Thanks a lot. I hope it's not pushing it but could you try a game with the germans just to see what colour they are?

It' just stat/UU/World Starting place wise they're my 'civ of choice'

Is that considered illegal? I dont think so...

Civ 3 manual is a more detailed FAQ and we should have it because such civ fanatics like our self (using this forum as a chat ) have far more questions then casual player.

Also we won't tell anyone not belonging to civ fanatics community so there is no harm at all.

I just learned from another post that disease is in the game. Can you confirm this BlueHooHoo? Is that in the civlopedia? It might be in the section that talks about rivers!

So far none of my little people have turned green and dropped dead; no doubt it’s only a matter of time before they start dropping like flys!


It's little touches like this that I love. This is so damn cool.

BlueHooHoo, can you give us impressions of the quality of the AI? Are your governors and opponents competent? Have they made any stupid errors, or performed any cunning maneuvers?

And, something I am personally curious about, can you name a colony?

BTW, thanks so much for what you've given us so far.

Tired of ads?

Regarding the Civilopedia entry about Monarchy, it seems that Civ2´s commerce bonus of Republics and Democracies (additional 'arrows' in worked tiles) is gone. I guess Civ3´s goverments will feature bigger differences in the level of corruption and waste instead.

Wow - the number of units you can support for free is determined by the size of your cities. I assume that town, city, metropolis means the size of the city. Town is below the Aqueduct limit, city is below the Hospital limit, and metropolis is above Hospital limit (unlimited).

I've seen military advisor screen shots where the number of allowed units is zero. I'm assuming this was due to government type. So I'm guessing that under Democracy, towns, cities, and metropolises all support zero units for free, and thus all units must be paid for.

Also, now we know that under monarchy you can rush buy improvements but not speed them through forced labor. So Uber won't be running any of his "Death Camps" under monarchy.

Thanks!

It is becoming very clear to me that this Civ3 will stronly disfavor isolationism. In both Civ 1 and 2 I kind of liked to get an island all to myself and develop a whole lot before I went anywhere. Map making and ship building were my last priorities.

I can tell that Civ3 is the other way around. You absolutely must explore early and often!

SNOOPY - I don't have an editor It may be that the version I have been given to use has some features missing, it's a full review copy, but I'm not certain if it’s identical to the final retail version. No sign of an editor in the documentation either. I'll try and find out what has happened to it (?)
