    The forum

    I`m only writing this to get closer to the title of chieftan.
    Now lets just think about that for a while.

    I just saw this text in another thread:

    Do you have some sort of elitist hatred for anyone without at least "King" by their name or something?
    Is it so that us settlers are beeing discriminated because we are just low ranked civ players and don`t know anything about civ tactics. Are our posts taken less seriously?

    I have been playing civ since it was realeased for the Amiga computers and I demand respect for my Sid Meier worshiping.

    to get away from the world, I use my computer.
    to reach out to the world, I use the Internet.
    To play the world, I use Civ III

    I am also a Settler (as you can see ) and I think I'm not discriminated.

    I read post which are interesting no matter who wrote them.

      Don't worry Albert, I feel the same thing occasionally.

      I have seen some "Settlers" make some amazing posts on really high difficulty games. If it makes anyone feel any better, I am just about to win Civ3 for the first time (never have the patience once I get to a certain point) and most Settlers who post here seem to be WAY ahead of me.

      The ranking thing is more an indicator of how well known you are here - most people recognise the Emperors, whereas Kings like me are commonplace and have certain groups we know. Give it time and keep posting where you feel like it and you will soon become as well-recognised as anyone. Just avoid the OT forum. Nothing but spam and a whole host of rather vicious posters.

        I got tears in my eyes and is grateful that someone replies to my settler post.

        good to hear that I can post what I fell like and always be welcome. It`s like a religious society.

        and to epics:
        If wee keep ut the good work on your thread: "Another unrealistic thing about civ3", we`ll probably bee kings very soon as our good friend MrWhereItsAt

        And to be honest, I don`t feel much discriminated, but settlers in here usually say stuff like: I don`t know if anyone have asked before, but I have to ask .......
        or:
        I`m a bit embarrassed to ask this question since I have been playing all my life...
        etc.

        I think settlers feels like the new boy/girl in the class, and it`s important for all civ3 players that we take care of everyone, if not, the players will immigrate to the dark side like Starcraft and RedAlert.

          THANKS MAN
          But, have you noticed, we are the only ones who post on the "Another unrealistic..." (and it's "unrealistic feature" )

          I didn't start like that... how did I start??

          Hey, what do you have to Starcraft and RA?? Those are very cool games. I play SC since the very begining!!!!

            Yes, and it seems like we are the only ones posting as well.
            Never did well in starcraft, but is finished with RA a long way back, don`t like that everything has to be done so quick.
            I usually say that Red Alert/starcraft/warcraft is tactics, Civilization is strategy, and in military terms strategy is covers a lot more than just tactics. BUT this is sooooooo of topic.

            But let this thread be a place for us to make smiling faces and come together deity and settler like one united group

            what am I talking about, sounds like a religious fanatic.

                  If that's how you feel, I'd advise you not to go over to CivFanatics. They have a "Newbie Patrol" there that can get rather annoying IMO.

                    If you go down the "forum jump" menu to almost the very bottom, you'll find the Off Topic Forum. People are free to discuss almost anything they like, not just Civ III matters.

                      I`ve heard rumors about this civfanatic forum. But let them grow old without recruiting new members, and in the end they`ll wanish and the apolyton forum will be the only true one.

                      off topic:The Amiga belonged to a friend (of course), and was a very good friend. After all he had the power. But noone can take away my Commadore 64 or "geana sisters tape." And I`m not sure about C64 being the forefront of computer industry. Would rather not see "press play on tape" to access the internett

                        Welcome aboard!!

                        If anything, I'd say the philosophy on 'poly is to help newer players progress, certainly not to beat them up... I agree with Willem about Civfanatics "newbie patrol" being a bit harsh.

                        As to 'where' you'll see the veterans, well, speaking for myself at least, we spent so much time last year battling trolls that whenever I see thread titles like "Another unrealistic..." or such, I just don;t bother. When the time comes to contribute to Civ4, I'll be there... for now I'd just rather focus on what we have and what we can currently improve (like the AU Mod).

                        Anyway, again, welcome aboard, and don;t be shy about asking "newbie" questions!

                          I didn't reallly notice this settler discrimination; sure, I feel jealous of those custom avatars.
                          Interesting thing also, I've been posting at CivFanatics for a little over a month now and haven't felt Zulu's wrath.

                          Scary thing about OT is: this topic is quickly becoming a candiate for movement to OT... So... who likes those Modern Armors?

                            Hey! OT is cool

                            Btw making up threads just for the sake of raising your post count is FORBIDDEN !
                            I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                              I remember when I was a settler, also when I was going up the ranks. I think that in the Off Topic forum and Civ3 forums that if you have low post count that people wont listen to you. Many times I have post of mine that are ignored. Even though I am king.
