I may have to do that. What is the file?

Thanks, but this is more of a technical glitch sort of question. I am aware that I need specific resources / advances to build UUs. But I was playing a Persian game, I got iron, had it coming into my cities and could not build the Immortal. I then tried with some civs that have stone age type...

I still play Civ III Gold, probably played 250 games on three different computers. And this past week, I can no longer build my civilization's unique units. Any idea why this would happen? I got Conquests for Christmas from my son, and I loaded that on the computer back in January. I had a...

I've had the same problem. I dropped back to chieftan level to practise this aspect of the game. I'm playing a medium-sized pangaea map, 7 total Civs, I established embassies with two of them. With both Russia and China I had ROP agreements that had expired at 20 turns. I wanted to go to...

Well, I'm a relative newby as well, and I'm in no hurry to upgrade to Civ IV. I think I asked for it for my birthday (March) and that'll be plenty soon. The guy who got me into Civ is still playing Civ II with no plans on moving on.

How you make an We Love the King celebration?

#1 -- Cheating, but what the heck, this is a game. #2 -- Also cheating, I did it once and decided that it wasn't for me. #3 -- I'm still learning to use artillery but don't like it because I'm always destroying the city improvements and I like have a barracks when I'm moving into new...

^^^^^ Thanks. Is there any good archived thread on using the governors?

I'm having the same problem, which is contributing to my general lack of sleep this summer. I'm kind of addicted to watching combat, and the automation of workers never seems to have them doing what I want them to do. Does anyone use the governors? I'm kind of at the stage in one game right...

Playing a game and just discovered steam, so I've coal, and was ready to build railroads. Some of my workers have build railroads as an option, some don't. Does the worker have to already be on a road, or in level terrain or what to start building RRs?

Where on the PTW preferences screen do you get to choose the no-culture grouping option? I have the AIs selected at Random, but I'm getting a little tired of the same civs all the time. Also, is there a civ which everybody seems to get? I've concentrated on the Romans (as a typical...

I'm on my fourth game of Civ and the first one where I'm trying to do something else other than just kill and destroy. Actually, I wasn't ready to play a trade and science route to winning, it's just that my current game has me on a fairly small continent with 5 AIs and I have borders with all...

New here, new to Civ with three whole games under my belt (as an aside, how long do your games take? Mine seem to 30 hours per game). I've been playing the Romans, just because that's what the tutorial was, and I wanted to master a civ before moving on. I've been playing everything down the...
