I bought the Civ bundle when it came out and had an itch for some Civ so I installed Civ 3...
But damn it's hard. I don't think I ever played this one (I think 2 was the one I spent the most time with) and I'm really struggling.
I'm only on the second lowest difficulty (thinking that the lowest would be too easy) but I've started three different games so far and been quickly overwhelmed (not actually losing, but to the point where it doesn't look possible to win) as the computer just builds loads and loads of cities... they send out settlers like rats and settle everywhere.
I'm not sure if they are cheating (I can't see them being able to build so many settlers, warriors and workers so quickly legitimately...) but it's a bit annoying.
I've never had this much trouble in other Civ games, so I don't know if it's a specific AI thing in Civ 3?
Has anyone got any tips? Or mod suggestions that make it fairer if they are cheating?
