tech race is boring in 1.17 . no diffrence at all between civs.
to much trading. Its not harder you can trade aswell if you just have money or a resource.. Its just faster and less fun..

Otherwise good improvents. But 1.16 tech race much more fun..]

riddle me this:

Why do the sam battery and the research lab have era specific icons? Why does the courthouse have era specific icons that are all the same?

Scenario support?

Well, unless my memory is completely faulty, I could check both "Ask for construction" and "Always Build Previous" in 1.16 and still get a build prompt. It was useful, as it gave me a good default build and also gave me control. Why can't I do that now?

I miss this feature as well. Any chance of getting them both to work simultaneously again as it did in 1.16?

I've received amphibious assaults from mechanized infantery. i.e. the computer attacked one of my cities with a MI directly from a transport. WTF? I was very suprised. I'll post a savegame whenever I have one. Maybe its just me, because my shiftA workers also randomly start altering existing terrain improvements.

And the computer players indeed implode upon rush/draft communnism.

I want an option for the editor to disable "trade communications" option in diplomacy.

Personally, I would like to disable this option for Civ3 so I can enjoy discovering the map.

bug report

I was in the military advisor screen and I had clicked on the armies tab and changed to another civ. When I pressed F4 the armies tab box stayed, listing all the civs. When I exited this screen the tab box stayed. Then I clicked outside of the box and it went away, except my cursor and keyboard no longer worked. The game did not crash and it wasn't stuck in any kind of loop, that I could tell. It was as if I had deselected the app but could not reselect. I pushed the windows button and then re-selected CivIII but nothing changed. I don't have a saved game because it locked up (or whatever). I also have not been able to recreate this. Has anyone else experienced this bug?

I don't know if this is a 1.17f bug or not, but I have been playing on 1.17f since for several weeks now.

[Edit] Well, I just got it to bug again. I'll attach it in another post since to can't attach in edit mode.

Here it is:

[Edit] The old attachment didn't seem to work for some reason, so here is a new one. Be sure to save as a .zip file and it should work.

After reading all these endless and justified complaints about Civ III, I can only conclude that Firaxis never playtested this game. Bad job, Firaxis.

Someone I know couldn't play Civ 3 because his monitor was reporting an error about the temperature being too hot when he started Civ3.
So I suggested to lower the temperature on his monitor just to see what that does and he changed it from 9900K to 9300K. Now the monitor is reporting a frequency out of range message when starting Civ3.

He's on Windows XP.

[Ethelred]

If it was the monitor itself that made the report than Civ III had nothing to do with it. The temperature YOU mentioned is the color temperature. 9300K is for use under flourescent lights. I have mine set to 6000K which is the closest to sunlight on mine.

If the monitor was actually 9300K it would be a rapidly exanding cloud of blue-white plasma.

Tell him to keep his cats from blocking the vents on his monitor. The refresh can be set in the Civilization3.Ini file. The readme says you can add this line to it.

Refresh=60

Most people would find that a low rate. If the monitor can support higher that would be better. 75 is usually considered OK. Mine is 85 but I set that for Direct X with a Radeon tweaker.

Is it just me or does 1.17f seem to create more problems then it solves?
