This topic serves as the information center for all Digi Civ III tournaments. Main announcements for the tournaments can be found here or in the Diginet Navy. Tournaments will last 3 nights on average. At the end of the 3rd night a winner will be announced. Below you can view the rules alongside the information to access the game and tournaments. Finally at the very bottom you can find a quick overview on how to play Civilization III.

The Rules:

1.Each turn cycle will last no longer than 3 minutes, if you are taking too long you will be asked to end your turn immediatley so the game is not haulted

2. We save every 15-20 minutes, in case of a game crash or a disconnect

3. Unit stacks may not exceed more than THREE UNITS. This does not include ships, workers, or settlers, but rather just militia units. Failure to comply will result in marks against you, if you gain 3 marks you wil be kicked from the game.

How to play civ:

FIRST AND FOREMOST: To chat in mulitplayer simply press the "~" key to open a message window.

Here is a list of the civilizations available to play as: http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3/civilizations/

When in multiplayer we are going to be playing in a mode called "simultaneous"

This means we all move our Units(which are kind of like chess pieces but with special uses(workers will build things in your cities, military units fight, settlers build cities)) at the same time or we use our units ability all in one turn, and then once we've all finished our turns it has a action timers that runs a cities production(which is used to make things), food, and wealth, and then the next turn begins and you can use your units again.

The game starts you with three units:

A Settler, who will found your capital when told to

A Worker, who can work tiles within your cities boards

and A Warrior, who can explore unknown areas, which will be covered by a black shadow, OR they can fight other units/siege cities

To make one unit fight another or attack a city simply use the movement command to make him attack.

Units are commanded by the unit interface at the bottom middle of the screen, alongside a unit and civilization info window to the right and a minimap to the left:

If you hover the mouse over one of the buttons it tells you what it is.

To edit a city, simple right click on it and choose one of the drop down options that appear.

To win Civ you either launch a spaceship, go for the cultural victory, take over the economy, or take over the world by force.

Happy Nation-Building!
