What I love about this video, it was like you just got selected as the new leader of a dramatic failure of policies and with effort from the former leader and you were trying to turn the war effort around and deal with hostile nations, as well and you fought hard to make your nation great again
@@suedeciviii7142 true, but you clearly do a lot to make the best turn around possible. Especially picking up the game right on the middle of having no prior knowledge of everything. With that said, hats off to you.
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.
What would you think of a challenge, where every unit costs 1 pop to build? I've got a scenario already made if you want it. Was testing it out myself just to see what would happen cause I was curious. xD
Suede, around 45 minutes in, you are making a trade with Rome and decide to double check before confirming. Instead of "Forget it", you can simply press Enter (the trade table gets saved and the trade will NOT get executed). Double check what you want. Go back to the trade with Rome and your previous trade table is loaded. Easy.
These vids are great learning tools, thanks bro. When u play pangea (demi/diety) and you start on ur own island do you reload always? I feel as if that starting position is COMPLETELY unwinnable. Good luck getting map making from ai til like 1000 BC. 🤣
I love these videos. I could only win on Regent difficulty like 1 out of every 5 games until I watched your tip videos and now I've won my last 4 games with very little difficulty. Do you by any chance play any of the other Civs at this same skill level?
If only! Not a chance. I think I managed to win Civ 5 on deity a few months after release, but it's changed a bunch since then. The good news is there's a ton of other good TH-camrs who play 4,5 and 6.
It looked like maybe you were getting the golden age bonus production on the wonder. I wonder if the game is programmed so that golden age supersedes war time since it's strictly better. So you actually aren't in war time if you're in GA.
application settings question: how do you play civ3 with 2 monitors without it being super cumbersome? i have the steam version of the game and insid ethe game there are no resolution settings so each time i start it up my windows almost has a seizure trying to have 2 monitors at different resultions and if i''m not extraordinarily careful with my inputs during the logo and intro phase civ3 will crash.
Very good. Stricly worse than communism but the fact you don't have to switch out would be a huge plus. Monarchy and Feudalism would basically be useless. Republic would still be good but you'd wait longer before switching.
@@suedeciviii7142 Well if it isn't the man himself! Love your vids! And sorry, after looking back I realized the turn timer for motorized transport was cut off and I thought the dashed lines from golden age was showing you wern't funding scinece!
1:37:48 I've been called out xD But, better to say something maybe stupid and learn how the game actually works, than to say nothing and never make progress. Great vid, it was fun watching you pull your way back in this one.
It's bizarre, because some of the internal programming is so intricate. Things like this article. www.civfanatics.com/civ3/strategy/game-mechanics/ai-attitude-study/ But then on the other hand, people will say, oh, the AI doesn't like me, so they wont trade techs with me easily. But that's not programmed in!
@@suedeciviii7142 Oh, OK. I still had faith in you that you might still win it. A valiant try anyways. I am still amazed at what you can do with an impossible game.
The civs chosen for UN Secretary-General Candidacy are (and there may be overlap): 1. The civ with the highest population 2. The civ with the highest land area 3. The civ that built the United Nations. If there is overlap, only two civs will be displayed. If one civ satisfies all 3 conditions, a second civ will be used that has the 2nd highest population.
@@FriedChckn13 I don't think that's absolutely correct. Because that would mean in this game Rome has a higher population than Persia, which seems unlikely. I found this after I posted my original comment: civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Victory_(Civ3) According to that, a Civ needs only to have >25% of world population (or land area) to be eligible for the UN election - doesn't have to be the highest.

I have never felt so called out by a TH-cam video
Do you also play on huge 60% water maps? XD
@@suedeciviii7142 I did until you taught me how that only helps the AI
Animations feed my little dopamine goblin. Micro does not feed my little dopamine goblin.
I always enjoy learning new techniques and exploits from your videos! It makes playing this game much more fun!

Hey! I'm a new sub, and I just wanted to say that I can't get enough of these! I've learned a lot and it's also very enjoyable to watch :)
Thanks! I still keep an eye open for new saves to do these with, but I'm super choosy sadly.

What is this, Humankind? /s
could you share the scenario
Would love to see an update on this in the future!

Thanks for the tip. Yeah I've done that by accident but it's good to know how.
Thank you for keeping this game alive

Keep 'em coming!
Hey man! Whats the mod you are using for workers to have more options for actions?
It's not a mod, you can enable advanced unit actions in the preferences menu.
Suede, why don't you gift your city? Then all your units will automatically move to the capital.

No you get both (although not towards wonders obviously). The last turn of GA is weird though, that's what it was.
@@suedeciviii7142 Does GA compound on top of war-time? So you'd get +2 shields on tiles?
@@towel5314 Yes it does!

I haven't done so, I can't say. Try asking CFC or the discord
@@suedeciviii7142 will do, thanks for the reply! great stuff on your channel
Good video !
Is there any save file suede can’t beat?
Yes. Including many of my own lmao
I don't know if this is worth a video, but if despotism didn't have the tile penalty how good would it be?
Very good. Stricly worse than communism but the fact you don't have to switch out would be a huge plus. Monarchy and Feudalism would basically be useless. Republic would still be good but you'd wait longer before switching.
@1:41:25 how did you advance to a new age without funding science? Been a while since I've played the game!

Hilariously disappointing ending :P
Make a bunch of cheap units and block landing probably the cheapest option

Can someone answer why he made multiple airlifts? You only need one? Huh?
Each airfield or airport can only send 1 unit per turn.
What @ltnowis said. Each Airfield can only send one unit per turn, but the amount they can receive is unlimited.
@DailyQ50 what is that glitch?
Game quit with NO WINNER. Looks like there will not be a part 2 video.
No I lose here 100%.

How isn't the UN election between Persia and Rome only? Do you have a higher population than Rome or smth?
The Civ who builds the UN is automatically a candidate.
