I love Civ3 and am just starting to get the hang of it. Do you know if it is possible to have the game no end at 2050?
What Civ do you play I find myself playing the Americans and English most of the time. Ropes |

Ropes4u... after 2050, the game stops keeping score, but you can choose to continue playing normally.
Great game for the most part... |

After several hundred successful hours of Civ I and Civ II, Civ III still gives me fits, so don't feel bad. A lot more things have to "click" for prosperity.

What civ does everyone play? I also love Age of Kings and Age of Empires. What I hate is when you are trying to build an army and run out of supplies.. but it is a damm fine game ;o}

I lost 2 entire months of my life to playing Civilization Call to Power (I'm assumming that is Civ II). Awesome game but VERY addictive.
I had a very effective strategy: nuke a city then drop in a paratrooper. Only Problem was I ended up with too many cities to manage. |

I know what you're talking about. I try to keep my civ small, with a few cities
As for resources, I seize whatever resources I need, I believe in big stick diplomacy. I started off my civ on the warpath starting 3800BC. And it took until 1500AD to settle it. I battled 3 civs simultaneously so it was a pretty significant drain on my resources. I had to delete the game because I almost didn't finish my college apps. Very addictive. |

Call to power is actual not civ2, it is a diffenent series by a different company throug some strange copright deal. They were in the order CIV1, CIV2, call to power, call to power 2, Civ3 and there was alphacentauri in there somwhere....
Anyway i am usualy the romans in CIV3 and i got all my college apps out without deleting my games :) and i got a full scholarship to one and into another already...[8D] of course niether of the are high on my list and the scholarship is to the one twenty minutes down the road so I there is no way in hell I am going there... |

Is it turn-based? I liked the 1st 2 OK, but prefer the RTS types like AoE and AoK...

Does the AI permit the cities you occupy to rebel? And do you have to face possible coups by your Army if you dont do well?
THAT would be realistic game play. I was looking for a game to buy just last week and couldn't decide between CivIII, AofE, or Samurai Army... |

Has anyone tried Empire Earth? You guys that like RTS games must check it out... its like CivIII only in real time... very similar to AOE or AOK, but in 3d...hundreds of units and techs. Its pretty cool, I like it alot!

ArmdLbrl... in CivIII...after you capture an enemy city, there are resisters present. If you don't fortify the newly captured town with strong military forces, the resisters will depose your governor and the city will switch allegiance back to their previous empire.
Army units don't revolt though... |

Guys you have to try Starcraft. The best part is the games dont last as long only a few hours. But you have a choice of three species. Human and aliens. It teaches you that you have to air, ground and space power working together to win a battle.

I'll have to install it again... been wasting cells with Ghost Recon. GR is good, but can beat it without injury on elite level every time now... |
