In the current game I'm playing, I have both coal and iron that would be within te radius of one city (my capitol at that), but alas, I an one removed to have it in place (not that the city needed it, it runs fine at 132 spt with a fact, Nuke plant and Mfg Plant).

I've voted yes, but that's not quite accurate.
See, I didn't upgrade to 1.22 until VERY recently. I've gotten the IW in several 1.15b games, and I expect to get the IW sometime soon in a 1.22 game. In fact, I have a site in my current game, were I willing to move a city 1 tile.

Well, just got it built
It is great. But then, I'm in communisim right now. Waste is very low. That town is getting about 66 production now with factory and hydro. Not bad for only having 1 workable mountain and no hills.
Argh.. Longbowman just killed one of my tanks... shesh. I'd love to see how that played out :P

That's how.This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

IWs are a rarity for me. My cities are placed before the resources appear.

So, how corrupt can those commie outposts be?Originally posted by Theseus
I'm with Solomonwi... yeah, sure, I've gotten the opportunity to build it, but in some crap town that I've got at 2- or 3-tile spacing on a coast in the hills, corrupt as can be.

Yes, true, I'll generally fix the problem by going commie... it's the time period from the discovery of Steam Power till Communism that drives me batty!!
The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

Guess I'll vote no. I've only built the IW two times since Civ III came out, and one of those was on a known map.

I'm playing 1.22, small maps and 9 out of the last 10 games I've played since 'rediscovering' Civ 3 I HAVE been able to build Iron Works. Aren't I the greatest?Random signature generator - Press Ctrl & W to see more!Comment

By the time I can build them they are a cool-to-have item but not a have-to-have item.

True, it's not necessary or even all that helpful in a lot of cases, but it can help push you into the 1 tank-per-turn range or give a nice boost for wonders if you're still competing for them.Comment

Personally, I love the Iron Works so much that I will abandon some cities and build a new one to get it.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.Comment

I think I have gotten it once or twice in C3C, a lot more times in previous versions of CIV 3*"Winning is still the goal, and we cannot win if we lose (gawd, that was brilliant - you can quote me on that if you want. And con - I don't want to see that in your sig."- BetaComment
