Pop-ups? Pop-ups? What were pop-ups again? Seriously, I am not sure what you are doing wrong if you get stuff like that. I certainly don't have the most up to date software, but I don't see anything like that at all.

They came from the blackness...
300 Mayans will give their last dying breath to win at civ iii.
I've kept my military buildup in anticipation of cavalry and steam engine. Curiously enough, steam engine came first. Oh well. But what's this? No coal anywhere in my empire? This came as terrible news to myself. My 200+ workers began celebrating though, as they could slack off. Slackers. Where's my whip when I need it?
No other civ had a (spare) connected coal. The russians actually had a few resources but they didn't bother to hook up their jungles to their road network. What a primitive bunch, what is this, the middle ages? No! It's early industrial age ffs, we're civilized now.
Anyway, I had to load up my galleons and start an embarassing 9 turn journey to get the nice Mongols to kindly lend me their coal, and all of their cities. But then just as I reached the Mongols I got some terrible news... They've signed MMP with the Persians! !@$#@^#&! This meant I couldn't declare war on them for some 10 more turns, since I had a deal going with the Persians. I tried immediate steal to get the Persians to declare, failed, but they didn't declare war. Bah!
I had to come out with a plan fast. My knights were getting restless after 90 years at sea (How does that go, anyway? What, do they have children, and train them as knights while on board? Or do I have an army made of senior citizens?), and my workers were getting stupidly drunk by now from the celebrations. I realized I'd have no choice but to declare on the Russians and take some of their excess coal off their hands. Unfortunately, the force I brought with me was enough to handle the Mongols (who were barely out of the ancient ages), but not the Russians. I razed some of their cities and held on with everything I have on the coal city, to the great dismay of my workers.
My expedition force held on to the coal, while my main force has began the invasion on the Babylonians.
The babylonians were slightly backwards, so no riflemen. They also lacked saltpaper and iron, so only spearmen. They did have 2 horses though, but it was more of an annoyance than a real fight.
Next, is Russia. They have riflemen, but no horses so no cossacks.
Easy prey.
I have just discovered industrialization and my core is building factories, afterwhich I plan on triggering my golden age, and perhaps mobilize as well for some 20 turns of whoop ass.
What ever happened with my palace build, you may ask? Well, as it turned out, CAII says it's a bad idea to move my palace there for some reason. So I ended up manually building some 800+ shields in a half corrupted city. I've actually had to move the citizens to work the lake in order to prevent the build from running out. I'm guessing I'll use it on theory of evolution, which means I'll actually waste a good 350+ shields or so. I can't build hoover dam in a town that has a lake, but not river, right?
Let's just say that build ended up as a hilarious gag that overextended itself.

Yup, I got a porn come-on also. I never get those when I use Photobucket.
It's 840 AD now. Cleared the russians off their mainland, and they gave me 7 (!) towns in the peace treaty. Unfortunately I messed up and forgot I had a MA going against them when I signed peace. There goes the old rep. Oh well, I can do without it by this stage.
My cavalry force has actually seen better days, I've taken these past 10 turns as industrial age buildup and my entire core has factories now. I've declared war on the Sumerians and triggered my GA as well. All of my core is producing 1/2/3 turn cavalrys now. I don't encounter any real resistance military wise, and it feels like it's just a matter of time now. The Persians might be tricky to beat, since they will probably have infantry by the time I destroy the Sumerian + Egyptian mainland, but by then it will probably not matter much anymore.
I am sorry about the porn pop ups, I didn't notice that. So until I find a better host, instead of uploading images I'll draw pictures in ASCII:

Only 9 armies in 840 AD. In my Deity Huge game, it's currently 760 AD, I have 11 armies... 2 knights... one I got from an MGL and the rest I've cashed/disbanded rush... and I could really have done this more aggressively if I had had my very corrupt towns build units to disband rush armies instead of going with markets and aqueducts. I think the aqueducts a good idea, since getting towns to size 7 has meant I've barely paid any unit support on any turns this game. I don't mean to brag... but if you're still considering using a Republic *in the future*, you'll almost surely want more armies than what you have in your current game.
Oh man. Things were going well; I took over the Sumerian land (they just have 1 town on ice far away), I've cleared the Russians (hero settler on a boat), Japan almost cleared, my military grew and grew, I was/am researching towards combustion allowing my to utilize the full amount of my armies everywhere in the world, I am pushing 40% of world territory, but....
I decided to go for communism.
I've never used it before. I saw the stats in the corruption thread and it seemed it would do me well. Guess I was wrong.
After (a somewhat lucky roll of) 6 turns anarchy, it turns out my overall production has almost halved. HALVED! I thought communism was supposed to be this super production government for big empires (I have some 248 cities) ATM I have basically all of my previously corrupted zone irrigated, but here's the kicker:
A regular city without a courthouse has 74% corruption.
with courthouse it drops to 58%, and courthouse+police station drops to 49%. These are very corrupted numbers. :'(
I don't have SPHQ, and no one knows espionage yet. I realize it's important and I'll try and get it soon, but I wish I hadn't gone commi.
I hope after mining some of my land I could get some production back up, because my numbers are horrible now.
At least I'm learning what not to do if I decide to play another game in the future.
