1000 clues your civ3 management skills need help

235. They you finally discover that SGL's can do something and you rush Wealth with all of them.

@Pentium: Oh right. Stupid unit limit! Okay then, I'll attack with a force of 4000 MA, 4000 MI, and 192 nukes!

I'm on another island and you can't build any ships, giving me time to complete my SS.

I have 192 nukes, remember? So I think I'll just launch those nukes at your island.

236: You get frustrated with the Warlord AI being too good for you, so you forget about Padma's warning and continue the spam war.(hint: dont continue the spam war )

 

[soul_warrior]

237: you find yourself in yoshi's shrine, converting to hinduism so you can use the contraband ivory tusks to manufacture your secret ACs

 

[choxorn]

azzaman, I think Padma's warning will stop the spam war.
choxorn and Pentium have signed a peace treaty.
238. You knew I can't beat Warlord.

 

[Desertsnow]

239. You try to make an army of settlers. (Is that even possible?)

 

[Mirc]

I don't think you can! But it's amazingly funny!!!

240: You wonder why your tank can't beat an Archer, when you remember for sure how you renamed all your warriors to "Tank"!

 

[choxorn]

241. You fill your army with archers one turn before invention completes.

 

[Mirc]

242: You fill your army with Archers one turn before you research Genetics...

 

[The 777 Hoax]

243. You scream at the computer when it won't let you chop a forest for a wonder.

 

[Pentium]

Fortunately we have the UN (aka mods) on the forums too

244. You chop and plant a forest on the same tile 10 times because you think if will make your Theory of Evolution complete faster.

My real tank lost to an archer. I screamed.

AFAIK, the AI is the same on any skill level, it just has better bonuses (or fewer penalties) on higher levels.

But reading this thread makes me feel much better, beause I can beat warlord .

245: You build every wonder without checking the effects. (did that my first game )
246: You have never seen a title higher then "The Worthless" at the end of the game.
247: You think military units (even pure defenders) do nothing at all unless you are a warmonger.
248: You build every wonder in the same city when culture victory is off.
249: You build no wonders, but also have the worst millitary.
250: You always lose your games by "the buzzer", unless you build the U.N., then you lose the vote. (my first 5 or so games )

 

[choxorn]

@246. Almost guilty, but I've gotten two of "the foolish" rating.
Welcome to CFC, Wario Mario!
251. Your Modern Armors (a.k.a. renamed warriors) can't beat archers.
252. You rename units to other unit names.
253. You upgrade all your elite units ASAP, but keep your Veteran and Elite* units un-upgraded as long as possible.

 

[Mirc]

254: You never change governments because when you tried, your civ entered Anarchy, and you didn't know that it will end in maximum 9 turns... And because you are sure the Anarchy will last for the rest of your game!

@AlCosta: If the archer is an elite attacking a redlined tank on grasslands, not across a river, not in a city, and without other bonuses, the Archer will have a 50,609% chance of win!!! If it is not redlined, but yellow-lined, it will still win in 18,114% of the cases.

 

[Wario Mario]

Welcome to CFC, Wario Mario!

Thanks


255: Every civ is gracious with you. Your leader rushes "Longevitey:2" when it could rush "The United Nations:1000".
256: 2 turns later, you lose by space race.
257: You pillage your own stuff.
258: You declare war when the only victory condiction is Diplomatic.
259: You think settlers, science, and San Zu's Art of War are the three most usless things in the game.

 

[Mirc]

You post some good clues, Wario Mario! Welcome to CFC :

 

[Pentium]

Welcome, Mario. Good clues!

Really, these are things I would not advice to anyone, especially not to new players, but...

247: You think military units (even pure defenders) do nothing at all unless you are a warmonger.

I still think that.

249: You build no wonders, but also have the worst millitary.

My usual games.

How about a (2/4) Veteran tank attacking a regular (3/3) archer on grassland, no hills, rivers, or mountains?
