How do i connect food the goats and cattle how do i get them as a resource and how do i connect other resources how do i get hourses can a pro help me yo.
 
food supplies like cattle, wheat etc can't be connected.
They are "localized resource"
if it is near the city, the population can work there to get the bonus.
they just provide advantage for local population.
it is therefore important to build city near them (not on them)

horse needs to be connected by road to 1 of your city.
if there is a road that is connected to the capital, AND
ALL city connected to the capital will enjoy the resource too.
They are "non localized resource" important to contruction of high tech stuff!
note that you can ony get a resource IF it is WITHIN your borders.
IF the resource is outside, you will need to use & lose a worker and build a colony.
remember that a conlony doesn't expand your borders, and you will need to guard it
so if they enemy plot a city next to the colony, you will lose the resource and colony!

silk are others help to keep the population happy.
always try as hard as possible to connect as many type for such resources to the capital,
They are "non localized resource" and each type of them make 1 population of the connected city happy

for the same "non localized resource", each civ only need 1 unit,
but capture as many of them as possible to trade with others for profit.

this is just a rough idea.
READ THE MANUAL :D :egypt:

Now those are the words of a real pro... Really!
 
Actually, akinkhoo, the manual has lost much of its power. The game has been so patched up that much of the information is now no longer relevant. Unit's values have been changed, civ stats have been changed, etc. I'd use the Civilopedia.

P.S. (To Maple) BTW, I made a new mod. You can use it if you like. New government, changed unit values, cruise missiles can go on subs and AEGIS cruisers. Its really cool. There's a HUGE list of details. If you want me to send to you, just PM me.:nuke: :lol:
 
well, reading the manual is good to do when you are playing your first game. in that aspect the manual still has a wealth of knowladge. As for the units changing values and such, that is not that big of a deal if you are just trying to get the basics of the game. The other thing I would sugest is look in the civilopidia, that can tell you about certain units, resources and buildings without having to flip through the manual each time you need to check on something.
 
Goats??

Where are the goats???

If we had scenarios we could make armies of animals: squirrels for reconnaisance, bears for attack, eagles for airpower. Civ 2 had scenarios like that. Not Civ 3. :mad:
 
Zouave why are you so critical of civ3? No first strike, no animals, no this, no that, why don't you just go back to civ2? Jeez:groucho:
