If you have a military alliance against a common rival, and say 5 turns later declare war on the allied nation does it have any impact on your reputation?

Yes, if you still have that military alliance pact going on - IIRC it's 20 turns pact. If the pact has expired, no impact on your reputation.

Univ Sufferage reduces war weariness. Does anyone know if it also preserves war happiness? That is to say, if you are enjoying WH, will the U/S wonder help with WH points lost in battle, via enemy occupation, etc. Interesting question eh? Maybe moot since I've read here that the wonder doesn't really have much effect.

I think US works by making one person content who would otherwise be unhappy with WW.
No benefit in terms of accumulating WW points.

I see that Xenophobia is listed as a component of Fascism. How does that work in the game? Same for Deportation

 

[Turner]

Xenophobia means that your city doesn't produce culture unless 50%+ of the population is your nationality in the game.

Deportation means you take a hit on your city population when you take a new town or switch to that government.

I think.

Is there some way I might track down what is hanging up my game? I'm playing "The Vietnam War Deluxe" scenario. This is my second time playing it... had no problems the first time round. But after a half dozen turns in game 2, it is now stalling during the AI's turn. I'd very much like to continue this game. Does anyone have any advice as to how I might identify what has confused the AI?

 

[General Zod]

Hey guys/gals,

No doubt this has been asked before... How can i limit the tech tree in Civ3: Complete for mac? I'd like to stop advancement at early eras, like medieval. Can i do this? How?

Thanks for your help.

Perhaps there are units with 0 movement points, uncheck their ability to be explorers in editor. I don't know more.

 

[White Elk]

Thanks Northern Wolf. There were no units with 0 movement, but there were a few Immobile units with the Go To and Explore flags checked. I unchecked those flags, saved, and reloaded. The game still stalls at the same point.

I noticed that my edited BIQ file was only 65kb vs the original 525kb. But everything is there when I started a new game!?! I don't know why my edited file would be so light, yet still have the full mod with all its starting units etc? So I deleted the original files (previously I had just renamed them as backup), restarted my PC and started a new game. The entire mod was there despite the disparity in file sizes?!? I'm confused.

Is there anyway to tap into something like an AI log so we can see what it's doing when it gets stuck in a loop?

Quick minor question-
In my current game I've captured a few great wonders that are obsolete. Their cities are on another continent and therefore liley to be 100% corrupt. Is income from tourism subject to corruption? If so, I may just want to abandon/raze wonder cities far away from my core to avoid the hassle of culture flipping as they invariably have a lot of culture.

 

[Turner]

I believe that gold coming in from wonders is not subject to corruption.

 

[CKS]

Tourism income doesn't show up as money, beakers, or happy faces on my city screen, so I'm pretty sure that is is lost to corruption.

 

[pol1]

it seems that it is corrupted (just checked that one) - it can be clearly seen in conquered AI cities.

 

[Turner]

Crap. I was sure it was uncorrupted.

 

[vmxa]

Only taxmen are uncorrupted income. Well I guess you could say the income in the capitol qualifies.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Forum, General Zod. I am primarily on Macs, and pretty much do all of my gameplaying on a Mac. The only way to limit tech advance is to modify the game in the editor. The Mac version does not have an editor for Complete, and I do not expect it ever to be ported to the Mac. You might want to check in the Creation and Customization Forum for any scenarios that might fit what you are looking for. Otherwise, you might try seeing if someone would make you one. Because of the lack of an editor for the Mac, I bought an inexpensive Windows box to do game editing.

 

[Sicarius]

I've got a question about the Editor....

In the "Scenario-Configuration" Editor, you can choose the factions. Now, here's the problem:

I want to choose:

France

Then I want to choose:

England

But I don't want to mark every faction between them. How do I do that?

Thanks for your help.

 

[Turner]

Ctrl-Click. Make sure you hold down Ctrl while clicking, or you'll lose them.

 

[ronanp]

haven't played in a few months and started up my old game. Is there any way to tell if I had my golden age yet? I can't remember.

thanks
