It was'nt me...I swear. I was no where near work when it happened!

Because of your impressive Culture, your civilization produced a Great Leader, Britney Spears! Yuck. I'll pass thank you.

" Now this is cool and all but the last game I ended up with 9 armys fortified in that city with no units in them cause armys are just generally dumb. Maybe im not making good use of them but they seem lame, Expensive, and non upgradeable. " I think it's safe to say that you were'nt making...

Infanta: " typically i go after captols first as it resets their culture when razed or taken (i think it does anyway, anyone verify this?) " I'm not sure what you mean by 'reset', but from what I've observed, the civ that loses it's capitol, loses whatever per-turn culture it was...

I try to keep my wars short and sweet. Prepare. Attack. Peace. Repeat as necessary until the bad guys, (usually the Hated Babs in my games), are reduced to mere shadows of their former selves! I like to plan war carefully, preparing and positioning my forces. Identifying the cities I...

The question was.... War: Sue for Peace or Wipe them out? Answer.... Sue for Peace, then wipe them out. During your period of peace, build your armies back up, position them for the assault. Then provoke the enemy until war is re-declared. Repeat as needed. They're gonna hate you...

In one game, huge, regent, 10 civs, it was late industrial era before the last civ was finally discovered. India had maybe seven or eight cities on a small island all to itself, where it remained until discovered by other civs. Strange that they never tried to explore on their own, and were...

whstaff sez: " Still, it is the publishers responsibility to release a game that will perform on any system that fits the minimum requirements listed. CIV III clearly dosen't. " Let's examine this: First, I believe the requirements are on the order of specifying processor type, speed...

I would like the ability to loan money to other civs, at a negotiable interest rate, and repayment term.

Dinorius: Can you post that Wordpad file? Many of us, I'm sure, would benefit from using it.

Hurricane: Again, I did'nt know this was a subject of controversy....hence, no saved games. Loopy: I've embarked on a task to acquire two (or more) leaders, but since doing so, I have seen NO leaders. Does'nt that figure? Assuming that playing on the easiest level, with a...

Why is it that anytime a simple question is asked, some people use that as another opportunity to gripe about the game. Geez, if it bothers you THAT much, get rid of it already!

I build Wonders all the time. At peace, at war, it does'nt matter. It does'nt matter even if I KNOW I won't be able to complete it, because I might have the option of switching to a different Wonder, if need be. Why should the AI do things any different?

Loopy: I did'nt know you were'nt supposed to get more than one, or that this was even a controversial subject, hence no saved game that I'm aware of, (though I will check). If/when I get another example, I will post it.

Loki: True enough. I have also used the same technique against the AI. I have seen it fortify units on chokepoints, and feeling that turnabout is fair play, I built a city next to it's fort, and then demanded it remove it's forces from my territory.
