Um, before I get started, I'd like to respond to Charis' previous post:
Now that that is out of the way (and yes, I did save frequently after my game froze the second time!
), let's get down to some serious Civ 3 action!
Schnarrd came to the presidency of America on a platform of peaceful building. He did not wish for any violence to occur, and was looking forward to a peaceful term, for many of his ancestors (bovine and otherwise) had the misfortune to be in office during times of war.
At first, he seemed well on his way to the peaceful term he had hoped for. Lasers were discovered and scientists set their sights on a technology called "robotics," for Schnarrd wanted to see what he called "radar artillery" in action (some cried that robotics should be researched in 2001 when Hal could be built, but no one knew what was meant by this). However, two turns into his term, an insolent ambassador marched up to the US embassy and, of all weedy things they could do, declared war! This ambassador was from the nation of *drum roll* . . .
France!
Schnarrd at first could not believe that the French would do such a thing. The US had mech. infantry, modern armor, and an immense air force, while the French had cavalry and two (count 'em) tanks. The French were getting over 100 gold per turn for luxuries. They even had a ROP! Then Schnarrd was hit by an overwhelming feeling of deja vu that eventually drove him completely insane. Driven by his madness, he vowed that every last French city would be captured or razed within 4 turns. (How is this possible, you say? Very easily.
)
Turn 1: Avignon is the first city captured in the glorious was against France. The shells from the modern armor assaulting the city spell out these words on the buildings of Avignon: You choose unwisely. Other captured cities: Rheims, Lyons, Bordeaux, Bayonne, Poitiers, Riga, Kharkov, Astrakhan, Tblisi, Exxon, Bizen, and Sapporo. A great leader, Jackson, also emerges from the fray and is used to rush the Manhatten Project in Savannah.
Turn 2: Schnarrd takes a turn to rest his army and upgrade a few tanks to modern armor. Only three cities are captured. He also sees that the American populace is unhappy with his recent acquisitions and increases his luxury expenditures by twenty percent.
Turn 3: The people are very unhappy with the war on France as riots break out all across the country. To pacify the people, Schnarrd increases luxury expenditures by another ten percent. Schnarrd also vows that next turn shall be the last of the war. Captured cities: Paris, Grenoble, Orleans, Tours, Marseilles, Chartres, Echigo, New Tours, New Marseilles, New Rheims, Sapporo, Echizen, Rennes. During this fighting, another leader arises from the fray: US Grant. He is stationed in Washington until further notice. Finally, the "Neighborhood Watch" is disbanded to prevent the unruly French citizens from rioting.
Turn 4: Dihon, Brest, New Paris, Matsoyama, and Kasuke are captured, while two obscure cities in Greece are razed. The smelly, backstabbing French are destroyed!!!!
So happy are the citizens of America after the end of the war that celebrations are held all over the country. During this time, scientists discover the secrets of Robotics, and Schnarrd is so enamored with Radar Artillery that he upgrades almost the entire American artillery corps to Radar Artillery.
After this scandal of unnecessary military spending, Schnarrd is promptly voted out of office.
Miscellaneous notes:
If cultural victory were enabled, we would have enough culture to win (110474). We are extremely close to domination victory, however if the next ruler does not desire to end the game, simply do not rush the temples in former France. Finally, Grant is awaiting further orders in Washington.
Good luck, Carbon!
Edit: Hmm, just realized that the attachment function doesn't work. Now that I've read the other RBD threads, it looks like I need to go to Sirian's website. Will do!
Game crashed in the middle of a really long turn. I don't have the time to replay all of that, so I guess I'll finish tomorrow. 
At least I got to Benevolent . . .
He's got two long, war-filled turns to take in Infantry and RBD4.
By the way, as a teaser, think about what possibly could be prolonging my turns so much. :enlighten
9, 10, 11 are all restricted city games. (Um, RBD11 is up to 1255AD already, it could be over next week
