Hey all.. I know it's been a while.. But the changeover to Civ IV left me hanging. I still only have III. One of these years, I'll pick up IV. Anyway.. I have a question about III. I keep running out of time before I've finished the game and am forced to retire. This last time that I played, I hadn't even made it to Radio before I was forced to retire. Is there a selection I can select/unselect to shut the danged time limit off?

Welcome back Grish! Hmm, as I recall in Civ 3 Conquest there was a tab in the game setup window to turn off the timed-game. Not sure about Vanilla Civ3 though. You definitely can turn it off in Civ4. The other good solution would be to play on one difficulty level lower, but maybe turn on Raging Barbs (making it sorta like "half" a difficulty level lower).
-- tones (9/1/2009) I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager. And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

I've actually got CivIII Gold.. Couldn't find it when I restarted a game (much to my wife's chagrin). I set it for Domination only. We'll see what happens. And thanks! Seein' a lot of familiar faces still active. Wow!

Grishnak, Grishnak, the name rings a bell... Hopefully you'll stick around for a bit, just don't go near P&R .

hmmm, I think you could both turn it off and also change the amount of turns thus making the date earlier or later, I can't remember if the editor was involved though... good luck!

I realize it's been a long time since anyone's played III, but can I get a little help here? And no one answered the P & R question...

Hey Grish, I really don't know the answer to your question, I know it can be done, but I forget how. P&R is the "Politics and Religion" discussion forum that we have here.
