TOUGHUSAGUY
It seems that you have register today just to post your article.
So, let me guess:
you are an older member, and you created a news accompte just to publish this insanity.
What does it mean ?
You not enough brave to keep your usual nickname.
Why ?
Your article is not enough honourable for your usual nick?
Yeah ok. So why do you post it ?
Better would have been to say nothing.. panag
?
And the us flag you use say very much about your sad reality: another mask to give a justification isn't it ?
Good night

Hey TOUGHUSAGUY, you want to go to Off Topic and post this "only western countries count" crap as a thread?
I'd love to debate it with you, but there's a time (more important, a PLACE) for everything.
Or haven't you got the balls?

Jo Buck seems genuine to me. Jo Buck seems willing to admit mistakes and oversights, which is not usual Troll behaviour.

TROLL
Hi guys,
Just to let you know that I had never visit this forum before my registration as jobuck, and that i have never use any other nick.
I'm also not aware on "TROLL" issue and so.
My life is quit simple and I have better to do than annoying peoples with my post or whatever you may think.
Okay. My first rts game were civ. I still have the package here, containing 2 x 5'1/2'' disks.
Two weeks ago, I went to the supermarket, and I saw civ3. I bought it, and I'm playing to it since.
While I was loosing some battles, I have look for a web site simply talking about this game. I found this one, and I have post an article just after loosing a game, because I was not very happy about some aspect, even if I realize today that I should now ensure to have mastered some important points on civ4 before posting flamming like article.
My initial disapointment can be summarized like this:
You spend time to construct your civilization. A minute after, you are involved in a war that you don't ask for, and you (me, okay) loose all what has take you hours to build. That were frustating for me, and thank's to this forum and people like spiffor, Louis XXIV and others who had help me to understand some important point that I have to say, I haven't understand.
Now, I can say, I like much more this game, and I will probably not write again words like "unfair" or "not good game".
Note:
I'm not here to justify myself, no body ask me that.
I'm a german guy, proud of my country, opinion and freedom, with some origin in switzerland.
I'm a peaceful guy, and nothing in what I have say is aggressive on my point of view. So I will certainly not regret anything about what I may have say. I just will not go out of the topic next time. Okay.

I think that if you want win with this game, you have to understand the civ 3 strategy, and then you have some chances.
That's why, civ3 is not a good game for me !

 Every game(video game or not) requires you to learn the strategy of that particular game.  Otherwise whats the point of playing that game?
Some games have very simple rules and strategies. Others do not. I would have to say Civ III is on the complex side of the spectrum and therefore, if you arent interested in learning the aspects of the game and want to dive into to playing time right away, then I dont think its the right game for you.
I goto the arcades alot w/ my friends and theres always newbs that hangs around wit us trying to beat some of my real good friends. And they pretty much whine in the same way saying "Oh this doesnt work, but it should... the game is unfair and agst me etc." Its a basic newb mistakes. Once you get over the fact that the game isnt supposed to run the way you exactly plan cause ur opponent is trying to win the game as well, You'd be doing alot better.

Something not very clear:
I have a unit fighting another:
Sometime, it win against one other unit without loosing any health point, and sometime it loose all without the other loose anythink (the minute after).
Where come the ADM here ? Is there a random factor of success that have more importance than the ADM ?

Here's how it goes on combat ;-
The Attack number of the attacker is added to the Defense number of the Defender.
This Total is used to work out each round of combat.
A random number is generated. If less or equal to the Attack number, the Defender will lose a health point. If more, the Attacker will lose a hit point.
The fight goes on until one side or the other is defeated (or a fast unit like a horse retreats from a slow unit like a spearman).
To me, if I win an attack with a Tank, the 2nd attack will probably not succeed (Tanks and Armies can BLITZ, that is attack as many times as they have movement poinrt).
So yes, every attack is random. But high value Attackers will USUALLY defeat low value Defenders.
Oh Jo Buck, you might like this thread on AI attitude - making friends and enemies.

One point I did not mention - there is an option to "SAVE RANDOM SEED". Some people save Preserve instead of Save, but it is the same thing.
With this option on, all battles will be played out with the random seed kept.
With it turned off, you can save your game and keep replaying the combat. If you lose, just reload and get a different random result.
MANY PEOPLE say this is cheating - but it can be useful to keep confidence when learning the game.
Also, as many other posters have said, start to learn on Chieftan difficulty. When you can beat that, go up to higher levels.

It's still hard to accept to get 4 health point and loose againt the same unit having 3 health point.
As well as that there is no way to avoid a war when you start a game and that your territory become large.
I know, I know, I have to learn the best practice.
But I just mention that it's hard to accept.
So, I'm ready to start a new game *and this continu again and again..*

Like Louis X1V says, the terrain the defender is in can make things very different.
Mountains are best to defend in - defense is doubled (100%). Hills are next best at (50%) and the same is given to rivers (50%).
A city with walls also gets 50%, as does a city with population 7-12. A population 13 or more city gets 100%! Pity you can't build cities on mountains....
DON'T DO THE FOLLOWING UNTIL YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE GAME. I like Civ because if you are playing with the latest patch (1.29f), download from
http:www.civ3.com
You can add extra units (100s of different types) and mod ("modify") the game a lot with the editor. OK, there are limits - but it's a game you can play again and again and have a different game every time. Like I said, save this for when you start getting confident, and have lots of warriors and archers at the start to deal with the other civs.
If you are attacking a unit with the same kind of unit, wouldn't you expect to lose about half the time? Remember, in real life, the defender always gets the advantage. So having a large military is a good idea in Civ.
Also, do not confuse the barbs ("barbarians") with AI civs. They are kind of a random civ that springs up in unpopulated areas at the start of the game. As Civilisation spreads out, the barbs die out. That is why at the start, keep your military units checking out for barbs & barb camps. A barb camp, successfully attacked, gets you a gold bonus. MUCH better than waiting for the barbs to come to you.

Jo Buck, one thing to remember;-
The map generator does not give the same kind of start every time.
Some starts for games are much more difficult than others - and it takes a lot of knowledge to spot a difficult start.
I wish you luck with your quest - but I think you are trying to run before you know how to walk.
Don't say we didn't warn you. Good luck!

Cruddy:
You warn me, but no way, I won't give up.
It's very frustrating already to loose, so go down to one level, I cannot.

I would like also to mention that the day (or couple of hours) were I will win, I will also ask the others countries to give me the map of the world and 50 gold.
Something they seems to like to ask me very often.
