing like 40 units, reaching max war wariness and then having a cease fire several...

    Returning to the game

    I see. The additional core city was put upriver on the east bank to get the horses and the spare floodplain tiles. I quickly discovered the enemy continent with a galleon from Tarsus. The Iroquis rule it dominating the 2 other civs there. Aleppo isn't in the best location but it was put to get...
