I think he didn't know what that means in Civ3... it's waaay different from Civ2.

The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

true,
the difficulty settings are alot different. sorry for snapping.While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.Comment

Happened to me too. And to make it worse (I CAN'T forget it), I had just set up a filler city, safe in the territory, and had saved up like 1000 gold. They defeated the Warrior I had in garrison, and proceeded to drain my hard-earned treasury.

When I went from Civ I to Civ II I read manuals, strategy guides, underlined, highlighted, started at lower levels, etc. etc., and it took months. This time I thought I would dive right in, even if it was just to get a good laugh. Oh well. Its off to the strategy forum. Thanks for the input.Old posters never die.

Here's some tip though, how you can use barbarians to your advantage.
On huge maps, with large chunks of land, ( like the Earth map , for example ) , There are always enourmous parts of land that are never colonized. That's good . very good. You venture into that wilderness ,with around a dosen of your toughest units at the time ( My favourite : Samurai ) but even an Elite spearman will do . Each time you disperse an encampment, you get 25 gold. Another encampment will respawn in a distance of 10 squares max. I don't know why, explore the map with your tough , ( and preferrably fast ) units, and get cash from land that wouldn't be any good for you while colonized, due to corruption.
Also, when you have a great edge over the AIs in land coverage ( once again, big land maps ) , a good way to gain money, is to sell distanced , ( often conquered ) cities to the AI . it would pay as much as hundreds of gold coins immediately , plus it would make payments of tens of coins per turn for 20 turns. Remember that you wouldn't get any money from it ( due to the fact that the little cash you would gain from it, MAYBE , would be lost on improvements , and defence ) , and probably would even lose money .
Some tips from me , to get you started . There are tons of other strategies lying around in this forum , read them , use them , and abuse them. Good luck !

With the latest patch you can't sell off cities to the AIs... too exploitable

oh well. I didn't try v1.29 yet, But I've already downloaded it. Did they reduce corruption ? ( not dramatically , but significally, I hope )Comment

A bit. And commercial is much better at reducing it too.Comment

Most of the best CIV3 players on Apolyton have a very tough time beating Deity, and for a newbie to try - don't even think about it! It's total humiliation.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

I'm thinking that not being able to beat deity is not really that bad, since the computer supposedly gets many advantages that the human player does not...therefore, it's not a big insult if you lose.
It's like trying to beat someone at poker who has an ace, king, jack and queen up his sleeve. If you beat him, wow, your good, but, if not, who can blame ya..While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.Comment

Oh....I guess I missed that in the readme. But you can never sell them? I'm not sure I like that...Originally posted by DrFell

You can still give them away anytime or demand for a peace treaty. People were using exploits such as selling off internal cities and watching them culture flip back a couple turns later, or selling them and then capturing them back the same turn.Comment

actually, I never captured them back right away, neither expected them to culture-flip . These were conquered cities sized 6-8 that gave me the generous 1 gold. I sold them to rather prosperous civilizations half world around , moslty cities with horses ( I made sure they've already had horses, and I had more than enough of them myself ). I think that it would be better that the AI would simply considered it itself. damn , sometimes the CtP series sound so good , with it's scripting powers.
