Trying first game, looking at the Civ 3 Complete Manual which gave me the courage to get started and figure I couldn't get to lost. Well, I was wrong!
I started up a Quick Game just to get a feel for movement and such while I'm reading as much as I can get my hands on.
I thought it took a Settler to start a town in the first place! Finally figured I had to be on an appropriate, workable tile to begin with and, lo and behold, got my first town made by the only character who would appear -- warrior. Several. Found a "right" tile and started it it up. I then figured to get another Warrior and start looking for others, including the Settler and the Worker and let it roll a while.
Well, nothing but Warriors keep appearing and I can't figure how to change what I want to build -- as in to a Settler/Worker. In fact, I don't see any real options to choose from so i seem to be walking around and around will another Warrior pops out. I've tried a few other times and have probably chosen a different version of the game and just don't see the smartest way physically to get started!
Help?
