and it's free!
Sorry, but the crap in the PTW Strat Gde should NOT be in the manual! A lot of it was half-baked ideas by the author, in addition to just-plain-WRONG info (e.g., you have to pay maintenance costs for captured workers).

Yes, I bought it, but NO I didn't read it all. Totally lacked credibility.

I dunno what Prima gives the game publisher (besides major $$) to make that stuff the "official" strategy guides...

Now those Nintendo Power strategy guides...those were good!!

and lest I forget Rome on 640K a day?

You can build the FP once you reach OCN/2. On standard maps, OCN=16 so you can build your FP after 8 cities. On huge maps, OCN=32 so you can build your FP after 16 cities.

Look in the editor under World Sizes

Well, the strat guide for civ 2 was excellent, so I assumed the one for civ 3 would be on par. Obviously I was wrong. But it does clear up some things like the triggers for small wonders which was lacking in the civ 3 manual, and has much better mappings of the tech tree. I use it as a reference, not a guide on how to win
