Yes...I got the one (I think it might be the only one) called 'Prima's Official Strategy Guide' (I think). It's pretty good. It fills in some gaps in the user manual. If you REALLY like playing Civ I'd probably recommend it.

This might be a fun little project.
Just collate loads of posts into a single FAQ + strategy guide.
Anybody up for it?
(too bad i suck a doing suck projects, otherwise i'd do it)

Noble. In all honesty, one could probably get more information from this board than from a book written before the game came out (and hence before the truly psychotic players go their hands on it).

I've found a very good strategy guide written by Dennis L. "Fox" Doucette .

I took all the document in text format in a word document more readable.

Here it is!

Do not hesitate to send him yours notes, remarks...
(its email adress is written in the document)

I hope everyone will make his remarks at the autor as he asked for in the document.
Thanks

Yeah, the thing about strategy guides is that they really cant keep up with the game.

I am a long time player of AoE/RoR/AoK/AoC and the strategy guides for those things were ****. They had what the producers envisioned the game to be like but thats not how the game was played at all. The book said to have (in the four ages of the game respectively) 8/15/25/45 villagers when in reality, the figures became 20/45/80/120... makes a bit of a different really...

So yeah, I gave up on finding good strat books and leech off forums

We should attempt to accumulate pointers and strategies to be used in faqs on this board. One of the most important...

What is the fix to play Civ3 in whatever resolution you choose? It was posted on one of these boards just a few days after Civ3 was released, bujt of course since then I couldn't use my computer beyond Civ3 long enough to actually make the file modfications necessary. That's one of those minor but important pointers we would all love to have recorded.

The ultimate guide will come from the gamers themselves after the ongoing experience of playing. In a forum such as this, it is a worthwhile long term project if all players serious about improving strategy take the time and trouble to contribute. A laudable example of this is shown by the Civ2 Strategy forum in Apolyton which has accumulated the combined wisdom of an incredible number of person-hours of playing experience now preserved in "The Great Library" there.
