Default KoE I - Civ III challenge

Both KR and myself reinstalled Civ III and have been playing this quite a bit lately. I'd like to have some sort of challenge for the game but I don't think a SG or PBEM will work out as RL stuff comes in between to much. Sometimes I can play a lot, sometimes not at all. So a gotm type game came to mind. Play in your own time and compare results with others.

Cause I'm seeing more CDZ folk have developed a renewed interest in CIV III (gotta love Steam where you can see what people play :P ) we thought we migth as well put the save up here so you all can participate.

Consider this a game similar to Matric Civ IV earthmap game. You can play it multiple times and try different finishes/improving score/improving finish date. Whatever suit you best.

The game

Iroquois (Miffy FTW!), standard map, continents, age/barbs/sea level etc all 'middle' settings, Emperor difficulty, C3C

Rerolled a few times to get a decent start. Can't post a screenie atm but the start has
- flood plains, including a wheat FP
- Gold hills in sight

Imo this is a fine start for fast growth and teching so even if you're rusty (like me) you should be able to win this fairly comfortably the first time round.


Some Civ III reminders

- Civ III is a micro management game, even though it's emperor you'll need to micro your starting city quite a bit as the Civ III governor qualified for his governing license by mail order crash course.
- FP cause disease
- unhappy = civil unrest -> see first bullit
- you can work tiles outside your city radius
- you only need to connect a resource to own & use it, no improvement needed
- you can build colonies



save & screenie attached!!


Spoilers are not necessary but always welcome.

The game is actually quite okay, certainly worth giving it a go. I'll try to place a score asap so you guys got something to aim at. Don't worry, BC is probably not doable. :P

The name of the thread suggests that 1 cow is close.

I've been playing some C3C for the last weeks before Quentin's birth. I might play a couple of turns when I find some time.

Ok, just finished it at 1300 AD. Domination vic.

Why this can be beaten (easily?):

- I had the governor on from turn 6.
- I paid minor attention to important aspects.
- turn 50 to 120 were not played sober.

Cheers.

For those who might enjoy such things, I've unearthed the old start planner (use fpwag to start and fpwagi to account for the flood plain what, agricultural trait, and irrigation):
