1000 clues your civ3 management skills need help

[Padma]

If the Chieftain AIs are expanding faster than you, they probably are cheating.

Or, as the thread title suggests, you *really* need to improve your management skills.

(And a lot of new players run into this very problem.)

 

[choxorn]

That very problem happened to me before I ran into CFC...
389. You try for a wonder on Chieftain in your most productive city- and don't get it.
390. In the year 3500 BC, the AI conquers you. On Chieftain. (which I am not sure is even possible)

 

[choxorn]

Where'd everybody go?
391: You sign an MPP with the 1 AI that's left.
392: Barbs enter his territory forcing you to declare war on the barbs

 

[TimBentley]

393. The barbs have a stronger military than you. In the modern age.

 

[pol1]

394. barbs get a MGL from battles with You.
(i don't think it is possible, but.... )

 

[LawOfFives]

395. The barbs contact you offering to sell Horseback Riding. In 1500 AD.

 

[azzaman333]

396; You lose a Time Voctory to the barbs.

 

[choxorn]

397. The barbs conquer you when you have a city (which isn't possible)
398. On Chieftain, an AI has 28 of the great wonders.

 

[azzaman333]

397. The barbs conquer you (which isn't possible)

If you dont build your first city, you can be conquered by barbs.

 

[choxorn]

Okay, I'll change it then.

 

[Alexander great]

399.You are in the anciant age and rest all CIVs are in the modern age trying to attack u with modern armor while u defend with warrier.

 

[choxorn]

What difficulty level is it?
EDIT: 1,000th post! w00t!!

 

[Abegweit]

400. There are difficulty levels?

 

[Shackram]

Don´t remember if those were said before.

401. It´s the start of the game and you put the lone citizen of your capital to work on that montain tile so you can finish the pyramids faster.
402. You use your first worker to explore the uncharted lands while your capital build a temple.

 

[choxorn]

403. You're an Agricultural civ, and you have Electricity. After building a city in the middle of the desert, you don't irrigate some of it's squares ASAP.

 

[Mirc]

404: You play a mod, and when it fails to load you wonder why it tells you "Missing file: C:\Program Files\Civilization III\Conquests\Art\Units\blahblah_attack.flc. The game will now exit" and not Error 404.

405: You throw your Civ3 disk because you used all your Spearmen to attack 12+ cities, with 6 elite Infantries fortified in it, and the AI didn't even lost one hp!

 

[AutomatedTeller]

406. It's Sid. You are happily building away your 20K city and not paying any attention to the AI ships floating around that keep parking units next to your lightly defended non core cities and declaring war and taking them.

You defeat them... and 10 turns later it happens again...

 

[choxorn]

407. You try for 20KCulture/Diplo/SS victory, and your 20K/UN/Apollo+SS city is razed because you only defended it with a warrior...
408. The aforementioned city culture flips.
409. One AI city has every single great wonder eek. On Regent.
410. The AI city with all of the great wonders culture flips and you click "We don't want it. Rebuff the Rebels!"
411. You do #410 on purpose when you're not playing a variant that forces you to.
412. You send your Modern Armor through an unroaded mountain chain when there's grassland to go through right next to it...

 

[R.B.]

24: You lose on Cheiftian.

I've lost on chieftan 2 times... when I first *bought* the game.

 

[choxorn]

413. Your empire is reduced from the size of Europe+Asia+Africa to one city because your only military unit is a conscipt warrior.
