Suggest POSTS FOR OUR STRATEGY SECTION

[MarkG]

We have opened our strategy pages here http://apolyton.net/civ3/strategy/

This means we need your suggestions of posts that have been made here so far and are worthy of being included in them.

So if you have seen a post or generally a thread that has helped you become a better player, please post about it here



The best way is to give a link directly to a post(for example this is post 601285(you can see the number on the url of the "edit" link) and can a direct link is http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...285#post601285
Alternatively the url of the thread and the name of the poster should be enough

Velociryx's view on the game is excellent!

[stiel]

He Mark!

I have posted another strategy on the thread of Velo....

I have tested that strategy one time and it seems to work. Now if there is someone who could say that this really works (my opinion is that it does)

But I've been able to test this only once....

But if this works, well my opinion is that it will be an VERY important strategy!

Mark,

The two I've found most interesting and potentially helpful:

Randomturn's Strategy Guide

Distilled CivIII Tips and Notes
(this one has a few posts off-topic, but the rest are quite useful)

[regoarrarr]

Well, to toot my own horn, I figured out the pattern for how many turns it will take you to research any given tech.

Also, in this thread I posted a strategy I used to make tons of money off the AI in trading techs

it's here!!

stiel, please edit your post so that it has a title...

[adaMada]

A Strategic Analysis of the Special Units (LONG).

A very interesting, at least, review of each of the special units. As this is in the Civ3-General thread, I don't know if it's eligable, and isn't strictly about strategy, but I think it is very useful to anyone trying to devise a strategy, so...

In other words, not sure if this is what you want, but thought I'd post it here and let you decide.
