How The Heck???

[hakeem-rj]

How can I play against more than 15 civs in Civ 3??
Please I am desperate, 15 is not enough for me!
I can create the civ, but when I start a new game and choose, I can't play against more than this damned 15!

Well, that's it...
Thanks!

That's the most you can play against unless you have PTW

[Stuie]

On the World Size tab in the editor, pick the world size you want. You will see there is a field for # of Civs. Change that field to the desired number. Save the .bic file. Launch Civ3 and enjoy.

It's impossible to increase it above 15 unless you own the Addon, which allows a maximum of 31 opponents.

However, 15 is enough for me, since it gets hard to keep the overview when there are so many.

hah! i agree with AIL
im sitting there, semi-peacefully, trying to figure out who i still need to declair war on, but NOOOOO. i cant just look at that screen, i have to bother to flip through ALL those other civs not displayed...

[hakeem-rj]

well, i gotta say that it's pretty funny when there's a lot of really small civs going to the war, everybody against everybody. i was playing on europe map, 16 civs, the aztecs declared war on me. i managed to get 7 allies, but so did the aztecs and their friends. so now it's 8 playing against 8!

I never play with more than 8 civs. I simply can't be bothered by the 'shift-right clicking' (or something like this) necessary to view all nations in the foreign advison screen.

[Tattila the Hun]

I don't play with more than 8 civs either, my stomach just can not take all that coffee.... (Slow machine... )

If you don't want to shell out for PTW then you can emultate the experience of 31 civs on a huge map with the following hardware setup:
(1) buy a can of paint (any colour will do, but I prefer mango-cream)
(2) buy or borrow a paint brush
(3) apply paint liberally to a large flat surface (a wall will do)
(4) sit back and watch it dry

[Kingof the Apes]

I'll take your word for it.

[bongo]

I tried playing civ3 on a P200 with 64MB RAM, almost the same experience.

[hakeem-rj]

I got the PTW, but when i am gonna play, it shows only 15 enemys to play against. what do I do?

[WarpStorm]

Like Stuie said earlier, open the editor, go to the World Size tab, change the number of civs for the size world you want, save your new scenario, load the scenario in PTW.

Oh, sorry to forget, but my editor isn't working, is there any unofficial map editor for PTW?

Buy a legitimate copy of PTW, open the editor, and change it on the world size tab.
