I've been enjoying reading all the new posts since I last visited this site and they're all so interesting...some even funny.
Yes there's one tiny mountainous island, but my friend where are you going get the resources to build up or expand your city or your empire?...you can get some ore and food by fishing but wood is the most essential item and what and how much can one colonist, two if you make your soldier do a colonit's work do,...unless you just stay there through out the game
Sure no one can attack you, not even your mother country...sure is an interesting idea :blink:
I've always found that it's better to play as English...you get more colonists free + you get more crosses.
You can build as many colonies as you can afford but defending them becomes an extremely difficult task 10-15 are ideal...at least that's what I have discovered during these past 11 or so years
k:
Sure you can keep on playing long as you want...just keep on fighting and losing...but then all the fun goes down the ocean :bleh: The whole OBJECT of the game is to achieve independance! In Civ III and it's two expansions I really wonder how our friend managed to extend the time limit, anyway you're told, when the game is finished 'officially' that you can play but no points will be added to your score...!
Happy Gaming!
