At least 300 shields and 1000 shields at most.
PC = C * 6 * 100 / OCN.
OCN is optimal city number as per editor, C is amount of cities and PC is palace costs.
Cost of the palace for C3C
Cost of the palace for C3C One of the things that Ive always wondered is how the game determines what the palace will cost. So I decided to make some tests to get it cleared out. After extensive testing I came up with the following results. The test was made with C3C 1.22: - The number...

depends on how much AI hates at the moment . Trying to use it as a prebuild for a wonder ? 300 or 400 , so that you will be missing it by 10 or 20 turns . Need it so that you can change the capitals , gift a city to AI and move your entire armies across enemy infested seas ? 800 to 900 ...
why do you prefer GOG to Steam.

By and large, GOG's client (Galaxy) is a lot less intrusive than Steam's.
It's not even needed for installations (if you knew what you're doing) -- and even if you use it just for that, you can then leave it permanently turned off, and it won't force 'updates' on you that break your games (whereas Steam broke my Half-Life installation permanently, and later broke a stack of Civ3-mods when they re-enabled Multiplayer).
got it for $1.75.

You can automate workers to perform only one automated worker job, among them build roads and build railroads to a particular destination or roads to build a trade network. You can find the shortcuts for it in the Concepts part of the Civilopedia:
You can also use the advanced buttons for the automated worker jobs (the function of the automating buttons and their shortcuts are explained when hoovering with the mouse over one of these buttons). Marked by red arrows are the buttons for building road and railroad to a particular destination:

Yes. Ctrl-R is "Build road to..."
And you can make the "Advanced Worker Action" buttons visible via the Conquests Preferences menu (Ctrl-P while on the main map-screen).

The GOG offline installation is not very complicated and here you additionally receive an electronic installation file that in the future you can use like a CD installation of Civ 3 Complete without needing a CD drive. Attached is a screenshot for explaining this in a German Civ 3 forum, but I think the image is self-explaining:
Additionally to the very important arguments, that tjs282 has listed above, nearly all great C3C mods and scenarios were created before steam had that "glorious" idea to destroy all older C3C labels texts by inserting a line "Unknown" in the middle of the steam labels text file and to play havoc with the texts of C3C. Therefore for playing nearly all of the great C3C mods and scenarios, steam users need an additional patch of that file.
Also important is that the Flintlock mod, which offers a cornucopia of fixed and new options to C3C, is developed with the GOG version of Civ 3 Complete. This mod also has an adaption for the steam version, but that steam version is something like the "fifth wheel on a car".
The steam version of Civ 3 Complete only has an advantage, if you want to play tons of C3C multiplayer games.

Not all was in vain. You additionally explained, how to find the advanced worker buttons while playing C3C.

Would giving Artillery (or Radar Artillery) "lethal bombardment" be too much?
Yes.
tjs282
Stone \ Cold / Fish
Yes
They are already quite strong. Shoot and then move is huge. They seem to hit with much higher frequency than arty.
16*3/(12*2)=2. Radar artillery hits about twice as often as regular artillery.
12*2/(8*1)=3. Regular artillery hits about thrice as often as cannons do.
Of course this only applies as long as the target is strong enough. Against a Longbow the hit frequrence is about the same as the fire frequency.

F8 gets you to the game-progress screen, then there's a pull-down menu in the lower left corner that gets you to the Score/Power/Culture graphs
