Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

I downloaded your Bismarck save. I don't have the game loaded up, but CA2 doesn't seem to be having any trouble. It's coming up as C3C 1.22. Which save do you really want looked at? I'll load up the game and give it a go.

Bismarck was on Regent, but the Celts Warlord save is probably the one that would be best for now. One step at a time, and such.
 
Well its 8xxAD and you are in the first age. You have 8 towns and have not even seen all of your land mass. Running lux at 20%, not need at Warlord. Take a look at some of the SG's for train game in the SG forum.

I don't think any are at Warlord, but should be a Regent one. I put up a tutorial for Regent in the Strat forum that could give some ideas.
 
In addition to vmxa's good stuff, I'll mention, as usual, the Civ 3 Hall Of Fame (HOF) as being a good place to download top games at your level/map size/victory condition.

You can download the end-game .sav and run a replay to get a good idea of what's going on.......Or, look at periodic saves.

When you upgrade an elite it gets demoted to vet. When you upgrade a normal does it get promoted? I'm guessing no, but I need to know this for sure.
 
it doesn't get promoted but it will be healed fully if needed
 
Peace treaty + alliance question.

I had an alliance with the Americans against the Zulu. The Americans have done surprisingly well on their end of the bargain and it looks like they're going to finish the Zulu off.

If I re-negotiate peace with Russia to include an alliance against the Zulu, will my reputation take any kind of hit assuming the Zulu are destroyed by the Americans?

Sub question (which may render the original question moot):
I was previously at war with the Russains to the point of level 1 WW but I'm fairly sure I have been at peace long enough to run it down. Can I actually get WH from the Russians in this scenario?

No, the deal will be automatically cancelled with no-rep hit.

I think it requires 20 turns to run down ww; have you been at peace that long? Another thought, if you haven't been at peace for 20 turns, you won't be able to re-negotiate peace.
 
Thanks Buce. My peace treaty with Russia is open-ended so it's been more than 20 turns.

I'm really more curious about whether I can get WH if I've previously suffered WW; I guess I'll find out this weekend. :D
 
Hi, been awhile since ive played. Can anyone refresh my memory on how to create waypoints? Not seeing it in the hot keys.

My reputation seems tarnished; once at war with Russia the Americans won't trade lump sum for gpt until I pay 5:1, quoting my mistreatment of Russia.
I did not get war happiness from Russia, but that's neither here nor there since I eliminated them in a couple of turns.

If they quoting 'mistreatment of Russia', you must have broken a twenty turn deal by declaring war. Are you sure your peace treaty had run a full twenty turns? I use this tactic often to gain free techs by tying a gpt deal with an alliance against a soon-to-be-destroyed tribe, and have never suffered a rep hit.
