[Colonel Rhombus]

Excellent.

Q. The AI trading isn't fair! Is it?

A. Yes it is fair. Say the you want to trade gold for a resource that the AI has, e.g. Wines. If your empire is significantly larger than than their's, Wine will be more beneficial tp you than the AI, since you have more citizens that could be made happy. That is why the AI will sometimes demand what seems like rediculous trades, when they know a resource is worth more to you than it is to them. This has been discussed on several threads already:

Trading

Trading Absurdity

[Lucilla]

What are the different types of resources, how do I get them and what are the benefits?

Q: Why don't I have any Goody Huts.

A: You turned them off in the game setup screen. The is a check box for that with the 1.21f patch. Start a new a game and be be sure to turn it back on.


I think this checkbox was added for tournament games and maybe multiplay. Obviously its bad for Expansionist civs to have no goody huts though.

Global Warming: How it begins, how can be stopped?

Q. How do I add new music to the game?

A. There's a directory called ...Civilizaion III\Sounds\Build. There are 3 folders: ancient, IndModern, and Middle Ages. This was discussed on this thread:

Adding new music

[MarkG]

thank you for ignoring me

[Lucilla]

Markos,
as Zulu and I have a MPP, we can offer the following RoP:
You top this thread and Zulu will put a link to the FAQ in the general forum in his first post.
That way we have FAQ in the help forum as well (where it belongs, IMO), and if people don't find the answer in this thread, they have a link to your thread as well.

PS: this treaty will last at least 20 turns....

[zulu9812]

I wasn't ignoring you!

A, I couldn't find anything in your faq about changing the music. B, I don't know how to add stuff to it (I just looked at the first post and went from there). C, the FAQ should really be in the help forum. This FAQ is largely for newbies; the first place a newbie would look for help would be the Help forum. Still, if it'll make you happy here's a link to MarkG's FAQ:

The CIV3 FAQ: COMMON QUESTIONS/COMPLAINTS/ARGUMENTS and their ANSWERS

Perhaps, have either this FAQ, or the 'official' one topped in the Help forum as well?

[Lucilla]

Seems as if we now get ignored by Markos, sigh....

[MarkG]

well when i request for a certain way of doing things that is being followed for months to continue to be followed and i get diplomatic negotiations and claims that one can not find stuff that exist on the very first post of a thread, what can i say?

[zulu9812]

Q. I've added several units to the game, but the build queue is all mucked up. How do I fix it?

A. A lot of custom units come with an individual units_32.pcx icon. This has to be pasted into the units_32.pcx icon sheet, located in ...Civilization III\Art\Units.

You can download icon sheets with icons for lots of new units here

[notyoueither]

That's balls zulu.

Hey Mark, how about giving these two the opportunity to suggest updates for the 'official' Poly Civ3 FAQ?

Also, place a link to it somewhere more prominently here in help, as well as in General and Strat.

That way, you channel their energy into something constructive, and you cut down on the number of repetitive threads seeking answers to the same things over and over...

or, top a thread here and in Strat with the first post being a link to the General thread, and then these guys can go to town there...

Just a thought.

Hey Mark, how about giving these two the opportunity to suggest updates for the 'official' Poly Civ3 FAQ?

everyone on these forums ALREADY has the opportunity to do just that notyoueither and it is as simple as posting in the correct thread....
