Most nations have something that makes hem playable. The UU of Korea is the Hi'watcha (sp?). It is very handy as it can kill and it can make a leader. There are write ups around on all the nations. If you are having troubles, you may benefit from checking out the tutorial in my sig.

I guess it is one of the beauties of this game that there are so many ways to get a handle on playing it. It must be a little frustrating for new folks to the game to have all these approaches thrown at them. My own preference is learning the hard way from playing the game, I find it more satisfying than just following some script for how to play. In any case, my original intent for the thread was looking for those folks who found a similar...

I always start looking on turn 3 or 4 to minimize beaker loss maximize gold income. It's not a hard and fast rule, but it does occasionally work. I don't try and use scientists to get it to zero. That's more effort than I want to put into the game. Micromanaging is not what I consider fun.

I believe timerover51 means Conquests, instead of the "complete" package of games.

I'm still trying to get the full effects of Corruption in C3C. Quick Question: if I build a new city in my core to use up a few unused tiles, does it cause worse corruption on the edge of my core? (the semi-corrupt that I can get 2-4 shields per turn out of) Thanks

Well, I am trying out Overseer's suggested game, playing as the Koreans and sharing the island with the Babs, Sumerians, Maya, Germans, Greeks, Iroquois, and Ottomans. I got a nice start (cow and a deer and a river) and the tech trading is already fierce at turn 20 or so. Hopefully I will manage to survive into the Middle Ages!

I am a long-time Civ III addict and I could just never get into IV. I played it for a little bit and it wasn't a bad game by any means, I just didn't like a lot of aspects of it. I don't like how they focused so much on bringing the scale of the game down - one of the things I like about Civ III is how you actually feel like you're building a huge, sprawling empire across the world. I don't get that feeling in Civ IV....
