Hello World!

I think its time I faced facts. I am just not good at Civilisation III.

I'm fine at the start. I can build my cities and set them up nicely. The hard part comes in when the other civilisations make such ridiculous proposals and declare was on me when I refuse to accept. I mean, who would be stupid enough to trade technology upgrades for a lousy world map? Sheesh. Then they declare war on me, and all the other civilisations get pulled into it because of stupid mutual protection pacts and they proceed to nick all my strategic cities. And this is the easy difficulty setting. Humpf.
