Problem with making peace with the Russian

[vikarybyn]

Hello,

this is my first time on this forum, so I'm not sure that I've placed this thread correctly.

Well anyhow, I started playing CIV 3: Play the world the other day. And it went quite good, until the year 1995.

In the beginning we were 6 civs on my continent. I've took out the Egyptians, Romans and the chinese. Leaving only me (the Scandinavians), the Germans and the Russians.

I conquered a couple of towns from the Russians and made peace after that. Then I for some reason went into a Mutual protection agreement with Germany and the Americans (on another continent, btw). Shortly thereafter I started to experience that my newly conquered russian town went back to Russia, due to their "culture". So I decided it was time to make sure that didn't happen again. So I went in with all my force and after 4 turns I had managed to conquer all of the remaining Russian cities. However no "The Russians have disappeard"-dialog box came up. The Russians were still in the diplomacy-box, however no cities in the espionagewindow. So I couldn't make any peace with them neither (always "The russians refused to acknowledge or envoy"). So at first I didn't care, but then all my towns and cities started rioting on me, halting all my production because of that they didn't like war, that I was technically still in. The Russian don't have any score any more on the histograph, nor power, but they still have the equal amount of culture as they had before my war.

So what has happened? What can I do about it?

thanks in advance

Peter

Probably best to do this in the General forum as few look at this one. The problem is likely that the Russians have a settler some place. May even be on a boat. As long as they have a settler they stay in the game.

If they cannot find a legal location to found a town, they will wander around or park. Maybe you can get lucky and someone will sink the boat. In the mean time get out the search parties.

I wish they had put in the 7 day must have a castle like Homm3. Can't found a town in a week you out.
