1000 clues your civ3 management skills need help

[lurker322]

178. On chieftain, you wonder how AI got Riflemen when you are still attacking with pikes and swords.

 

[Mirc]

attacking with pikes

This part deserves a separate clue!

179: You see that Chivalry is a dead end tech and not required for the next era, so you don't research it. You do this in 2 games. In the first one you were playing as the Japanese, in the second one as the Indians.

 

[azzaman333]

180: You have to increase the total turns to 1000 on Chieftian just so you can win other than Histographic (guilty)

 

[choxorn]

180: You have to increase the total turns to 1000 on Chieftian just so you can win other than Histographic (guilty)

also guilty...
181. Chieftain level: The AI actually gets to the <insert age here> before you so.
So guilty...

 

[Pentium]

182. You poprush settlers in a low-food city.

 

[Mirc]

^ 183: Because the city had 7 grassland tiles and 1 mountain tile, and the exact turn when you founded it you set your only citizen to work that mountain...

 

[Pentium]

184. And you mine that mountain, in Despotism of course.

 

[choxorn]

185. You actually set your first-city worker to work a no-food tile.

 

[Sashie VII]

185. You actually set your first-city worker to work a no-food tile.

186. And you didn't realize until a dozen turns later that you accidentally press F instead of R.

 

[azzaman333]

186. And you didn't realize until a dozen turns later that you accidentally press F instead of R.

187. You completely forgot about the worker until you got attacked, when you thought that fortifying him in a city would save it.

 

[Mirc]

188: Then you send a SoD of Spearmen, warriors, and pikemen to attack the enemy cities and take your worker back.

 

[choxorn]

189. Then a Sword SOD completely obliterates it.
190. You have pikes but not swords or MDI.
191. That same SOD comes into your capital and you lose by conquest.

 

[Pentium]

190. You have pikes but not swords.

Why exactly would you have Swords if MDI are available?

 

[Stazro]

Why exactly would you have Swords if MDI are available?

As long as you play vanilla-civ3 mdi is never available (so this choice wouldn't be there).

 

[Pentium]

Yeah, right.

I must stop acting smart someday

 

[choxorn]

@Pentium: Swords or MDI. I'll edit that now.

 

[Gorank]

192: You have modified Chieftan level to make it easier.
193: You still lose.
194: You keep on trying to make a happen, even though you have lost countless times.
195: The ghost of the in-game leader of the civ you just lost as comes and attacks you!

 

[choxorn]

192: You have modified Chieftan level to make it easier.
193: You still lose.

You mean, Chieftain isn't the easiest level??

194: You keep on trying to make a happen, even though you have lost countless times.

That's not supposed to happen very often...

195: The ghost of the in-game leader of the civ you just lost as comes and attacks you!

That's more of a sign you play civ 3 too much...

196. You mod Chieftain level again. And still lose.
197. You keep on making it easier and easier, until finally, on your 11111111st time, when you finally win.

 

[Gorank]

That's more of a sign you play civ 3 too much...

I meant that you lost so horribly that they get offended at how you insulted them.

 

[mythmonster2]

198: (On a world map) You offer an AI all of your cities as a joke when you control most of South America and Central America... and acidentally hit the gift button... AND you forgot to save for the entire duration of the game.(Guilty)
