Recommend threads to a civ3-strat newcomer Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Hi, this is probably the first time I'm posting in the Civ3-strategy forum. Which threads would be must-read for a new civ3 player?

I've played 3 full games so far (Persions, Babylonians, Aztecs), and have only managed a victory by points.

Increase Your PM Length

Vel's Strategy Thread would be your best bet for picking up advanced strategies.

Be aware however that the new patch may have killed off some of the strategies listed. But by and large, it should still be valid and useful.

Good luck

Got spare money?

Avoid those with the phrase "it's a bug!" in the title, as they tend to end up being mudslinging parties.

Vel's thread is good. Also, see La Fayette's "Size 6 strategy." It is rendered somewhat obsolete by the new patch, but a number of good (and still-applicable) ideas are there.

Full PM-box? Change here!

I'm a newbie too. Is there a score board in this forum? I just want to know the current high score of the world record holder for Civ3.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

No score-board here as such, but there is one at CivFanatics...
The current high-score is around 10,000+

Good luck

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

10 000? Wow! I haven't been able to break the 600 barrier.

btw, Vel's thread was great. It's a manual all by itself! (read 199 pages long)

Thanks! I just went there and checked out the score board. No sweat, it's nice to know that I'm coming second. I will beat that 10,000+ score on my next game (deity level on a huge map with max number of civs; yup, that should give me at least 11,000+ points).
