Big fan of civilization 2 but 2 words sum up my thoughts on civ 3

Are you denying there is much of anything left to discover after 500 AD?? Explorer units are pointless as there is nothing to explore when they are available. I also can't get ocean-going vessels until after all territories are already settled.

Strategic resource tiles are EXTREMELY rare, subject to depletion, and extraordinarily difficult to trade for. Thus, wars, wars, wars.

The fact that there is nothing left to explore after 500ad is a little irksome. I will be posting on this subject a few days after Christmas. A solution would probably not be possible within the confines of Civ3, so I intend to enjoy the game as it is now.

I rarely have problems with resources. There is no choice in the game but to expand rapidly in the Ancient Age. If need be, you must pop-rush settlers. You must settle in Jungles, Forests, Hills, everywhere possible.

If you don't have an important resource, you'd better start making friends. I'm a peacemaker, and a generous sort to any true friend, so I can usually secure the resources I need.

"Joan, Baby, how 'bout sharing a little of that extra iron you got?"

"Catherine, you look sooo nice today. Let me show you how to spell your name. This is called writing."

"My what a big TANK you have Baron. Maybe you would like to help me out. I have a city which doesn't seem happy. Maybe you could make rule them instead of me. Just tell that big TANK of yours to get off my lawn. Thanks!"

It's almost as if these people are hired by MicroProse to rip on Sid Meier wherever they find him...



It was well worth my money. Black and White was a waste of my money. We may disagree--oh well--that's freedom.

Black and White looked amazing but sucked and it was expensive and i wasted money getting a higher memory.

I like CIV3. The only problem is the corruption and sometimes i feel that there is not enough saltpeter in the world.
