What Civ3 Should be Like

[D0NIMATRIX]

I have altered some of the rules in Civ3 without completely changing the game. There are some slight changes, some of which can only be seen in the editor, because I didn't want to hassle people to place the files in the right spot. I have made two mods, one that goes on standard games, and one that includes a world map (Marla Singer's World Map).

Try and include some documentation. Here's what I've found different from standard game. Probably only scratches the surface

Marines and paratroopers are given massive attack upgrades. (Bad for Game balance)
Entrainer entrain to citizens instead of one (See above, only in big red letters)
New Modern Marine unit. 20/8/1, 180 shields, available with Synthetic Fibers.
Smith's Trading Company gives a marketplace in every city

In the original game, paratroopers are terrible units, because what they are good for is landing in enemy turf and surprise-attacking them, so I needed to beef up their attack, as well as the marine's, but I may have made them a tad bit too powerful . Entertainers entertain more because now cities can grow much bigger because of bigger city limits and more productive terrain, so the huge population needs to stay calm. There's a modern paratrooper, so why not a modern marine ? I don't know what I was thinking putting a marketplace in every city, I'll change that. I do think that I beefed stuff up a bit too much sometimes, though .

Thanks for the feedback !

That's just because you don't use them to optimal effect.

Read this and be wiser

I know, that's what I always do, but it never works, the AI just kills them !

I've uploaded the final version plus another map, so just click the link in my first post here.

try thinking 'Checks and Balances', keep the power evenly distributed in the future, at least thats what I see.

 

[Lord_Megahertz]

Like the empires thing. Nice idea.

@Roman Legion

What do you mean?

 

[Roman Legion]

I was agreeing with Miles Teg, the on the levels of power in which you gave, they were not distributed well.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

What, like modern paratroopers? I fixed that.

 

[Roman Legion]

yeah, did you reduce the power of both marines?

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I believe I reduced the power of the 2nd, and the first I think I left alone, because marines have the element of surprise on a naval assault.

 

[Roman Legion]

I do not believe they are that powerful realistically, I suggest keeping the units around the same level of power, and slowly progress their power with technological advancement.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

But defensive bonuses with the higher defenses are incredibly good, so marines end up facing enemies twice as strong as themselves, so I just ramped up their atk a bit to compensate for that somewhat.

 

[Roman Legion]

Maybe its just me, but I do believe its too much, I will leave this up to others to decide for themselves.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

If you want, you can alter it and post it up, I don't mind. Let's let the others decide.

 

[Roman Legion]

I may, given I have the time to do so, but I would rather just keep the vanilla rules the way I have them.(Very Close to standard)

 

[Lord_Megahertz]

I like dominatrix's rules, and find the large cities, low corruption and huge conscript armies to be pretty cool. I do find his empires adittion a bit tough to play though.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

The Empires thing is special. It's meant to get fun a few dozen turns into the game, so huge wars are possible and fun. If you want short turn times, play as the Roman Empire area or the Persian Empire area.
