What I would call my strategy is "Technospansionistic Cultrich." I build loads of cities, try to stay away from people as much as possible, and never ever trade my World Map (which is almost finished by the time the other Civs have explored their continent). I go wild on culture, and try to...

I hardly ever lose cities to another Civ. However, it has happened to me before and I've noticed a pattern. What makes a city culturally strong is the total amount of culture in that city. You can buy all the cultural improvements in a matter of turns but it takes time to aquire a lot of...

Have you ever tried to renegotiate peace and then declined to accept the new offer? I don't know if it works, but try this: [list=1] Start diplomacy with the target Civ Click "We would like to propose a deal." The leader asks you what you would like to trade, but instead of picking out...

I usually go Despotism-Monarchy-Democracy. Monarchy's early in the tech tree and usually the time I get it I'm not waging a lot of wars. As soon as I get Democracy though, I switch because of the rampart corruption. By that time, I'm making 100 gold per 10% in taxes and I can have the rest...

* Fixed AI exploit with regards to giving cities away in diplomacy. Straight from the readme. Actually now, other civs won't trade anything for a city. You can give cities to other civs or demand them, but if you add them into a trade, the advisor says "They would never accept a deal like...

You playing on a huge or large map? Perhaps there are too many railroads on the map that it won't go any higher. Do you notice a pattern with the squares that you can't build in (i.e. top left corner of the original city radius)? Is your mobilization set to "War-Time" instead of "Normalcy?"...

Worked, thanks a lot.

After getting the game to work for extended periods (aka turning off the sound), and upgrading, game worked fine. However, just as of late, I'm not able to build anything but Coastal Fotresses and Harbors. Not to be annoying, but those aren't exactly my choice of buildings to get stuck with...

Er...double post :o

Not to be rude but...well...I don't have an ATI Radeon graphics card. Don't think it would be that.

But then there'll probably be a buggy Civ5 out. You don't want to be..."behind"...do you? :p

Sorry to be a pest, but another problem has arose. Yesterday I finally got the game to run, but not without a crash every 20 or so turns. I'm not complaining about that now, but something more serious has reared its ugly head. Whever I open the Civilopedia from a city view or I press Ok...

I always get the problems that no one else has...I wish my screen would split into 4...

I played Civ3 for about a week, doing nothing abnormal...except for losing to the Germans which I annihilated so many times in Civ1. Yesterday I got an error after a sound repeated...over and over: CIVILIZATION3 caused an invalid page fault in module SOUND.DLL at 0197:0170862f...
