The civ series all generate their own maps so you never see the same one twice. Its just not officially called a random map generator
ok, are there any other good quality turn based games that have random generators?
Why does it have to have that label as long as it does what a random map generator does? Also civ series has a map editor for creating and editing maps.

I once heard that yahoo had developed a patch for multi civ2. But I never checked if that was true.
Civ3 is really hard. Tho, I managed win twice or thrice at monarch diff. On a relatively bigger map and more civilizations in game, you can have a good start by diplomacy. Having pyramids -as you know-is deadly. I played as Persians; industrial-scientific, their swordsmen (immortals) ruels  . And the Lighthouse is a miracle. By discovering the overseas civilizations and a good diplomacy you can trade most of the scientific researches and the gold you need to feed your army. As a final note for the lighthouse, do NOT let the overseas civs to contact with the other civs who start on the same continent with you until "navigation" is discovered.
I tried monarch with other civs such as French (industrial-commercial) and Greeks (scientific-commercial). They sucked. French are weak for science and military. Their civ-spec troops sux bigtime---> you cannot upgrade musketeers to high tech defenders  . Greeks are good for phalanxes for the early ages and science, but they are very weak for production. It is darn hard to win wonder-races with the Greeks.
of course, these were before the patch. I have not tried the latest patch. I heard they put new civilizations with the latest patch.
PS: do not press (A) for your workers until you are fully developed (avg. 20 min/turn  )

Well, I never prefer 1 big continent becuz the AI always produces more units then I can do. This means that being on a single continent with 5-6 other civilizations will most prolly toss all others. Even if you somehow manage to survive the early ages, the basterds will surely form alliances against you. Furtherworse, since they all act like 1 civ, they will skyrocket in science-each researching a different one.
The best, IMO, is 3-4 civs on one continent, 3-4 on another. At early stages, you can trade science vs science and/or gold with the civs you are on the same cont. a bit later you can trade science vs maps (territory first) with the overseas civs. and more laters (when navigation is discovered or is about to be) you start contact trading. But you must make sure that it is you who trades the contacts. Do not let other civs the opportunity to use contact trade adv. That is, when you trade a contact make sure that all other civiliaztions has contact with that civ(s) before hitting end turn. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for you.
IE:
You are in contact with a, b, c, d, e.
a and b is not in contact with c, d, and e. When you sell the contact with c to the a, the a will surely sell it to b next turn. and also c will sell the contact with a to d and e. and so forth.

handy link but it mixes up real time with turn based strategy games so hard to get a clear picture of what turn based games are out there. Is there any site that separates turn based from RTS?

Thx Mad any more tips? i seem to miss the essential things to succesfully play Civ3
As u can c on the link below I played a rather ok Civ2 game; I'm #5 in that (old) Hall of Fame and I didn't use the caravan-trick to boost up the points hehehe
www.apolyton.net/civ2/hof/
But somehow I'm playing CiV2-tactics in Civ3 and that ain't working.

But somehow I'm playing CiV2-tactics in Civ3 and that ain't working.
Its been quite a while I have not played civ2. But I remember storming the world on emperor diff
As for more civ3 tips:
As I said, you MUST Pyramids and Lighthouse. But if you have to pick only one I'd say go for the lighthouse.
For later ages, Adam Smith bla bla and Sistine Chapel rules. Actually, nearly all of the renaissance wonders rock. But unfortunately you cannot get to build them all. Sun Tzui's War academy may be a great wonder too. barracks in every city rules. Also, it increases the chances of your getting a leader. Leader=free wonder . I guess it will be unnecessary for me to tell that leaders can hurry wonders Building a wonder in 1 turn is be ruels
A small tip for wonder races. Start building a palace in the city which you want to build a wonder long before you have discovered the required advance
Some small tips for wars:
1 NEVER leave your homelands unprotected. Becuz the other civ will rush to your weakest cities even though their capitol is under danger. And remember that the other civ ALWAYS has more units than yours, and they are most likey to find an ally once you attack them.
2 All cities (above 6) you have captured by force will surely revolt and join back to their original civ. There are 2 solutions for this: a) destroy the city and build a new one b)kill the foregin citizens in that city until the city population hits 2 (or 1 if it is a city far away from your cultural influence. (ps: capitols are likely to revolt more often even though you capture a capitol with 1 population)
3 The AI will win the 1vs1 battles %75 of the time even if your attack doubles the defense of the unit you are attacking to, if you are the agressor of the war. The only solution I have for this is having a weak unit (ie warrior) attack first, then attacking with the strong one. However, this is very risky. Becuz, by succesfully defending the warrior, the defender may get a promotion. In such situaitons save&load helps a lot
4 NEVER EVER sign a mutual protection pact.

My favorite Civ2-tactic was the Goodiehut-tactic on a large continent.
There was a patern in which those huts occurred, so the first 5 or 6 were easy to get.
I didn't made 1st city until 3200 or even 3000 but got all the goodiehuts to get 'NONE-units' and rush to another civ to force them to give up their gold and science and tried to capture the Wonders and switch to Democracy asap.
And I never did the load and save tactic; that just plain sux.
Only for the game in which I tried to set a record hehehe
When I'll play another Civ3 I'll try the above tactics.

Choose an expansionistic CIV or goody huts will hurt you
Zulu seem apropriate, being expansionistic and military
