Disable Culture Flip when first setting up your game ..... stupid rule e.g. losing a lot of military units in a "flipped" city ..... the Great Khan and his Golden Horde would destroy a city before allowing it to "flip" ..... so the AI can "Flip this" since it cheats so much anyway .... :lol:

an overall strategy that has worked very well for me in several Emperor level games is to limit warmongering during the so-called middle game ... after I warmonger during the era of the archer and swordsman, military strategy becomes defensive for me while working on infrastructure and trade...

disable culture victory, and do not allow cities to "fliP" .... the Great Khan does NOT permit this lunacy - conquered peoples should know better, anyway :lol: nothing is more frustrating to me in this game (other than maybe watching a galley sink a battleship, or a spearman kill a Modern...

;) especially playing at higher levels like Emperor .... usually fall behind in Techs, so forts (and later barricades) very useful to hide behind when trying to keep an aggressive neighbor at bey .... most times AI will not attack forts, esp. barricades unless very lightly defended ... instead...

So when was Gandhi a pacifist? .... playing my final game of vanilla Civ 3 (before installing Conquest) .... background: playing @ emperor level as Chinese, it's 1975 and down to 4 civs left, India in 1st place, me as Chinese in 2nd place down by 1000 pts, followed by France and Germany ...

build your military from the beginning, then attack, make peace, then attack again ... each time you make peace, demand techs ... helps to be militaristic and industrious e.g Chinese .... :die: The Great Khan defers to no one!

can somebody explain this? .... playing vanilla Civ 3 at Emperor level ... in ancient times my exploring warrior taps a goodie hut and "surprise" - "you have disturbed an angry band of whatever" barbarians ... I also noticed that I had just beaten a French warrior to the hut by one turn, so ok...

attack them both at once! .... then you don't have to worry about one of them getting ahead while you are busy killing the other .... only pause for concern is if you are looking at a 2 front war, but even then, build up your forces, then attack, maybe even a sneak attack on both at once! ...

Just finished an Emperor level game (Vanila Civ 3) playing as Chinese .... had a comfortable lead over everyone ( I had score of 3300, India in 2nd place with 2200 ) .... militarily I had Modern Armor, Mech Inf, Stealth, and most important, my Spaceship needed only the Plantetarium which becomes...

When in doubt - Attack them all!!!! :D :rocket:

alphabet, writing, literature ..... war-monger and expand along the way ... hopefully get a Great Leader from combat and use to finish Great Library .... in Peace negotiations demand Techs (as many as can get) and gold, then immediately trade what techs you can for other techs and gold ...

no, am playing at Emperor level ... started out war-mongering from the beginning (what choice was there) ... the Persians were more than happy to give me multiple techs each time I made peace with them ... was able to get the Great Library due to getting a Leader from combat .... and then...

am in middle of "vanilla" (not PTW) civ 3 at Emperor level, playing as Chinese .... thought some of you might find this amusing .... for set-up preferences at beginning of game I de-selected the "culturally linked" starting position option ... so, guess who I got as neighbors (playing large...

no way! ... if there is one Civ you must take out, and before the modern era, it's Germany ... go ahead, have them on your border, be their buddy, yeda yeda, but just wait and let them develop panzers! ... then Germany won't care how good a friend you have been, and their Panzers will roll...

use workers to build fortresses near your border and spaced 2 hexes apart .... will also need LOTS of arty and a good amount of cavalry and infantry, the latter for defending your forts and cities .... keep forts far enough from your border so his MA needs 2 turns to reach you .... when he...
