Civ 3 Strategy guide is out!

[Andrew1999]

I saw the Civ 3 strategy guide in a store this morning. I flipped through it but I decided not to buy it since I'll have all that information in a few days anyway. It was tempting though!

A couple things that jumped out at me:

The new river valley terrain type produces 3 food, but if you are working it there's a chance disease will strike your city.

Strategic and luxury resources have a production bonus when worked in addition to their other use.

If somebody out there with less willpower or more disposable income wants to look for the guide, it was in the Electronics Boutique at the local mall.

Is that the tile called Flood Plain or something like that?

Yes, that's it. I presume that was that big brown smear down East Africa--it's the Nile Valley.

Well, I guess I'm the guy with less willpower since I went back after lunch and bought it.

I'll take questions from the floor...

Damn you Andrew1999... I won't go to bed tonight

[Andrew1999]

For starters, here's the difficulty level chart someone was asking for:

Chieftan: 4 content citizens, AI build rate 200%, Barbarian combat bonus 400%
Warlord: 3, 120%, 200%
Prince: 2, 100%, 100%
King: 2, 90%, 50%
Emperor: 1, 80%, 25%
Deity: 1, 60%, 0%

AI build rate is how quickly the AI builds stuff (on chieftan he takes twice as long to build or advance)
Barbarian bonus is the advantage your troops have over barbarians
There are also some other changes as level increases, like the AI is less like likely to deal and more likely to break a deal once made.

Sorry, there's nothing about scenarios included--that was one of the first things I looked for.

Something that shouldn´t require too much typing: What are the exact effects of the government types? What does 'worker support' mean?
