Apolyton Review: First Impressions: Day 5

The last of MarkG's "first impressions". The full review should be posted in a few days...

Before i start a general note: Civ3 is a new game with important changes that require new strategies. A great example is Comrade Tribune's strategy tip on using cities with lots of corruption. Check it out in our strategy section.

On the science advisor screen you can do two things:
- Change what you are researching at any time
- Set multiple goals for your research(with an exact order)


A long list of names from not that siginificant civilizations and tribes appear in barbarians and goody huts

I've looked into the manual to see what the "give them some entertainment" option does but could find anything. Any clues?

Small trick. Does your opponent have colonies on some good resources? Build a city next to them and he's gone :)

Great Library rocks! :)

Agreeing to an alliance means instant war. No wait to actually attack the common enemy....

Clicking on your unhappy citizens gives you the reasons of their unhappiness. The numbers are the average of all of them together(e.g. you dont get to see what each specific citizen is unhappy about)

One big happy world...

It's not shown there, but i had peace, passage and protection pact with the Egyptians as well.

In the end the Egyptians attacked me and therefore the French declared war on them...


No rubber, no fuel cells. No fuel cells, no space ship victory. And only the French had rubber and they wouldnt trade it(why should they?)...

One big selfish world :)

With the ability to negotiate votes with the other civs, diplomatic victory is "half" of what it was in SMAC


Good allies are hard to find. A city of mine(yes, it's named Microprose.com. So what? :)) defected to them but they returned it back!

Tip for not having your cities defect: keep them happy, have more entertainers than what it needs to not be in disorder
