i think its a great idea changing the resource graphics. personally, id like to have every resource be surrounded in a striking pink border. considering i have a hell of a time finding coal deposits. ive literally gone through the game grabbing coal from other civs when i have a coal deposit in...

no offense to any canadian citizens out there, but why would canada be scientific? their nation as a whole has created very little as far as technology is concerned. the industrial part is also wrong, considering you dont read a lot of stuff that says: "Made In Canada" ;)

wake up to reality, it is much harder to conquer the world then to live in a shell and and win a space race. God, a newbie could do it. What's challening is getting enough units while balancing everything else to blow the living hell out of your neighbor. Besides, what the hell is a diplomatic...

with the new patch, communism is much more effective, especially if you have a huge empire as far as corruption goes. its even more effective when factories come into play, because you're producing a whole lot of shields in every one of your cities. most of the time these shields are enough to...

ive played 3 games full in civ 3 so far, and i cant recall the answer to my question. can you upgrade to a special unit? so if you had a regular fighter, could you upgrade that to a F-15? or if you had a Knight, could you upgrade that to a Cossack? of course you would have to be the civ with the...

how about the most friendly nations? my vote goes towards the english and indians. oh and btw, Shakka is a bastard

I personally like the Japanese (and im not even asian!). Religious is great so i can switch governments and Militaristic is a must if you plan to have any military superiority. Maybe the best part is Samurai! easily the strongest unit in the early game, these things kick all others butt, and...

first off, thank you for your ideas. secondly, im gonna go ahead and add some info. first off, im a monarchy but I have huge corruption in the northern half of my province that is most protected by terrain. I could probably stay a monarch for a couple more turns before I switch to democracy...

I started in the beginning of the game right smack dab in the middle of the continent. To the top of me were the Persians and to the Left were the Indians and beyond them the Chinese, btw I’m Japan. At the start of the game I grab as much land as possible, and end up forming very good relations...
