My game, please give me some tips.

Ok, first things first,

This, Orix, and that other city nearby NEED courthouses/police stations, before anything else. Otherwise they are close to useless.

The two captured roman cities are actually functional, but would also be better if they had courthouses/police stations.

The old Roman city Neapolis is actually valueable thanks to magellen's voyage, which increases all ship movement by 1.

Alexander of the Greeks has espionage, which you may want. Even if all you do is plant the spy, you will have up to date info on their military :)

By making people really angry, and then screwing up a spy mission, you can also get people to go to war with you :)

Kahun is corrupted. It needs courthouse/police station.

If you keep your gold at 1000+ you will make an extra 50 gpt on interest from your wallstreet.


A quick assessment indicates corruption in general is actually pretty low. Goodjob.

Another city that could use some help with corruption is Avaris. Finish the factory first.

There's a mined gold tile west of Thebes, north of Memphis, and south of Seleucia that you could build a city on. Since no city can work that gold, and commerce bonuses from resources will be used even on the city square (as in, the gold isn't wasted by building a city on it like wheat would be), you could have a decent little coastal city cranking out some good commerce.

If you want to be friends with your Greek neighbors, one thing you could do is wait for them to get combustion, and sell them oil.
Unlike the other countries, he's still got a good economy.

Germany has many luxeries they either won't share, (3 of them) or will for a hefty price (gems). If you are dying for a fight when you get tanks, and... actually, no bad idea. You'd lose the five eastern cities right away, ESPECIALLY the southern ones. They are guarded by a total of a warrior, 2 spearmen, and an archer :lol:

A quick look at your army indicates of you save some gold you could upgrade your:

1 warrior (to swordsman in vanilla civ3, guerilla in ptw)
1 archer (longbowmen or guerilla, respectively)
10 spearmen (into 10 infantry)
6 swordsmen (only if you have ptw though)
3 pikemen (to 3 more infantry)
1 longbowmen (again, only with PTW)
2 knights (cavalry)
6 musketmen (6infantry)
15 riflemen (15 infantry)
4 cannon (artillery).

If you have PtW, that totals into an extra (I did read that you bought PtW right?):
4 artillery,
2 cavalry,
9 guerillas
34 infantry

Though it sounds like a lot, most of your military is up to date.
 
Ok, the german warmachine is pretty good, so I'd make sure to get infantry in and upgrade soldiers the Eastern 5.

The greek warmachine is not so scary. Ah comeon, they had workers it your terrirtory and I really wanted to shoot cannons at the germans too ;)

Here's a picture of your lands without cities and all, after 2 turn defensive against the greeks and germans. Notice all cities in disorder (where the fires are)

Nono, those are not real disorders :lol: I caused them. Don't worry about that. I was just messing around.
 
One thing you could do is upgrade those cannons to artillery, and get lots more artillery. Take this huge stack or artillery, guard it with some infantry, and move it 1 or 2 tiles awat from a city, and blow into the dust.
 
Yeah, I'll do that.

Do I have to be in a city with a barracks to upgrade them though? Or can I upgrade them where they are on the map?

Thanks.
 
city with a barracks.
 
Take a breather after you conquer the Greeks. Consolidate your gains, heal and upgrade your troops.

Check out your trade situation and see if you fell behind during the war. If so, try to accelerate your tech rate by adjusting the science and luxury sliders.

When you are comfortable, invade the Germans. In the turn before you do, give those cities in the NW to Babylon. You won't be able to defend them during a war. Consolidate you troops into a Stack of Death (SOD) and sweep into Germany in one area. On the next turn you can expect them to throw everything they have at you. Therefore, you have to plan your attack to be able to absorb their counterattack in an effective manner. Take along some defensive units. If you can do that your victory is all but assured.

I don't know where you are on the tech tree because I didn't download your game today. But if possible head directly for Synthetic Fibers and get Modern Armor, the best unit in the game.

Good Luck and keep posting.
 
Ok thanks....

How many cultural points do I need for a city to get a cultural victory?
(I know 100,000 gives you a cultural victory for the empire, but I want to know how much ONE CITY needs :))

Cos I have 79000+ pionts all up and thebes is just 18 turns away from getting 10,000.

Thanks in advance, I will update the save later tonight (I live in Australia) or tomorrow morning.

Thanks again.
 
For a one-city cultural victory, you need a city with 20000 culture.
Difficult, but once reached, very satisfying.

Seems Thebes has a long way to go.
 
Yes, yes it does :(

I am only needing about 15000 more cultural points to get 100,000 for the civilization!

I will post that save tomorrow.

I just wiped out the Greeks and the English!

And as soon as I finished off the Greeks on that little island, the Germans declared war on me! :eek:

(not that I'm worried, I have tanks surrounding their border :D )
 
There is one 'minor' issue about the 100000 cultural victory. You need to at least have double the amount of culture of the 2nd one culturally.

For example, opponent has 65000 culture, you'll need 130000.
 
Oh darn.

Well I am about to start attacking the Germans (the blue on the map on this thread) so I think i should double the Babylonians' by the time I finish with germany. Otherwise I will probably go for a space race victory. I'd really like to win culturally. (Worse case scenario would be that I go up to the Babylonian island, I don't like using naval units much)
 
ok!

The germans are gone, the english are gone, the greeks are gone.
Oh and the romans are gone, but they went in the ancient ages :D

The only civ left is the Babylonians and they are on an island by themselves and they have a couple in my territory.

Here is a couple of screenshots.

Why am I not getting a cultural victory?
I am easily double the babylonians in the cultural score.
I think I have 2/3 of the land mass (or does that include water as well) for a domination victory.

Maybe I just have to play a few more turns, if not I'll go and send troops to Babylon.

Please give advice, etc :)

Thanks.
 
Never mind guys! I won on my next turn :rolleyes:

I won by domination :eek:

My first Warlord victory :egypt:

Is this a good score?

Thanks to everyone that helped me out in this thread! :goodjob:

Please post comments on my game. :)
