Well I had played them both off to attack everyone else, and when there was no one left, they came for me.

That's the one thing I hate, unless I'm on archipelago or maybe fractal, with any big island map one or two Civs will devour everyone else and become unstoppable

Ya Deity has issues. I hate that I have to turtle the early game and rush science so much. Immortal is just too easy now though. I guess its time to start doing mods. I hope the AI gets better at war for 6.

I've lost the last five or so games I've played on emperor difficulty just trying to learn different civs. So to repair my ego I loaded up a game as England on archipelago and am brutally introducing the world to British empire. Poor Denmark:

This game is so easy I don't even want to finish it. I had more fun with the five I lost.

emperor difficulty

I'm in the middle of a modded diety game. Gandhi suprised DOW me right when I was about to attack his neigbour and took out a lot of my fleet

Also the mods fuck things up so two of the civs I've completely wiped out can still vote and those little bitches always vote against me.

Also the new battle royal is getting pretty intense

I took Ghandi's sneak attack and took over the world. Deity military victory

* I had to disable the other win options to be able to do this, otherwise India would have easily got a tech victory.

This is arguably my secret favorite part of using mods, trying to find the one that fucks up everything in your otherwise "perfect" setup that makes the game feel fresh.

And it's always like 500 turns in or something.

For the 25 years of Civilization, The Three Moves Ahead podcast has a special episode with Soren Johnson (completed Civ 3, was lead designer on 4) and Jon Schafer (lead design on 5).

https://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/civilization-at-25

Lenghty discussion on the making of Civ 3, with Soren being hired to replace several major Firaxis employees who left to found Big Huge Games and having to ship something out of a prototype that was mostly Alpha Centauri with a Civ skin.

Edit: Also Jon saying he came around and now thinks stack is better than one unit per tile.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #381 on:** March 19, 2016, 04:09:25 PM »

stack is not better than 1 per tile. SMH

benjipwns · « **Reply #382 on:** March 19, 2016, 10:50:18 PM »

Civ III was all kinds of jank when it first came out, even compared to Call to Power II. Even the Complete is pretty garbage comparatively.

I think Schafer has said that before. I don't think he was involved much in either of the expansions.

I toyed with the three units per tile mod and thought that worked as a somewhat decent compromise. Also the one that lets you put different types of units but not the same on a tile.

They did patch up a lot of the problems the AI was having with the one unit per tile thing at release though. By BNW it was nowhere near as bad as it was.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #383 on:** April 19, 2016, 08:28:38 AM »

If they had decent AI then 1UPT wouldn't be an issue. It's much better in BNW but still not perfect.

The flat earthers who love stacks can go back to Civ IV.

Testing out my new i7 by maxing out the number of Civs and City States and watching the turns fly by in just a couple seconds

This may have already been talked about in the thread but I've been playing this recently and really enjoying it.
