Civilization 3 - PC
Gametip:
--------
First you save your game with name: multi. Then you load this game. And you can
see all map. And if you want you can right-click and change enemy's product.
Cheat:
------
To get a very hi score without doing anything, go to the place you installed Civ 3
and find "highscores.cv3" and open it in notepad. Then type the info you need in
this order:
[Your Name],[Civ(0-16)],[Your Score},{Victory Type(1-8)],
[Win/Loose(1=Win)]
100,000 gold and PW:
--------------------
Start a new game and enter Leemur as a leader name.
Unlimited gold:
---------------
Note: This only works in versions earlier than v1.16f. Use a text editor to edit the
"script.slc" file in the "\ctp_data\default\gamedata" folder.
Add the following lines to the file.
trigger 'DOR_T_Give_Gold' when (IsHumanPlayer(g.player) &&
(player.1.gold<=200000))
{
AddGold(g.player,1000000);
}
Hints - Research:
-----------------
* When your research has 1 turn left go into the domestic adviser and start lowering
research untill the 1 turn turns into 2 turns then set it back up to 1 turn. In
the middle to late states of the game I can lower my research bar by 30 to 60
percent and still be able to complete the research in 1 turn while also getting a
lot of cash during that turn, as much as 500 to 800 cash for 1 turn for me in the
middle to late stages of the game.
* Also with the Research bar when you first start a research some seem to have a
minimum requirement of turns. even if you could get them done sooner i've noticed
several take like 4 turns or 6 turns... so if you have the research set up very
high, at the start of the program go into the adviser and start lowering the
research bar untill your turn to complete changes then you have found the optimum
setting for research for that advance. doing this gets the most out of research
while giveing you the most cash back. Although If your expences are running high
this doesn't help that much if you want to keep your account balance in the black.
Edit mode:
----------
Open the "civ3mod" file. This will open the game's editor, but you will be able to
edit units, technologies, civilizations unique powers,their stances, rare resources'
show up , time of usage, effects on tiles, and much more.
Hints:
------
When I got the game I started playing at Diety Level [thinking that since I am so good
at Civ2, I should be fine in Civ3]. Ah, to my suprise while I had maybe 3 cities the
computer players [16 of 'em] had 10+. I do not know how they get their settlers so fast.
Anyways I shamefully went down to Regent difficulty. Now that I have played a couple
of games [never actually finished one, just restarted a couple of times once I started
beating the computer...] I can say a few things:
1.Expansion is the KEY to winning the game or dominating the game
2.It is very wise to BUY technologies from the computer, or offer your extra resources
for the 20 turn period. This will get you cought up with the technology tree, i.e.
lets say I go for monarchy right away, this means I will neglect 'the wheel' and
'horseback riding' and I would buy these then.
3.Always have a 'MODERN' army ready to defend/attack.
Resources:
----------
1.It is quite alright for you to have 1 of each type of resource, that is all you need.
The more you have the better since you can use these for trading [luxury ones being
most valuable, I found]
2.Do not stress if you have no strategic resources in the beginning, you can still build
basic def/att units. You can always trade for strategic resources or even better you
can make surgical strikes to capture these strategic resources.
Attacking:
----------
1.I found that Horsemen are the best unit in the beginning. Mobility is very important
and the fact that a Horsemen will retreat out of combat allows you to save it [i.e.
retreat with it to town and rest it to full health].
In short: Horsemen are the most efficient unit at start.
Example: I had a fight with the Germans who had Iron [i did not] and built 10+
swordsmen. I defeated them with my horsemen. Then ended up conquering most of their
cities. They bought peace finally...by surrending 3 of their cities on the barganing
table :]
2.Concentrate your attacks just like the computer.
3.netputer has usually 2 defenders in town if Despotism, 3 if Monarchy, 2 for Republic/
Democracy and 3 for Communism. Why? For despotism/monarchy/communism this is the number
of units that help with happiness of the city, more than this is cost.
Defending:
----------
1. Always have attacking units in your border cities. The computer attacks in a bunch
of stacked units. Having attacking units in your town allows you to destroy a few
before they strike at you and the sweetness of it is that since the units are stacked
up your attacking unit does not leave town. So a good def/att stats are good (like
the Roman Legion, or Babylonian Bowman, or later on the Musketmen)
Remember: BEST DEFENCE IS A GOOD OFFENCE
2. All your border cities less than 7 must have Walls and at least 3 spearmen/pikemen.
Strategy for attacking:
-----------------------
1. Surgical and well thought out strikes are most damaging to your opponent. Best is
to conquer or raze towns which have thier Strategic Resources or to pillage ROADS
leading to the Strategic Resources. This will hamper their ability to produce units
that require that resource.
2. If you are bent on conquest: keep the pressure up and do not falter.
Unlimited Gold:
---------------
First make a backup copy of the file script.slc, which is located in
ctp_datadefaultgamedata. Then open up the original with any text editor and add the
following lines: trigger 'DOR_T_Give_Gold' when
[IsHumanPlayer[g.player] && [player.1.gold
Hint- Easy gold:
----------------
When trading with the computer, ask for 11111111 (as many one's as possible) gold per
turn and in exchange offer him anything (even 1 gold or your territory map). You can
also ask for technologies and gold when offering the same lump sum - 1 gold. With the
money you get you can buy buildings (when your civilization is republic or democracy)
or even all the computer's cities. After the 20 turns, though, your money dissappears,
but you can always ask for more.
Hint - Easy gold:
-----------------
After you have played for a while, and you have met other civs, start comunication with
them and ask for 1 gold *for 20 turns)and you give them 18 gold(lump sum)when the other
civs will get richer ask for more money (ex:10 gold per turn and you give them 180 gold
lump sum, you can even ask for more money.It's very nice for your future especially
becouse now you will get more money each turn and you can give more money to research
and that's it.

I was playing a random game of civ 3 recently. I was reviewing my diplomacy options by
clicking on my advisor. He'd give advice like: "the Persian's might go for some of our
saltpeter" or "the Aztecs fear our Calvary" or somesuch. I cycled through all his
responces once or twice and then he spit out this gem:
"Greece (the nation i was playing) will always win because Japan is stupid."
