Taking a reputation hit for betraying the Mongols. This might be a first in history.

All great tips. In a game i was kinda weak. The strongest nation hated me and declared war on my. The second most powerful nation completely surrounded me and we were cool. Got them to stop trading with them. So they could only attack AROUND THE WORLD with their navy. I was able to hold them off until i got better units by trading tech and then i attacked them through land.

Chat GPT prioritaizing trading tech is something to be considered.... Epic stream!! This will go down the Ages!!!

Yeah, using GPT 4o-mini was a mistake. Whenever my free 4o time runs out and it downgrades to 3.5 or 4o-mini GPT goes from somewhat clever and consistent to demented goldfish. Playing with the larger model would have been interesting though.

Hello , i have played some recent games on regent, care to take a look ?

How does 'rank' corruption interact with cities built in rings ie. equidistant from the capitol? You said the ring strategy no longer works but how can that be reconciled with 'rank' corruption?

Did I see chatgbt suggest using Droman and catapults together? That seems interesting 💥

"We're going to start off by dumping the 'Palace Mini Game' in F-tier." I have not seen that method for declaring war.

Is "no Portugal" a meme? What is the meaning? Or why is the absence of Portugal consequential?

I would put both strategic and civ traits both down two tiers. Only one copy being necessary for everything felt awful and boring, it's passable but barely. Civ traits felt alright but kinda boring, its good for balance and has its perks, civ 5 and and even more civ 6 did go a bit too far, worst of both worlds, where it's both unbalanced but ultimately each civ is not really unique enough.

Watching this years later, the end is funny! I was watching it thinking .... wait isn't Rome over 25%? Space race victory would still be theoretically possible since its Monarch AI and they don't have a huge build advantage. If they are in Fascism they will kill their own science and hope to squeak out a victory. But that home island is super small for tech.

Palaces FTW

naval supremacy, not naval priority

My favorite unit in this game is the curse missile.

Ok sorry dude......FRIENDSHIP ENDED!!!! PALACE MINI GAME IS THE GOAT!!!

I can't find part 5, can someone share a link please if im being blind? Cheers

The Tech trading mechanic is what fundamentally sets apart Civ3 from it's successors my opinion. It just makes sense that Civilizations would boost eachother's technological advancements and it helps to simulate the real world a lot better.

Why they delete Byzanthine and Carthage?

You can paradrop someone and build a helicopters but you can't build a railroads xD

10:49 Why do you need the luxury slider, if you still have a sad face after that?

The single funniest strat imho! This brings me way back... I did this all the time LOL

What mods are you using?

I just found a picture of me playing civ3 on our old computer. It was an very good game but I recall only wanting to play if I had Snoopy’s enhanced graphics, with enhanced roads. Also, corruption was such a bad mechanic, and late game eras weren’t nearly as fun as ancient and medieval eras. Playing in the modern era was a pain (pollution, pop a tank every 1 to 3 turn) that needed to be eased by finishing the game asap 😅

think cure for cancer is also undervalued here. though can't prove it

Smith's cuts expense dramatically, he's wrong on that also

Leonardo is incredibly useful - medieval/longbowmen to guerrillas, guerillas to TOWs, musketmen to rifles to infantry to mechs, tanks to MAs...esp with prebuilding ton of tanks to upgrade

It's so nice that someone out there has made guides for this game, even though it's so old. Going back and actually learning how to properly play the game that shaped my childhood has been a blast!

That was brutal to the palace mini game 😂

Suede need more please!

"we can pull outta ya mama and then just go down south" (c) Suede

The one that always pissed me off was the option to loan gold. It could be cool but I’ve never got it to work

Good tier list. Never played chinese but 100% agree w/ top and bottom otherwise and did not look at the rest.

I hated so much corruption in giant earth maps, the city limit is so stupid and awful

Um... did this video miss espionage?

Hi, just discovered the channel and been binge watching all your videos. Been playing for 15+ years and learnt a lot. Could I be cheeky and ask if you'll do a video on playing as the Russians? I've always played with them.

Civ III's civilization bonuses are generic enough that you can pick up any civ and not be shocked by the mechanics, but special enough to give variety to play style. Civ III is one of the best in this respect, similar to the civs in Age of Empires II, especially before Definitive Edition. It's not that each civ is relatively cookie cutter, but rather that bonuses synergise - or work against each other - in Civ III enough to make learning easy but mastering them hard. Civ III is generally pretty balanced all around and not too grandiose. It's a shame you can only play it on PC, as I would kill for a PC-style Civ III on Android.

Luxury slider is D tier to me. Just compare it to the science slider: 1) Does not interact with buildings in any meaningful way, unlike the science slider 2) Awkward 2-tier system of happy/content faces 3) Zero flavor. Like, exactly how is it turning money into happiness? The fact that its known as the luxury slider when it's called the "Entertainment slider" in the Civilopedia is telling. You can't really conceptualize what it's doing (unlike more money for scientific research, you can imagine extra researchers running more experiments). What kind of mechanism creates happiness equally over all cities? Entertainers are far more intuitive, even though they suck.

How can say armies are fun cause they make you feel powerful but put SGL in F tier!? Insta-Wonder makes me feel SO POWERFUL!!! Fun as fuck.

Disliked because F tier palace

Culture flips are absolutely disgusting and random, I always disabe it. A dying civ existing only in a solitary island in the middle of nothing can flip your long-ago-conquered city, even if there are no more pop from them and no borders at all.

Workers can be air lifted. Nice job as usual.

Left out E :(
