Oh, had an idea for a video series. Suede takes someone else's savefile, could be a bad start or whatever, and critiques and plays through the savefile, pulling victory from the jaws of defeat. Like a Civ-whisperer.
I tried skipping Nationalism to go straight for Replaceable Parts in one of my own games, and it worked great. I love watching your games by themselves, but watching your strategies have also made my own games more enjoyable too! I never thought i'd get back into Civ III until I came across the channel.
Love your videos, Civ III is a favorite of mine. The Arab war was a good use of choke points in the early phases. Holding an attacker at bay till you can build and move troops to take the offensive (at Thermopylae, appropriately). You mentioned video quality briefly, can confirm video looks great, compared to early vids. Playstyle so different than mine, not used to ungarrisoned cities, LOL.
Yeah, you just gotta be careful with right of passage if you do that. But if you need a right of passage, you can cut units off with a choke point, so they can't roam around your backline undefended cities.
Hey Suede loving the vids as always! Is there a reason why, when you were defending against Arabia, you would take your unit out of the city onto an adjacent tile before attacking?
Hey Suede. Great channel. I played this game for over ten years but haven't touched it in at least 5 or 6. I saw it was $1 on Steam today, so I decided to pick it up again. Are all functions available on the steam version? Map editor? Custom mods? I don't see the program files loaded like they were from the CD. Also, I remember commands called 'move all units in stack' or 'move all units of same type' that I can't find in the Steam version. Thanks!
Yes, all features are available. Unless you accidentally downloaded Play The World Instead of Conquests or Complete. The hotkey for stack move should be the "x" key. The file path for the game files (and thus the map editor) is different and a little hard to find on steam. You can see in this video. ua-cam.com/video/njNmtfIPRSE/v-deo.html
I've done more of them on my stream, but if you dig back far there's videos for Age of Discovery and Napoleonic Europe. I'd like to do Mesopotamia for youtube though.
There's a bunch of old guides around that REALLY emphasize WLTK day. Ive never heard you talk about it, and you don't seem to care about it at all. Is it not that important to push your cities into WLTK? Because Ive never bothered to micro that hard.
WLTK gives a reduction in corruption. I've never run the numbers, I always assumed the bonus was modest at best and not worth the cost. But maybe it's more significant. Can you link one of the guides? Might be better for me to judge the source of the claims, see if they seem to know what they're talking about.

That's a good idea! I've been meaning to do it.
i got the perfect save file for him

@Grant Jesus Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
You know you've broken the game when you're researching airplanes in the 11th century
Love the animation for the medieval infantry, just beating the fuck out of someone with a spiked ball😂👍🏻

안녕하세요. 제 생각에는 대륙 맵에서 하는 게 좋을 것같아요. 왜냐하면 화면으로 보기에 기타 맵은 너무 난잡해보여요.

There's no rivers it seems. If I had animate battles off, i might have done that so I could see the combat result more clearly.

Can you please do a 1k sub special video (when you hit 1k)
nice video btw
Can you do some more “conquest” games, ie: rise/fall and of Rome, Middle Ages, etc... it would be nice to see some in the future.

I'd like to do Mesopotamia for youtube though.
Oh I play Mesopotamia a lot, love the Babylonians, just personal preference. But you stream, on UA-cam? Or on some other platform, I’d totally watch!
Lol I’ve already watched age of discovery and Napoleonic Europe lol! 😂🙌🏻

ctrl-x. There's also buttons in the bottom right hand corner of the screen if you forget the hotkey.
