    [C3C] Civ 3 on GNU/Linux with Play on Linux

    I added following lines to Conquests.ini to make the game to start: PlayIntro=0 KeepRes=1 There is a new workaround to black terrain bug in the link: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41930 Rename /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libOSMesa.so.8 to something else so that Wine won't use it. After...

    How would you play this Sid level island capture?

    I think I got the drill. I won by 2011 AD, which is better than not winning at all :crazyeye: You really need a beachhead with heaps of artillery. Even a stack of archers can kill a stack of riflemen if given enough turns. So at first you should bombard all approaching troops to 3/4 to make...

    How would you play this Sid level island capture?

    What is the best way to land your army with galleys and without RoP? If you land your defenders, your army and your settler on a hill, the following turn when you can load your army, you are also able to found your city. So in terms of defense, the situation is the same as if you would have...

    How would you play this Sid level island capture?

    Pictures and saves are in the end. I am playing Byzantines on the Sid level. I have excellent starting location alone in a big island. I receive SGL on writing and I am able to build both the library and the lighthouse. With these I am able to get the tech lead. I later gift the library away...

    Expanding Civ3

    I think Ironclads should come with Steam Power and upgrade from Frigates. Right now Ironclads is unrequired tech so AI will only research it long time after Combustion, ending up to never build a single Ironclad :crazyeye: Would making Guerillas a 8/6/2 unit work?

    From demigod to klutz

    You had better focus to the war. Start it as early as you can to limit expansion of the AI. If my first town is a good settler factory, my second town starts pumping archers right away. Research iron working fast, so that you can take down all towns that have iron. Build lots of catapults...

    From demigod to klutz

    If you play a tiny map, the victory date and the difficulty level are practically only things that matter for the score. If you are going for the conquest, you had better choose a tiny map over a small map. Then just ramp the difficulty level as high as you can. Check this thread out for fast...

    How can I find out the map seed?

    Hello, I want to find out the map seed of a savegame. Which utility does this? I can't find Seed beast download anywhere. In that thread they claimed its features have been inserted to Civassist II, but I can't find map seed in there. I attached the savegame, in case you already have some...

    Sid Strategies

    Beating sid is quite simple and doesn't need any exploits if you have good start: 1. Start on 5 billion pangaea 2. Make lots of cities fast and capture/raze some to obtain key resources 3. Make big army with lots of artillery 4. Achieve tech parity and upgrade all units 5. Kill everybody...

    Question About Build Order (Start of Game)

    If you can build wonders in capital while expanding rapidly, your difficulty level is too low :nono:
