Therefore a Warlord level early city at 3 pop, without a temple is working 3 tiles, wheras that same city in Regent is only producing 2, and 1 entertainer.ġ.) expand hard out of the gate, as soon as cities hit 3 pop, make them produce a settler, if they get to four, whip it out of them.Ģ.) when you want a city to grow build a temple and cathedral first.ģ.) Forget about early wonders, start building a "palace" to save enough shields for Sistine Chapel, it the only thing you really need. It is harder, quite simply because more citizens are unhappy at lower population levels. If anyone has any suggestions, or can just sympathize it would make me feel better.
In Alpha Centauri I found them to be insane and havent yet tried them in Civ 3.Īside from building roads from city to city I tend to automate (full automation) my workers, although Im considering stopping that since Im disturbed by their tendency to build irrigation a bit too much for my taste. I find if I dont get the Great Library I cant keep up in technology even from the start.Īlso if I dont get Adam Smiths trading company Im toast as well.Įven with somewhat smaller numbers Im able to beat the computer (most of the time) in a war, so military strategy doesnt seem to be a problem. I tend to keep up in technology until around the early to middle industrial age then begin to fall behind, even to smaller nations that are so advanced that they couldnt have just traded for all those techs. I like to play on the large maps (Id play Huge but the time between turns can take too long). Here are some attributes about my game play style that might provoke some good tips: I eventually fall behind in technology (despite being larger than any other civ), and several nations will gang up on me eventually. In Regent I seem to hit a wall and even when I get a good game going. This is particularly frustrating since none of the previous Civ or Alpha Centauri games were difficult for me to advance from one level to another.Īt this point Warlord is terribly easy (and boring) for me now and Ive usually got the game won (or it is a forgone conclusion) long before the modern age. Im having some problems moving from the Warlord to Regent difficulty level.
