Buttercup's Guide to Palace Building for Civilisation 3 Complete

So you think it's all to do with the title?

So you think it's all to do with the title?

That's probably a big part of it, yeah: 'dumb' KeyWord-search algorithms tend to put more emphasis on titles than content.

'Civilization 3 palace' is probably too generic a search-string to zero in preferentially on your thread (or at least, not near the top of the heap -- think how much stuff's also been written about Civ3 FP-use, or palace-jumps, etc.), but this thread title doesn't mention 'expansion', 'improvements' or 'upgrades', so it's not really surprising that it isn't picked up using any of those as an additional search-term.

Not sure what you can do about it though -- can you edit a thread title? And even if you can, would you want to? Have you checked how many results you get from those other strings you tried? If it's more than my 647,000 hits, then editing the thread-title might not be worth doing, simply because it makes your thread more likely to get swamped in the noise...

Can you add (more) tags for the thread, to help indicate what it's about?

 

[Buttercup]

I can't see any tags options, but I've changed the title and maximised the word-count allowed for that. There's no way I'm writing Civilisation with both spellings in the title though, lol.

Wow, can't believe this was a year and a half ago!

Played some Monarch level games recently and some of these didn't appear. My game might be bugging out, but also there's a strong possibility that some palace upgrades don't appear if you play on harder difficulties.

You could create a map such that the upgrade that didn't appear, is about to happen next turn (or so), and then start games from that map on various difficulty levels.
