I am a happy to report... I have joined civilization! GOG was incredibly easy to download and find the files.
I have a question about colonies in civ 3... something I never even realized existed when I played this as a kid. If this isn't the right place to post my questions, let me know and I can repost them elsewhere but I was wondering 5 things about them:
1. When are you able to build them?
2. Can they be built side to side?
3. By connecting a road directly from a city to the colony, the city gains the ability to trade or use the resource they are built on only when that resource is outside of the city fatt cross, correct? (coal / rubber / iron / incense / game / gold / silk / etc?) -- also is there a distance limit for a colony from the city?
4. Do they only give the city access to the resource they are built on or do they give access to any resource directly around in an "X" shape, so 5 squares, or do they give the city access to any resource in all squares around the colony in a square shape, so 9 squares?
5. Is there any benefit if there are multiple of the same resource within the colony range (assuming it has more than a single square range)? And what happens if there's more than one city connected to a single colony by multiple roads?
Thanks again for all the help
