I have played --i would embarrassed to admit to the actual hours-- tons of civ3 games now. I really like civ 3!
But the pattern seems to be the same.
Since i max out colonizing i usually have a weak army to start, so i will do almost anything to avoid fighting early.
So when it comes time to fight, the enemy civs always have 1 stack of 20-40 units and maybe 1 other smaller one. It would be a horrendous challenge to knock them down if it weren't for the fact that they DON'T use artillery (in 1 case they actually used a captured artillery against me and not my land).
Now since i do use artillery, It usually takes me about 3 turns to ground them down with artillery first and then wipe them out. Once their main force has been neutralized i go on the offensive.
(when they do have bombers, they always go after land improvements rather than my cities).
I still have fun 'cause i win
But, sometimes it feels like i am cheating.
DOes anyone else feel that the battle goes the same way?
(btw: if we are in the modern age, its just a matter of 3 nukes in the same place to take out 85% of the enemy forces that have massed)
