Civ III v. 1.07f - Waste bug?

[Serin]

For some reason, my cities suddenly go from little to moderate waste to ALL BUT ONE SHIELD in only a few squares. They're not particularly far from my capital, and I'm sure this isn't normal. But even if it is, my having a Communist government should fix that, but it doesn't. I tried several government switches to no avail. Is this some old, well-known problem for which I need to download a patch?

Oh, and courthouses don't seem to affect this waste either. It stays the same no matter what. *sigh*

Well, first, this is the wrong forum, since you're talking about vanilla 1.07, not the Conquests expansion.

Second, you have a REALLY old version. Get a more up-to-date patch and it will help.

Third, yes, Communism really does have corruption that bad up until Conquests. Each additional city owned increases corruption/waste, so that going to Communism could easily give you corruption so bad as to make nearly all cities worthless.

Fourth, welcome to CFC!
