I haven't used them yet....but Privateers are: (From the Civilopedia)
"Privateers are small Frigates that carry no national markings, allowing them to attack and be attacked without revealing the nationatally of the ship..."

The stats are:
Attack: 1
Defence: 1
Movement: 3

CM can you answer my fishey question...it is important for a kitten to know how much fish he is getting.

AND the planting tree option? used it/see any point in doing so?

 

[CornMaster]

Well...the fish and whales were grouped together for the most part...but were few and far between...and planting trees???

I don't know what you mean?

 

[joespaniel]

Somehow I pictured you more like Alexander...

 

[joespaniel]

[CornMaster]

Have you noticed yet how when a civ is down to it's last couple of cities, the defending units are much more fierce? In Civ2 the defending units of the capitol fight harder than most, but in Civ3 it seems different...... do you suppose they're trying to discourage military conquest? they also have seemed to stack the rules against expansionism.

 

[WUM]

He Corn,
thanks again for making the waiting bearable...

a question:
after razing the German city you got 2 workers.
Did this mean it was a size 2-city???

important because take a size 8-city. You will choose between a city with 8 resistors ór no city but 8 workers!!!

if this is so, it seems to me it´s an easy choice, expecially when you still have to work on you roadsystem!

After researching engineering your workers get that ability.

WUM, from this thread i got the impression that hazing a city, even large ones, gives you a couple of workers, not the number of people in that city. Care to confirm Corn?

Also, why didn't you haze heidelburg. Were you in need of the horse, assuming that the resource is a horse? The location of the city is poor.

thanks for the tread. I also asked that thread-starter if the amount of workers you get when razing a city is in any way related to the city-size.

Just hope someone will tell us!

CIV III JÁ ESTÁ NAS LOJAS


ATENÇÃO: O TEL DA Infogrames mudou para (11) 3888-7614



Os gamemaníacos de todo o Brasil podem parar a contagem regressiva. Sid Meier - Civilization III, o jogo de estratégia mais esperado do ano, chega às lojas de todo o país hoje, 31 de outubro.

Game fans across Brazil can stop the countdown. Sid Meier's Civilization III, the most eagerly-awaited strategy game of the year, arrives in all the country's stores today, 31 of October. With the manual in Portuguese. The Brazilian launch will be simultaneous with that in the United States. Although Europe and the other countries in South and Central America will get the game 15 days later.
"It is with much pride that Infogrames of Brazil launches CIV III. Besides being the best game of the year, we managed to follow the release date for the United States. This is thanks to the efficient work of our Department of Product and Marketing, Mr Frédéric" says Mr Martin, director of Marketing and Sales.
Those who do not have to work over the holiday will be able to be have fun managing the 16 civilizations that the game offers. Civ III brings together all the elements of the previous versions, that had made it a bestseller, and improves upon it with new graphical features using more advanced techniques.
The two first episodes have had 4 million copies sold. To know more about the game, you only need to access the site: www.civ3.com, that each week introduces a different civilization.

Now I confess that I have no idea why I did this, as it is not particularly exciting to read. For Portugese speakers, I did alter some of the text to improve the way it reads in English, but the gist is there. Can we have posts in english in future please? If you have to post in other languages then ask one of the appropriate moderators if you can have a thread in your language in the OT forum. There's a French jokes thread in H&J.

I got it yesterday and I started a Japanese civ and it is great.
One qualm, though...

Why did they make the game so the CD has to be in the drive to play? It is tedious to have to take it out and put it in for other applications. The full install, which takes a huge 700MB, should include everything in the CD and should be fully functional without the CD in the drive.

I am .

700MB IS NOTHING FOR A FULL INSTALL, JUST BUY AND INSTALL "VAMPIRE THE MASQURADE" ITS A MIND BONGELING 2GB FULL INSTALL
OR COSSACKS 1.5 GB, SUDDEN-STRIKE 1&2 1.5 GB FULL INSTALL.
I ADVICE GO AND BUY A BIGGER HARD-DISK

They give you the choice to keep the city or raze it, and if you raze a city it will yield 2 workers, because basically 2 workers equals 1 settler, and in essence you are "kidnapping" your ememies' citizens into a life of slave labor. They are able to recapture their own workers as well as yours if the workers are off doing something without a defensive military unit nearby.
