No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

I like the larger number of civs, the larger worlds, and larger city and unit limits in Civ 3.
I like the speed and combat model of Civ 2.
Has anyone figured out why the game stops cold for five minutes whenever an unconnected piece of road gets connected?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

The Cold War ala Civ3:
AMERICA: Hmm....I'm going to steal a German tech. Maybe nukes?
RUSSIA: I'll steal your tech then.
AMERICA goes broke and falls into a depression.
RUSSIA goes broke and falls into a depression.
Oh well

Could anyone tell me wht exatly is so bad in civ3 combat? I think its far superior to the civ2 kill-one-unit-on-a-tile-and-they-all-dieQue l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.

Well, that and the ZOC make combat more strategic, compared to moving around a stack of doom.Comment

The kill-one-unit-on-a-tile-and-they-all-die thingie is from Civ1 IIRC.
And if you want strategic combat, play CtP...Comment

No it was Civ2 also. Best implementation IMO is SMAC, where other units in the stack don't die but take collateral damage.Comment

Yes of course. Since the trades depend on resource availability, which depends on road connection, every road connection requires a recalculation of all trade routes. With a normal map size and 8 civs this takes not much time, but if you play huge (or even ultra-sized) maps with 16 or more civs on an older computer model, it can take up to minutes. Imagine how many roads are on such a map, how many resources and how many possible trades between how many civilizations.Originally posted by The Mad Monk

The same happens on other occasions too: When a road is pillaged (for obvious reasons), when war is declared or a peace treaty is signed (trade routes can't go through hostile territory), when a harbor or airport is built (naval and air trade) or destroyed by bombing, when a civ discovers or trades for Astronomy or builds the Great Lighthouse (sea trade), Navigation or Magnetism (ocean trade).
But that takes so long only on very big maps with many civs, so better make sure you play such maps with a state of the art computer.Comment
