Hello everyone!!!
I have been lurking on this site for months, only recently registered, but I am hoping to become a part of this great community...
Setting that aside and on to the real topic; my Civ III troubles...
I play PTW, the most updated patch just so you know...
I have been playing Civ for years, but only recently have I decided to challenge myself and move up in difficulties. I consider myself a better then average player overall, but I have some very big problems with my gameplay.
I am, atleast I think, and excellent peace time builder. All my games monarch and above that I have won have been either Space or Diplomatic. However, I never seem to use any military in my games.
I don't know what it is, why I just never seem to push myself to buidling units and attacking. It always seems useless to me seeing as the AI is so strong at those levels. But I realize this is what is keeping me from winning consistantly at Emporer level. It's like an all or nothing. If I get attacked, I lose instantly. But if I don't, I have a good chance of winning. I always succumb to bribes and all the sort. Very peaceful.
I geuss what I'm asking for is some tips on military, how to use it when to use it. I read the guide to winning on Emporer and I get all of it. Just I have a hard time using military...
The game I attached is a Monarch game. You can see the very little military presense I have, but you can also see how I am obviosuly going to win very easily.
This is at a point in the game where it was a lock so I jsut started building happiness just for a higher score.
So any advice or tips would be great. Also, I've been thinking about asking for a SG for teaching the emporer level. Because I know I'm not the only one having trouble.
Thanks everyone!
(and sorry for the long post)
