Here's a real plus to Civ 3:
I have recently returned to the forum after a five month absence. I am posting to see if anyone has ever beaten my 16,513 score, that I achieved only weeks after the original release.
The main reason I am asking about this is to defeat the old Civ2 insanity (still taking place on the Civ2 board), where a record attempt needed to be a huge project, probably lasting six months or so. I hope, as far as scoring goes, that my method will never be bested. I hope this not because I hold the record, but because my method is so easy that almost anyone can do it, and because it is so quick and easy.
Here's how to achieve the highest score:
1. Choose the Persians (on diety, of course)
2. Create a world with a tiny map, 60% pangea, cool temperature, arid climate, etc., etc., the least amount of usuable land as possible.
3. Choose only two opponents.
4. Found your first city whever you start, as long as hills and/or mountains are visible. If this is not the case, return to step one.
5. Go directly for Iron Working.
6. Build a phalanx and then a barracks.
7. If you have time before achieving Iron Wokring, build another phalanx. If you somehow still have time, go ahead and build a Temple.
8. As soon as Iron working is achieved, move to zero science, and start pumping out Immortals.
9. Wipe the world clean.
So there. Now everyone can achieve the Civ3 record for highest score. In fact, this method, with slight adjustments, has even allowd for me to achive an OCC Diety AC launch. Sorry solo-you still remian my Civ idol, however.
So has anyone done better than this? Please don't tell me that milking the game and endless micromanagement has produced a higher score. 16,513 will live forever!!!!! (even though I achieved before anyone bought the game, and now that many of you can do the same or better).
I hope that this will allow everyone to play the game and not really care about the scores they achieve.

Early conquest/domination games on a tiny pangaea maps aren't that impressive IMO, especially with the 1.07 rushing.
