No, the main goal at that point (until the maximum number of cities is reached) is to plant more cities. I plant cities in the places that are most likely to...
I hear what you are saying Kit, and I must admit that I didn't know there was a limit to the number of cities in a game... However, I still wonder wether you...
Yeah, you should be prepared to build less than optimum cities in order to defend certain strategic interests. ... Ryan Puckett - Ann Arbor, MI Waheguru Ji Ka...
It's necessary to be sure that you are getting essential resources when building cities. However, if possible, there is a pattern that yields maximium land...
Jim, that is what I allready do, however the way Kit was talking made me think that this doesn't necessarily yield the best results for your civ. Looks good...
Must say, I too would be intersted in the answer to question 2 though my personal offering is, I doubt it. As for question 1, I too have never repelled, but...
... Nothing - it stays part of the original civ. ... Accept the culture flip and then raze the new city. ... Yep. You can abandon any city which is of...
One method of limiting opposing civs' growth is to send a couple of groups of three units to within 2 squares of their closest border cities; then start with...
Right back at ya, Dude. There is no way to disallow the two squares around a city. The game does not allow anyone to put a new city within the two squares of...
I am not opposed to the method as sketched out below. There is nothing wrong with it. The ONLY time I put a city closer than that is when I am planting next to...
It seems to me that you could have it build settlers again and again until it can no longer build them (because it would deplete the city's population to...
Depending on how fast I can build Settlers and how much I want the opposing city, I just send out Settlers to settle in the squares right outside their ...
Question: What does the '*' mean when it's next to an elite unit? I notice that on occasion, when one of my elite units succeeds in vanquishing an opposing...
I agree with Kit on this. I use a similar stretegy to try to close in on other civs. The basic idea is to buils on two or three sides and immediately...
I am not sure if the * gives the unit anymore capabilities but I know it indicates that it cannot create another Leader. I remember reading that in the...
Yeah, that sounds good ... From: Jim To: civworldciviliationiii@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [Civworld Civiliation III]...
How do you win with the culture factor taken out Kit? No disrespect, but if you took this feature out I think you would have to seriously re-think your...
I can understand this in early level difficulties I suppose, but after Prince (not that I've ever played that high...) I would have thought that rival civs use...
No. the culture factor is in, but NOT as a means of victory. I win by taking over all other civilizations, by military force or cultural conversion or both. I...

Just wondering what people think about the importance of building many Wonders. I have successfully built every Wonder and Small Wonder in a game (Warlord,...
I've been wondering that too! I used to always build the Great Library as soon as possible, then drop my science funding and build up some cash while I...

There are two reasons to build wonders as well as Great Wonders. The first is to have the benefits they provide. The second is to keep your rivals from getting...

I appreciate the sarcasm, and kind of expected someone to make the point about the GL. However when (as I used to) I ploughed on towards Military Tradition...
