A couple of things I've never been able to do
1. Plant a spy. I have the Intelligence agency, what do I do next? If I try Espionage it only gives me the steal tech and investigate city. Doh.
2. Launch spaceship. I have built the thing but am unable to launch it. Doh squared.

I hope this hasn't been brought up before, I haven't seen it.
I hate when a different civ beats me to building a Wonder. It's easier to swallow if I can switch to a new Wonder. That's okay if there is a new Wonder available. But, I would like to keep my production in tact instead of it being switched to something else and losing hundreds of production shields if a Wonder is not available. Does "wealth" in Civ3 work like Civ2 and save your production?
If it doesn't, is there some way to save your production besides switching to Place or something? I mean, if I've got lots of production, even changing to Palace is just going to produce me a new palace in one or two turns.![]()

Just go into discussions with an enemy civ, and click on "Active" down below by "New", and then click on the stuff you want to take away from the deal...

I have never had any problems with my resources not being available though...

I just began my first war for strategic resources (third civ3 game so far). After extinguishing the Chinese and running off the Romans and Persians, I now have my very own, nice size continent. However, there is no saltpeter!
I dropped off about 12 samurai and took a Roman city w/ saltpeter in its radius. Question: If I quickly upgrade all my pikemen to muskets and lose the saltpeter over the next few turns, what will happen to my muskets? Do they revert back to pikemen?

Chieftess,
If you say No Coal, does that mean No Coal in your territory or No Coal at all? Also, what is the map size, your relative portion of it and could it be that coal was hidden under an AI city. Did you verify through trading?
These are quite important things to check before we dive into a lomg series of posts.
Tip: in the graphics modpacks forum there is thread Easy to spot Resources by SkankyBurns.![]()

It is a pure graphic mod and makes it very easy to spot resources wherever on the map.

I'll look there. I've also made a graphical addition to the coal icon myself (Just by putting yellow lines radiating from the coal).Atleast Civ2's hills were light brown, and trees and jungles looked different, too! [/B]
