Civ3 Tip: Worker Sabotage!

[yaroslav]

This is a litte tip that I used sometimes in Civ2, but appear to me more interesting in Civ3. If you want to hurt a civ withouth declaring war, you can firm a Rigth of Passage Treaty. Then you move your Workers near a city that you want to starve or downgrade and start converting all mines into farms (so you slow a Wonder that the AI is working on) or all farms into mines (so you starve a city to size less than six) so, in the future, you can conquest the city easily!

I apologize for my bad english

This sounds like a fine tip that I might use once the game appears under the christmas tree...


I also did this in CivII, mining farmland or irrigating AI mines. Not friendly, but effective.

bah!

Leave the workers at home, and just stack troops right next to their cities and declare war. Much more useful.

This tip is usefull when you don't want a war. Sometimes, in Democracy it's stupid start a war, because weariness war probably slowdon your way to victory.

Most of my wars are for luxury resources, so i can usually afford the wars, as they add 2-3-4 happy faces to important cities...
