Post a picture of your empire

Not that I've ever actually researched a future tech, but yeah, it's my understanding that they add to score.
I just looked around and from what I can tell, due to the way civ3 calculates score they only add 5 pts. averaged out over the 540 turns...

...that's .009 pts per tech if you go all the way to 2050 totaling 0.3 pts. if you do 32. So yeah, if you're squeazing every last drop...

On second thought, is it 5 pts per turn that you have it? (ie. Moonsinger would have gotten approx. 32 * 4 (<--min research) * 5 = 640 pts from future tech 1) That would make more sense.
 
I spent about 175 turns researching future techs on my last HoF subsission, reaching Future Tech 25 IIRC. My total score for this was something like 11.4 points. (this was Regent Level btw).
 
Here's my current game.

Monarch difficulty as Babylon, large Pangaea map with 12 civs, been at war most of the game and it's 740 AD. The Iroquois luckily are my allies, but they're starting to become very powerful, as they always seem to. They've kicked the crap out of both Spain and Rome. The Dutch are also pretty powerful, but they haven't been in war all game. I've kicked the crap out of the Inca; they only have 4 cities left. One of them is their capital that was at the south end of their main empire, the other 3 are all far-flung colonies that would take me a while to destroy. Their current capital (you can see the pink border in one of the pics) was captured by the Iroquois, so I didn't bother to go after it, but it appears to have either flipped back or been miraculously recaptured.

Although at one point I was at war with the Russians, Inca, Japanese, Vikings, Chinese, and Spanish (I didn't declare war on any of them), I am now just at war with the Inca, who I've crushed. I captured the Great Wall and Leonardo's Workshop from them as well.

Here's my core, which is the eastern part of the my empire (I know someone will mention the mined wheat, but I was much more concerned about production than food at the time; my next plan was actually to irrigate those):

Here's the central part, which was the western part until I conquered the Inca:

Here was the core of the Incan empire that I captured:

And here's the remainder of my empire, the southern part (including a city I captured from the Russians a long time ago). The obscured city is Eridu (which was captured by both the Japanese and Vikings at one point):

Overall I've captured 7 cities from the Inca and 1 from Russia. The Japanese and Vikings were both able to surprise me from the east at separate times. They both captured Eridu and I got it back both times, but the Vikings also got another city. I recaptured it, but then the Vikings recaptured it again and razed it this time, so I had to resettle there (that's where Shuruppak is now). Ironically, that's also where I razed a Russian city on my way to St. Petersburg. I razed another one near where Akwesasne of the Iroquois is now as well. The Iroquois were able to get to Moscow just before me and at that time I signed a peace treaty with the Russians.

Overall though I think I'm doing pretty well. Much better than my last few games, that's for sure.
 
Dude the second to last pic looks identical to a map I once had, based on the others I doubt it is but it jumped out at me.

Yeah, funny - that map looked familiar to me aslo, I was trying to put it in perspective of an old game I played a while back.

Hey - road those grapes!

:p
 
Space your cities closer.

My plan in my next game is to space my cities closer and see how well I do compared to how well I do with my normal spacing. Imo, spacing my cities out farther apart gives me better overall city placement and more space early on in the game before getting surrounded and I've never had that much of a problem with it.

This game has gotten really interesting. The Iroquois have been on a rampage and between us we've killed off the Inca (the Iroquois got 1 city of theirs, the rest was me), Germans (they got 2 cities, including the last one way out in the boondocks, but I got all the rest), Russians (combined effort), Chinese (all Iroquois), Romans (all Iroquois), Spanish (all Iroquois), and most recently the Dutch (almost entirely me). The Iroquois are also about to kill off the Americans; they have 1 city left on an island. It's early in the Industrial Age and the only civs remaining are me, the Iroquois, the Japanese, the Vikings, and that 1 American city, out of 12 initially. I don't know how I'll be able to overcome the Iroquois; they have a massive military and I fear that as soon as they run out of people to attack they'll go straight for me. I've been their ally all game, but now I have no leverage. We're even in tech, they have a much larger military, they have all the resources and luxuries they need, and there's no one to gang up on. It's an inevitable clash of 2 superpowers, and it's coming much sooner than I wanted it to.
 
Welcome to CFC, Dalyinx! [party]
 
Monarch, Iros, continents 70%.

Core:

East / Central part of Empire. Conquered from Greece. turned into specialist farms.

Northern part of Empire. Conquered from Byzantines. Also turned into specialist farms.

North-west part. Also conquered from Byzantines, then later resettled and cleared of jungle.

Rome, or what's left of it. They will die this turn.

It says that Fission is due in @ 14 turns at 10% science, but that's because I started using the governor to manage happiness.
 
Probably not one-turn, more like 2-turn or 5-turn.

But let the AI cities BURN, BABY, BURN!!!!!!!!!! :devil:
 
It would take too much time to build up cities over on the other side of the continent. I was just lazy, and it took more like 5-10 turns. I had already won the game by that point, anyways. modern armor vs. muskets = lol.
 
Probably prefers Conquest over Domination.
 
Bah! There is no greater victory than watching the world slowly (or quickly) turning to your color!
 
Just be careful when fighting ouddated units with Modern Armor, sometimes they'll win. ;)
 
*gasps* The Romans... I just realized... a SPEARMAN! RUN! RETREAT! LET THEM LIVE IN PEACE!
 
*Modern Armor Commander laughs*

Relax, sir, even if he is a :spear:, we have thousands of Modern Armor here! He can't beat them all!

*A few hours later*

Maybe I was wrong...

:spear: pwns all, even our 20ish MA armies and 100ish MA non-armies!

I totally underestimated the power of the :spear:

Beware the :spear:! This sign was built outside the city of Seleucia.

On the gravestones of most of the men who died in the Battle of Seleucia, the line "Ha ha, you were pwned by a :spear:" appears. The gravemakers have no idea what they're talking about. So beware of ancient guys with spears!!!

MWAHAHAHAHA!

:spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear: :spear:

Sorry about that, just felt the urge to post a bunch of random spear smilies.
