Blue France perhaps?
I don't think they have a secondary colour...

France's secondary color is red (similar to but not quite the same as Babylon).
I don't believe they have a tertiary color.

Yeah that I am in despotism so late in the game. I was reading a story a couple of days ago that was aborted, forget why. Anyway it was a DG continents game, so I figured that sound like as good any any. I had gotten into a late AA war with the Inca lads and had just taken a town with ivory.
No one had even started SoZ for some reason. I then realized I had just gotten my fourth lux, all within a stones throw from the capitol. Shortly there after Montie was sending a bunch of archers, jags and horse through my land.
I was sure he had decided to jump on the Inca boys while they had their hands full. Montie had recently eliminated the Arabian nation and had nothing better to do right then.
I hustled around and was able to prevent Montie from getting any of the land, but he did help me by killing many units. The last town left from the Inca lads was blocked by me, so I made a 2gpt gift to Montie. I wanted to get him to let me be and go home.
Two turns later I see he is dragging a leader with the troops, so I dialed him up to demand he leave and he was gracious enough to DOW. Saved me the 2 gpt and let me kill the leader. He had about 26 units in my land. I killed them all, so that is when I decided to play all the way to the IA in despotism to give a small variant to the game.
So the anomaly is that I am about to finish the Middle Ages and I am still in despotism. I finally made the revolt in 860AD. My timing was not so good as I had just declared on Egypt, biggest on the other continent. They had tried to demand twice, so it was coming sooner or later anyway.
I had the world seed and settings:
20688297
France, Zulu, Egypt, Spain, Az, Arabia, Inca.
Continents
std map
80% water
Temperate
4byo.

I am using a 31 color palette from Darski. I play so many games with lots of nations.

Could you please post a link to said colour palette?
I really want to change some colours...
And, oh, the joy of killing an AI leader!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one willing to start a war to kill an AI leader.
That and I knew it would be easier to kill them while they were spread out on my grass. No walls, no fortification. I was not sure they would go home, even with the tiny bribe. I had a lot of workers and slaves that they may decide not to pas up.
After I kill those unit, I knew they would be sending ones and twos as they had sent everything they could spare to the front.

@ vmxa: maybe I'm a bit slow, and I admit that I haven't read that thread 'cover-to-cover', but I can't find any references to darski or colour palette in there.

A Little Sketchy
Week 7, 1915
Noteworthy battles in my Civ3 games are few and far between, and never did I have quite the epic tale as this. Sarevok and Rocoteh's Great War scenario provides one of the best balances of gameplay and realism; gameplay in that it's fun, realism in a ton of units. Soon after starting, I also learned that the AI can't play trench warfare worth a damn. Enemy armies are concentrated into a single stack against a single target. While this was dangerous in the early game, once I Rallied the Troops I was able to turn the tactic against them by bottlenecking the invasion force. Using this method, I eventually broke the French momentum and began a slow-but-steady appropriation of their cities.
But before all that... While the French were smaller but stronger, the Russian conscripts came in by hordes and throngs. The little garrison of 11 units stood against a total attack of roughly 142 soldiers the next turn. Posen ultimately fell, but they must have taken somewhere between 2/3 and 3-4 of the enemy with them. When I realized the scale of this, I went back for 'before and after' shots, but I must have moved something because the next turn they didn't attack.
In both instances, however, I took Ypres to defeat the Belgians.

Thanks!

I have been keeping some interesting screen shots while I have been on sabbatical...
This was the toughest water trail I have ever encountered
those little ponds that you see were it. With the location of the Ottoman city, I did not find that one until late in the game.
I think we need a new definition of Pangaea
yes I know there was a whole continent out there somewhere.
Interesting bits of numbers
I have never seen a notice for a 40 turn grow. no doubt it is because it is a 'recent acquisition'.
It seems that I am only half evil if you consider my playing times
This one is just a classic in-game adventure

Do not get.

Given the amount of desert and plains on the map it was a little difficult to get irrigation anywhere without a source of water. There was one pond in Korean land and one in Otto land. For a normal (not dry) map I find that a bit cheesy. Not one river, only 2 ponds.
I did eventually take out the Koreans and so I could begin the trek across the entire horseshoe continent to move water over around. Later on the Ottos donated their water as well.

Isn't there a mountain in the way?

That was a joke.
