I can't make out the volcano is it in the dark area? So mean, I never cared for them being added to the game as I do not like random event. Disease was enough for me.

You can lose the game on the first turn from a Volcano eruption.

The volcano is at 12 from the Scout in the third pic.

The pity for the Babs, given bad CP, is that the right placement would have been at 7 of where Eridu was, but the AI CP algorithm doesn't avoid volcanoes like the plague (pun intended).

I've decided that I *do* like the various random disasters available... volcanoes, the plague, disease, etc. Sh*t happens.

Love it! I had that happen in an SP game to a rival settler and spear that were headed to my territory. They move atop an active volcano, and it blew, blowing them away. I must have laughed for 20 minutes straight. It was a thing of beauty.

A couple of turns later I settled the target area. Who says there are no godz in civ3???

The AI's stupidity regarding volcanos is the one reason I had to switch back from diasters on to disaters off.

In one of my first C3C games waaay back then, a rival civ (Hittites IIRC) built a city next to a volcano, then they got whipped by another civ until their volcano-civ was their last remaining.

Volcano erupted. *POOF* no more Hittites

btw, this led to a rather strange message: "Sir, the Hittites have been destroyed by the rampaging Hittites".

Then again, it wasn't so off. Their own stupidity did them in so it was a sort of collective suicide I guess.

Nice one.

Yeah, me too.
In my current game, I've seen at least 2 cities being destroyed by volcanoes. It's is a pity though that the AI has no idea to handle them.

I don't mind Volcanos. They are an annoyance sometimes, but it adds flavour to the game. I never build near them.

I've seen that once before. Unfortunately it was a turn after I had taken the AI city, and took three of my units with it. I wasn't even aware the thing was active.

Starting next to a volcano is one of the very few things that would make me move my starting settler.

I like volcanoes, and the fact that the AI doesn't avoid them. It's fun to watch them get themselves blown-up!

I once made the mistake of building my capital next to a volcano. I was testing a mod I had made, and in my rush to get to the testing, I didn't notice the volcano next door. The next thing I knew...

	Full PM-box? Change here!

The reason people live next to volcanoes, is the highly nutritient nature of the stuff they spew out. So I'm thinking of adding 2-3 wheats to volcano, and enabling road building.

What do you think?

That could be interesting, but people will just settle two tiles away and claim the goodies with the first culture expansion.

nutrients?

where I live, the only thing our dormant volcanic activity has given us is volcanic rock . of course I live in the desert as well...

I thought the nutrient-rich volcanic soil was common knowledge ...

It's part of the reason why so unreasonably many people live volcanic places.

Well, you can use volcanic rocks in gas BBQs. So, in a way, volcanoes can affect food processing...

Happend to me too! Well, actually to the Hittites. Took a while until I realized what had happen. Thought they just gave up and commited suicide... but finnaly noticed the volcano.

Vulcanoes only exist in C3C, so if you are play C3 or PTW you won't see them.

Yeah, I ment to write C3C instead
I've played many games of Civ3 and PTW, but I was tired of the game as Conquests was released so I only played few games of that
