civilizations start the game close to one another,all of the Asian
civilizations start the game close to one another,and so on.

•

Respawn AI Players:

•

Preserve Random Seed:

When this option is checked, the
state of the current game’ s random number generator is locked

on random events in the game .For example,right after you sav e
your game, one of your units is attacked and destroyed by an
enemy unit.You can reload your last save and allow the com­bat to occur again.If the Preserve Random Seed option is not
checked,a new random number is generated when the game
is reloaded,and the results of the combat might be different.If
the Preserve Random Seed option is checked,the result of the
combat is alwa ys the same because the original random num­ber that gov erned the combat is preserved in each save .

Middle Ages

In 843, the great empire of
Charlemagne is divided into three
parts. The Christian leaders
of these kingdoms of English,
Franks,Germans and Burgundians

each have a holy relic that needs
to be returned to Jerusalem (to earn 10,000 bonus Victory P oints).
A fourth relic resides with Alfred the Great in his fledgling
English nation to the north. Play as either one of these four
Christian civilizations, one of four Viking powers, one of four
Arab powers, or as the Byzantines. Who can r ule the greatest
kingdom of the Middle Ages by the year 1453?

Mesoamerica

The Mesoamerican cultures of the Pre­Columbian era have captured the imagination
of anthropologists and historians alike.From the
industrious Inca and their imper ial road sys­tem,to the magnificent temples of Mayan Tikal,

and on into central Mexico where the mighty
Aztecs paid blood homage to the god-king Quetzalcoatl,these
cultures stood as a testament to the ingenuity and glory of ancient
man. Can you, as either the Aztecs, the Maya,or the Inca, lead
your people to victory, and forge an empire to withstand the
coming of the Conquistadors?

Age of Discovery

Play as one of five European
powers (England, France, Spain,
Portugal or the real underdog ...
the Dutch) as you explore the
New World and Africa. Set up

plantations and mines in these
new lands to exploit their wealth. Then bring these treasures
back av oiding privateers to score Victory Points and add gold to
your treasury.

The Conquests

Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia is the “cradle of civ­ilization” and was home to all
seven of the “Great Wonders of
the Ancient World.” The map
stretches from the mountains of

Greece east to the hills of Persia
and south to the Nile river.The game ends as soon as all seven
great wonders have been built, or when a side amasses 5,500
Victory Points, or after 160 tur ns — whichever happens first.
Victory points awarded for completing wonders are doubled
in this scenario.

Rise of Rome

It is more than 2,300 years ago,

and the Mediterranean Sea is in

turmoil.T o the east,Macedon and

Persia are locked in a deadly war

to decide the dominant pow er in

Asia Minor. Farther west, the
young city of Rome is beginning to challenge mighty Carthage
for control of the central Mediterranean.Are you prepared to
grasp the reins of power,and lead your people to the heights of
glory and wealth — at the point of a sw ord and the tip of a spear?

Fall of Rome

Emperor Constantine has divided

the Roman Empire into two .The

Wester n half, with its capital at

Rome,is beset with barbarians on

all borders.The Eastern portion of

the Empire,hard at work building
their new capital of Constantinople,faces danger as well, from
both barbarians and the strengthening Sassanid Persians. How
long can the once great empire survive? Corruption is rampant
already, and if either half of the empire loses eight cities, it will
surely collapse.

World War II in the Pacific

War has been declared! It is
December,1941 and the “peace­ful” Pacific Ocean is about to
witness the full fury of air, naval
and land warfare during World

War II. A military-rich but
resource-poor J apan has dangerous assault for ces poised to attack
complacent Allied bases in Malay a and the Philippines.Far to the
northeast,near Ha waii,a pow erful J apanese na v al-air strike force
is within range of the “unsuspecting” U.S. fleet stationed near
Honolulu.

Alternatively (and ev en harder than the Dutch),play as the Aztecs,
Incas or Mayans,trying to stem the tide of European domination
long enough to win a one-city cultural victory.

Sengoku

The Sengoku period in Japan
spans the Onin war in 1467,the
emergence of Oda Nobunaga
into Ky oto in 1568,and the estab­lishment of the Tokugawa shogu-

nate in 1603.It was in this period
that battles,large and small,raged throughout Japan as warlords
fought for the title of Shogun. War tactics changed drastically
following the introduction of gunpowder and firearms by the
Portuguese in 1543.Will you be able to battle and scheme your
way into to the position of Sho gun?

Napoleonic Europe

The age of Napoleon has arrived!

Nationalism is sweeping through

the lands.Strong infantry and cav-

alry forces of a newly rejuv enated

France, under the direction of

several great military leaders,stand
ready to bring “reforms” to the other nations of Europe. Across
the channel, England is in a locked alliance with Portugal, the
Netherlands and the Kingdom of Naples. Other countr ies are
unaligned — but not uninterested in the future shape of Eur ope.
Can Napoleon conquer all, or will the other nations work
together to contain his imperialistic motives?

Carthaginians

African city of Car thage, the Carthagini­ans controlled a small but po werful empir e

brutal methods and suspicious attitude towards business and
enterprise mean they must force labor to rush improvements.

Feudalism

As a feudal kingdom you are dependent on the vassals for sup­port and bound to respect their wishes. Corr uption is lessened
due to a decentralized administrative system,but your v assals ar e
wary of continual warfare so w ar w eariness can be a slight prob­lem to public happiness. Production problems associated with
despotism are avoided.Maintenance costs for units is increased,
but city improvements have no maintenance costs.

• Bonuses:

Typically, the start location is near the ocean. Cities
built on coast receiv e a bonus commerce in the base city squar e.
Seafaring Civs have less of a chance of sinking out at sea
prior to researching Astronomy. Cheaper “water based” city
improvements include Coastal Fortress, Harbor, Offshore
Platform,and Commercial Docks.Ships move faster and hav e
a reduced chance of sinking in the sea or ocean.

Fascism

Fascist states appeal to strong feelings of national identity and the
promise of a glorious future (or the return to an idealized past).
Nations ruled with this form of government view themselves as
entitled to anything they can take from weaker civilizations, so
war weariness is not an issue, and nationalist fervor for public
works means that y our W ork ers do their jobs faster.Howe ver ,the

Setting Rally (City & Continental) Points

Once you set a rally point for a city,all units produced in that city
automatically move to that rally point after they are built.Each
city can hav e only one rally point.

Note:

Changing your city pro­duction to anything other than a unit will clear the rally point.
You can also set Continental Rally points by right clicking on a
city and choosing Set Continental Rally Point.

• To set a city’s/continental rally point:

Right-click on the
city and select Set Rally Point fr om the men u.Mov e the cur­sor to the square you w ant to set as the rally point and left-click.

• To clear a city’ s rally point:

Right-click on the city and select

Clear Rally Point fr om the men u.

Automated Bombard, Bombing, and
Precision Bombing

These new commands allow you to order units to bombard,
bomb,or precision bomb a single target repeatedly without ha v­ing to issue a new order every turn.

The keyboard shortcuts for these actions are always available
(see “Keyboard Shortcuts” on page 68). You must turn on
Advanced Unit Action buttons in the Preferences screen if
you want the following buttons for these commands to be
display ed on scr een when you select a unit.

Auto Bombing:

Press [Ctrl]–[U] or the W ait [W] hotk ey
to quickly activate the bombardment for the turn or to
cycle through y our units to man ually acti vate.

Auto Precision Bombing:

Only targets city improve-

ments.

Sacrificing Units

Some units,as found in the Mesoamerica Conquest,hav e
the ability to capture other units.When you are playing
a scenario with the Enslavement option enabled,you can

capture a unit and bring it back to one of your cities,then sacri­fice that unit to gain culture points.

Move Units in Stack (Hotkey: X or J)

Click on this button to give a GoTo order to all of the

units that occupy the same square as the currently
selected unit.Units on transports must be unloaded before you
can give them a stack GoTo order.Order a transport to GoTo a
shore tile and select Unload All.

Note:

Stacked units mo ve at the

mov ement rate of the slowest unit in the stack.

Move Units of Same Type in Stack

(Hotkey: Ctrl–X or Ctrl–J)

Click on this button to give a GoTo order to all units of
the same type as the currently selected unit in that unit’ s squar e.
For example,if the selected unit is an Archer,all Archers in the
same square follow the GoTo order but non-Archer units do not.

Note:

Stacked air units given a GoTo order automatically re-base

to the destination location if possible.

Cycle Units

(Hotkeys: ], [ or Shift –], Shift– [)

Click on the left and right arro ws to cycle through
your active units.As you cycle through units,the map automati­cally centers on the selected unit.Units that are automated,for­tified,or otherwise not awaiting orders are skipped.Click on the
icon between the arrows to switch between cycling through all
active units and only units of the currently selected type. (For
example,if you have a Spearman selected and you set this con­trol to Toggle Units By Type,clicking on the arrows cycles only
through Spearman units.)

Rename Units

You can now change the names of individual units.
To change a unit’s name, select the unit and press

[Shift]–[N] or click on the Rename Unit action button
(pro vided that Advanced Unit Action b uttons ar e enabled in the
preferences panel). Type the new name for the unit in the
dialog box,and then press Enter.

Note:

Doing this changes only the name of the selected unit —

not the names of every unit of that type.

The Espionage Screen

The Espionage screen lets you manage
and direct all of your diplomatic acti v­ities and clandestine operations from
one convenient location. After the
discov ery of Writing,you can open the
Espionage screen by clicking on the
E button on the side of the Info Box.

The Espionage screen is divided into five sections:

Opponents

The left portion of the Espi­onage screen shows all of y our
opponents. The names and
leader portraits of the civiliza­tions you have contact with
are shown. Civilizations you
have not yet encountered are
labeled “Unmet. ”

Click on a civilization’s name
or leader portrait to initiate an
action against that civilization
in the Espionage screen.Beside each civilization’s name,one or
more icons might be displayed:

Indicates that you have established an embassy in that
civilization’s capital.

Indicates that you have a spy planted within that civiliza­tion.

Mission

These controls allow you to select the diplomatic or espionage
mission you w ant to undertake.First,select an opponent and then
select the proposed mission.You will not be able to select mis­sions that you cannot afford or cannot perform at your current
level of technolo gy.

The details and implications of each mission type are discussed
in the Civilization III manual and in the in-game Civilopedia.

Mouse Controls for Advanced Unit Actions

In Civilization III,there were a number of adv anced unit actions
that you could only initiate using keyboard commands.You can
now initiate these actions using Advanced Unit Action Buttons,
which you can turn ON or OFF in the Preferences screen.

Civil defense helps protect units within the city b y
providing a defensive bonus against attack and
bombardment.

Commercial Dock

Commercial Docks increase trade in ever y water
square within the city’s radius.They can be built
only in cities bordering water squares.

Stock Exchange

The Stock Exchange boosts the tax output of the
city in which it is built.This new improvement is
a prerequisite for the Wall Street small wonder.

Note:

The prerequisite for the Wall Street small
wonder is now five Stock Exchanges instead of
five Banks.

Assets

This pro vides a summary of your current monetary and techno­logical assets,including the amount of gold in your treasury ,your
technological achievements that apply to espionage, and your
level of spy experience.

Select City

These are the cities that belong to the currently selected civi­lization.Click on a city to select it.

Wo r k e r Ac t i o n s

In addition to the new impro vements and wonders that you can
build in your cities,Civilization III: Conquests adds several new
Worker actions. These new actions allow your Workers to build
structures outside your cities (in the same way that they could
build Fortresses and Colonies in Civilization III).

The unit action buttons and keyboar d shortcuts for these actions
are always available (provided that you have researched the req­uisite technology).

Airfield

After you discover Flight, your Workers can construct

Airfields. You can build Airfields anywhere inside your
terr itory or in neutral terr itory. An Airfield can be the target
of a Re-Base action for air units, and can be used as a base of
operations for any air unit actions. If the Airfield falls into the
territory of another civilization,that ci vilization tak es contr ol of
the Airfield — unless the civilization in question has not
discovered Flight,in which case the Airfield is destroyed.When
a Worker builds an Airfield,the W orker is lost.

Outpost

Outposts help eliminate fog of war b y r evealing sections

of the map surrounding them. After you discover
Masonry,you can order Workers to build an Outpost anywhere
inside your territory or in neutral territory .Outposts hav e a sight
range of two on flat land,three on hills,and four on mountains.
If an Outpost falls into the territory of another civilization, the
Outpost is destroyed. When a Worker builds an Outpost, the
Worker is lost.

Radar Tower

Radar Towers become av ailable after y ou discov er Radio ,

and can be built in any land tile within y our territory .Any
of your units within tw o squares of a friendly Radar Tower recei ve
an offensive and defensi ve combat bonus.If your Radar Tower falls
into the terr itory of another civilization, the Radar Tower is
destro yed.When a W orker builds a Radar T ow er,the W ork er is lost.

Wonders of the World

The Internet

The Internet is a great boon to scientific disco v ery,
pro viding the equivalent of a Research Lab in e very
friendly city on the continent where it is built.The
Internet triggers a Golden Age for the civilization
that builds it — if they haven’t had one already.

The Statue of Zeus

Produces an Ancient Cavalry unit every fiv e turns
for free and is available with Mathematics.
Requires Ivory and is rendered obsolete by
Metallurgy. This wonder can become a tourist
attraction.

The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis is av ailable with P olytheism
and gives the player 4 Culture Points and adds a
temple to every city on the continent.It is rendered
obsolete by Education.This wonder can become
a tourist attraction.

The Mausoleum of Mausollos

Av ailable with Philosophy and giv es you 2 Cultur e
Points and 3 happy faces in the city in which it’s
built.This w onder can become a tourist attraction.

Knights Templar

The city that houses the Knights Templar
produces a free Crusader unit every five turns.
Knights Templar provides 2 Culture Points. It is
available with Chivalry and is rendered obsolete
by Steam P ower.

Small Wonders of the World

Secret P olice HQ acts as a second Forbidden P alace ,but you can
only build it,and it is only in effect when you are using Com­munism as your government type.

36 37

Units

Civilization III:Conquests adds seven new units that are available
to all civilizations in the game – Scientific Great Leaders,Guerilla,
Medieval Infantry,Curragh,Treb uchet,Spies,and Cruisers.Vari­ous other unit adjustments are also listed below.

Units Available to All Cultures

Scientific Great Leaders

Scientific Great Leaders can be awar ded when
you ha v e sho wn y our skill at competing in the
tech race.Anytime you are the first tribe to
research a tech,the opportunity for receiving a
Scientific Great Leader is increased. You can use
them to boost science in a city for 20 turns or
to Hurry City Production.

Guerilla

Guerilla units are equally effective at both
offense and defense. This Industr ial Age unit
becomes available after the discovery of
Replaceable Parts.

Medieval Infantry

Medieval Infantry were the standard foot sol­diers of the Middle Ages. These pow erful attack
units become available after the discovery of
Feudalism.

Note:

The Swordsman now

upgrades to Medieval Infantry.

TOW Infantry

TOW Infantry use portable rocket artillery to
fight tanks.They become av ailable with Rock­etry and do not require any resour ces to build.

Barricades

Extensions to existing fortifications that create a Zone of

Control. Barricades double the defensive bonuses of
Fortresses and also stop any unit from being ab le to mov e past the
barr icades until the next turn. You must have a fortification
in place to build a barricade.

Clear Wetlands

Pressing [Shift]–[C] or clicking on this Advanced Unit

button will clear marshland terrain. You must research
Tech to have this ability. Pressing [Shift]–[W] will automate a
unit to clear wetlands.

Clear Damage

Pressing [Shift]–[C] or clicking on this Advanced Unit

button will set your worker to the task of cleaning up
damaged terrain tiles. Damage occurs when volcanoes erupt or
when factories wastes become excessi ve .Bombardment of terrain
can also cause craters that can be cleaned with this command.
Pressing [Shift]–[D] will automate a unit to clear damage.

Tourist Attractions

Great Wonders of the World can become tour ist attractions,
which generate additional commerce for the city in which they
were b uilt.Great Wonders do not begin to draw in tourists until
the Wonders are at least 1,000 years old.

38 39

Flak Cannon

These anti-aircraft weapons ar e vital for defense
against bombing air units and will be the key
to a solid defense or offense in the Late Indus­trial & Modern Eras. Since they are also
portable you should try to remember to bring
some along as an escort.These become avail­able with the discovery of Flight.

Mobile SAM

These mobile missile-based anti-aircraft units
become availab le with Rocketry and will pause
any air-based offensive.These units do not do
well against stealth aircraft,so if your opponents
are going airborne,be sure to adjust by creat­ing your own superior air force — or protec­tion from one!

Tribe-Specific Units

There is also one new tribe-specific unit for each of the 15
new tribes.

Ansar Warrior

The Ansar Warrior takes the place of the
Knight for the Arabs.They sacrifice some of the
Knight’s defensive capabilities in favor of
increased movement and decreased cost.

Berserk

Instead of Longbowmen, the Scandinavians
deploy Berserk units.Although more expensiv e
than Longbowmen, Berserk units are more
powerful both offensively and defensively and
hav e Amphibious Attack ability .

Ancient Cavalry

These cavalry units represent highly trained
mounted men that are swift to charge into
danger and can quickly ride out of harm’ s w ay.
Created by the Statue of Zeus wonder.

Crusader

Crusaders are a unit created by the Knights
Templar wonder .

Modern Paratroopers

Modern Paratroopers are prepared to do battle
deep behind the enemy lines! They become
availab le with Synthetic Fiber.

Curragh

The Curragh was the first boat used by man for
traveling the seas.These units can be built by
coastal cities after the discov ery of Alphabet.

Trebuchet

The Trebuchet is an upgraded version of the
Catapult that packs quite a punch when used
effectively. This unit becomes available with
Engineering and can be upgraded to a Cannon.

Cruisers

Cruisers become available with the develop­ment of Combustion. These pre-AEGIS style
cruisers are the little brother of the Cruiser
family. Cruisers have more firepower than the
Destro yer and are faster than the Battleship .

40 41

Three Man Chariot

The Three Man Chariot replaces the Char iot
for the Hittites. Though slightly more
expensive than the Chariot, these killers
of the Ancient era receive a boost in both
attack and defense.

Hwach’a

This powerful bombardment unit of the
Koreans is even more powerful than the
Cannon. This unit gives the Koreans an
offensive edge, as it requires fewer strategic
resources to build than the Cannon.

Javelin Thrower

The Jav elin Throw er replaces the Archer for the
Mayans. When victorious in battle, there is a
chance that the Jav elin Thro wer will enslav e the
defeated unit and create a Worker.

Keshik

The Keshik takes the place of the Knight for
the Mongols. This mounted unit lacks the
Knight’s defensive strength,but requires fewer
strategic resources and costs less. The Keshik
ignores all movement penalties when crossing
mountain terrain.

Numidian Mercenary

The Numidian Mercenary is the unique
Carthaginian unit used in place of the
Spearman.This unit is versatile on offense and
defense, though slightly more expensive than
the Spearman.

Carrack

The Carrack replaces the Caravel for the Por­tuguese.They r eceiv e a boost to attack strength
and do not sink during ocean voyages.

Chasqui Scout

The Chasqui Scout replaces Scouts for the
Incas. They receive no movement penalties
when trekking across hills and mountains and
hav e the ability to attack and defend.

Conquistador

Conquistadors replace Explorers for the Span­ish.While not the equal to Middle Ages ca v alry
in direct combat, these military scouts are
extremely mobile.Conquistadors treat all terrain
as roads.

Dromon

The Dromon replaces the Galley for the
Byzantines. Their use of Greek Fire gives
Dromon a small offensive advantage over the
Galley.

Enkidu Warrior

The Enkidu Warrior replaces the W arrior for the
Sumerians.The unit costs the same as a Warrior
but has an extra hit point,which helps to ensure
survival during the early Ancient battles.

Gallic Swordsman

The Gallic Swordsman r eplaces the Swor dsman
for the Celts.The additional movement speed
of this unit gives the Celts an offensiv e edge in
Ancient Times.

42 43

Elimination

When this victory condition is enabled, victory can be swift
indeed.Under this rule,when you lose a city — any city — your
entire civilization is eliminated from the game.The last civiliza­tion remaining wins the game.

Regicide

When Regicide is selected as a victory
condition,every civilization starts the game
with a “king” unit. Each civilization’s king
is its great leader — for example,the Amer­ican’s king is Abraham Lincoln.Kings can
move and have minimal offensive and
defensive str ength.

When your king is killed,your ci vilization is eliminated from the
game.The last civilization standing wins.

Mass Regicide

This victory option is similar to Regicide,but every civilization
starts the game with multiple king units.Your civilization is elim­inated when all of your king units are killed.The last remaining
civilization is the winner.

Victory Points

In addition to the pre-set victory condi­tions, you can determine the winner of a
game using victory points. You can view
your score (and those of all other civiliza-

tions in the game) on the Histograph screen.
Victory points are scored based on two options that you can set

along with the other game rules on the Player Setup screen and
the Multiplay er Setup scr een.

Victory Point Scoring

When this option is selected,the starting squares for each civi­lization are tagged with victory location icons.You score victory
points by capturing and holding victory locations.To control a
victory ,one of your military units must occupy the squar e at the

Sipahi

The Ottoman Sipahi takes the place of Cav alry
in their strategic forces. This unit’s powerful
attack strength gives the Ottomans mounted
superiority in the Middle Ages.

Swiss Mercenary

The Swiss Mercenary replaces the Pikeman for
the Netherlands.This unit is the ultimate solu­tion for Middle Age City defense.

New Unit Abilities

Stealth Attack

Stealth Attack allows you to pick your target regardless of how
many units are in the stack that you are attacking.Use this abil­ity to ensure that the Elite Spearman who keeps healing every
turn doesn’t get the chance.

Enslavement

Enslav ement gives y ou the opportunity to capture a defeated unit
and conv ert it into a worker or other unit (determined by the unit
with the Enslav ement ability).The May an J a v elin Throw er ,Eng­lish Man-O-W ar ,and Privateer all hav e the ability to enslav e units.

Victory Conditions

Civilization III:Conquests includes a number of new victory con­ditions designed to provide specific goals and allow for shorter
games.

You can enable the new victory conditions during game setup on
the Player Setup screen (in a single-player game) or the Multi­player Setup screen.As with all victory conditions, you can also
use the game editor to set victory conditions when building or
editing a scenario.

44 45

Multiplayer

You’ve already proven your leader ship prowess against worthy
computer opponents, but how will you fare against the most
unpredictable and diabolical of all adversar ies — other, human
Civilization III players? Civilization III: Conquests gives you the
opportunity to match wits and warfare with play ers both locally
and around the w orld.

Getting Connected

Most multiplayer games require a connection to another com­puter — via an Internet service provider (ISP) or a local area
network (LAN).Internet games are played via GameSpy, a free
Internet game portal.

Play by E-mail games do not r equire a dir ect connection — y ou
and your opponents must have valid e-mail accounts to play an
e-mail game.

Hot Seat games are play ed on a single computer and,thus,do not
require an outside connection of any kind.

Important Info – Please Read!

Connecting Through a Firewall

In order to join or host a multiplay er game through a connection
to the Internet that is protected by a firew all you will be r equired
to open ports in your firew all.Opening these ports will allow the
game to communicate to other computers without the firewall
interfering.Please consult y

our firewall documentation for assistance in

opening the ports.

Note:

Only one play er who is behind a firew all can be in a game.

end of all play ers’turns on a given turn.You get 25 victory points
for every turn you control a victory location.You will also score
points by killing enemy units or barbarians, capturing enemy
cities,building W onders and researching technologies.

Note:

You can set additional victory locations on a map using

the editor.

Capture the Princess

This option is a sort of capture-the-flag
game — only, in this case,the “flag” is a
princess.At the start of the game,each civ­ilization has one princess unit. Unlike the
king units in the Regicide and the Mass
Regicide games, princess units cannot
mov e,attack,or defend themselves — they

are stuck on the square where you start the game.
When this option is enabled, you score victory points by

capturing your opponents’princesses and returning them to your
capitalcity .Princesses are captured by mo ving into the square they
occupy and using the Capture unit action. If other units are
defending the princess you must defeat those units in order to
capture the princess. If the princess is inside a city, you must
capture or destroy the city in order to capture the princess.

After a princess is captured,she moves along with the capturing
unit.You must take the captured princess to your capital city. If
you are successful,you score 10,000 victory points.The princess
then disappears from your capital and is r eturned to her original
owner’s capital city.If there is no place for the princess to return
to—for example,the princess’civilization has been eliminated—
the princess remains in your capital city and you score an addi­tional 10,000 victory points.

Reverse Capture the Flag

Return the “flag”to a Victory Point Location for points. To see
an example of how this victory condition works,refer to “The
Three Sisters”scenario.

Chat

The Chat area works just as it does on the Multiplayer Lobby
screen.In addition to chat messages from other play ers,the Mes­sages window sho ws you game status messages (such as notifica­tion when other play ers join the game).

Joining a Multiplayer Game

To join a LAN or Internet game,find the game you want to join

Note:

If you are joining an Internet game,you are taken to the
Staging Window prior to proceeding to the Multiplayer Setup
screen.On the Staging Screen,simply click Ready to signal the
host that you are r eady to proceed.

Game Rules

The Game Rules section of the Multiplay er Setup screen is iden­tical to the Rules section of the Player Setup screen in the sin­gle-play er game.To enable a game rule,click it.To disable a rule
that is already selected, click it again. Use the scroll bar on the

Multiplayer Setup screen.
This window allows you to

for details.)

• Game Mode:

Choose a game mode and victory conditions.

• Lock Game:

Enable this option to bar any additional player s

56 57

Turn-Based

Tur n-Based multiplayer games are played just like single-player
games. Depending on the Game Speed option selected by the
host, you might have a set amount of time to complete your
mov ement and other tasks each turn.

The turn timer in the upper r ight cor ner of the screen counts
down the time remaining in the current turn as well as the
elapsed game time.When the turn timer runs out,your turn ends
and the next player’s turn star ts.You can end your turn early by
clicking on the End Tur n button on the Info Box. You are
prompted to mo ve when it is your turn again.

Even when it isn’t your turn, you can still perform many game
functions,such as setting city production orders,consulting your
advisors, and so on.There are,however,several actions that you
can only perform when it is your turn:

• Move units.

• Assign or cancel unit actions.

• Hurry production.

Simultaneous Movement

The Simultaneous Movement game is very similar to the Turn­Based game. The game proceeds one turn at a time, however,
instead of each play er taking separate turns each round,all play­ers take their turns at once.

Each turn lasts until the turn timer has finished counting down.
All production,research,and so on take place prior to the start of
each new turn.

Since you are joining someone else’s game,you can’ t change the
game options and rules.The only options you can change are in
the Play er Setup ar ea.

• Civilization:

Find your name in the Player Setup area and
select the civilization you want to play from the drop-down
menu to the right of your name.If you like sur prises,choose
Random and the game will pick a civilization for you.

Note:

You cannot select a civilization that has already been
selected by another player. If you wish to choose a particular
civilization,pick fast.

• Rename:

Click Rename to change your name,your civiliza­tion’ s name,and the title by which you will be addressed in the
game.

• Ready:

Click on the Ready button beside your civilization
name to indicate to the host that you are ready to start the
game. When you click Ready, all options are locked. If you
change your mind,click Ready again any time before the host
launches the game.

The Chat area works just as it does on the Multiplayer Lobby
screen.In addition to chat messages from other play ers,the Mes­sages window sho ws you game status messages (such as notifica­tion when other play ers join the game).

Quitting a Multiplayer Game

You can quit a multiplayer game at any time just as you would a
single-player game.When you decide to quit,be sure you really
want to leav e the game .When y ou quit,your civilization is elim­inated from the game and all of y our cities ar e destroyed.

Multiplayer Game Types

Civilization III:Conquests offers five game modes for multipla yer
games.You can still play the traditional T urn-Based game (which
mimics the gameplay in the single-play er game),but there are also
three new game modes specifically designed for multipla y er play.

58 59

Play by E-Mail

The Play by E-Mail option allo ws you to pla y a game against dis­tant opponents without directly connecting with them.

To set up a Play by E-Mail game:

1.Make a note of the e-mail addresses of your opponents.(You
must keep track of the addresses your self — Civilization III:
Conquests does not save e-mail addresses.)

2.Select your civilization.(As the host,your name appears on the
top line of the Play er Setup ar ea.)

3.For each human opponent, select Add Human Player in the
Play ers column.A dialog appears that allows you to enter each
player’s name and other information. After entering player
names,choose a civilization from the drop-down menu next
to each opponent’s name.

4.You can fill any vacant positions with AI players by selecting
Computer in the Play ers column.

5.Click on the Ready button beside your name,and then click
Launch to start the game.

6.At the start of the game,you are pr ompted to enter an Admin­istrator Passw ord for the game .This passw ord allows the admin­istrator to drop player s from the game,regardless of whether
they passw ord protected their turns.

On the first turn,each play er is pr ompted to enter a passw ord for
his or her civilization.This password pr e vents other players from
playing that player’s turns.Pla yers with passw or d-pr otected ci vi­lizations must enter their passw ord before ev ery turn.If you don’t
want to password protect your civilization,leave the field blank.

From this point on,gameplay is similar to a Tur n-Based game.
After you complete each turn,you are pr ompted to sav e the game
and exit.Note the name of your saved game file and the folder
in which you sa ved it.After exiting Civilization III:Conquests,open
your e-mail application,and e-mail the saved game as an attach­ment to the next play er.

Hot Seat

A Hot Seat game plays exactly like a T urn-Based game except that
all players play on the same computer.After you complete
your turn, the next player takes your place at the keyboard
and takes his or her turn, and so on. There is no game timer in
Hot Seat games.

To set up a Hot Seat game:

1.Select Hot Seat as the game type.

2.Select your civilization.(As the host,your name appears on the
top line of the Play er Setup ar ea.)

3.For each human opponent, select Add Human Player in the
Play ers column.A dialog appears that allows each player to enter
his or her name and other information.After entering a name,
players choose a civilization from the drop-down menu next
to his or her name.

4.You can fill any vacant positions with AI players by selecting
Computer in the Play ers column.

5.Click on the Ready button beside your name,and then click
Launch to start the game.

6.At the start of the game,you are pr ompted to enter an Admin­istrator Passw ord for the game .This passw ord allows the admin­istrator to drop player s from the game,regardless of whether
they passw ord protected their turns.

On the first turn,each play er is pr ompted to enter a passw ord for
his or her civilization.This password pr e vents other players from
playing that player’s turns.Pla yers with passw or d-pr otected ci vi­lizations must enter their passw ord before ev ery turn.If you don’t
want to password protect your civilization,leave the field blank.

You must load a sav ed Hot Seat game from the Multipla yer Setup
screen.If you load the game fr om the Main Menu,the game plays
as if it were a single player game .

Note:

Diplomacy — communication with other civilizations —
is handled differently in Hot Seat games.See “Multiplay er Diplo­macy”on page 64 for details.

The In-Game Multiplayer Interface

Although most of the multiplay er interface is identical to that of
the single-play er game,there ar e some notab le differences.

Multiplayer Information Display

The Multiplay er Information Display appears in the upper-right
corner of the screen during multiplayer games.This interface pro­vides information about the players in the game and tracks turns
and elapsed game time.

Player List

The Player List shows the civilization color, leader name, civi­lization name and current score for every play er (human and AI)
in the game.By default, the Player List shows only your infor­mation. To expand the list to show information for all players,
click on the Maximize/Minimize button.

A Turn Indicator icon appears next to your civilization when it
is your turn in a Turn-Based or Hot Seat game.In Play by E-Mail
games,the turn icon is alw ays next to y our civilization.In Simul­taneous Movement games, the icon appears next to all civiliza­tions and disappears when each player ends his or her turn.

Click on the Block Chat button to block selected civilizations
from seeing y our chat messages.When the button sho ws a speech
balloon, the selected civilization can see your chat messages.
When the button is blank,chat is blocked to that ci vilization.This
button has no effect in Hot Seat and Play b y E-Mail games.

Note:

The Block Chat button also blocks v oice chat.

Turn Clock

The T urn Clock graphically counts down the time remaining in
the current turn.As time elapses,a bar fills the T urn Clock left to
right.When the bar is completely filled,the turn ends.

The Tur n Clock is not active in Hot Seat and Play by E-Mail
games, or in Tur n-Based and Simultaneous Movement games
when the Game Speed is set to None.

When you receive a saved game, copy it into your Saves folder.
Open Civilization III: Conquests and click Load Game on the
Main Menu.Locate the saved game y ou just recei ved and load it.
After you complete y our turn,you are prompted to sa ve the game
and exit.This cycle continues — each play er taking his or her turn
and sending the resulting saved game to the next player on the
list — until the game is ov er.

Note:

Diplomacy — communication with other civilizations —
is handled differently in Play b y E-Mail games.(See “Multiplay er
Diplomacy”on page 64 for details.)

The Effects of Game Speed

The Game Speed, set by the host on the Multiplayer Setup
screen,affects every game type differently.Note:Game Speed has
no effect in Hot Seat and Play by E-Mail games.

• Turn-Based:

Game Speed determines the amount of time
each play er has to complete his or her turn.When time elapses,
the next play er’s turn begins.

• Simultaneous Movement:

Game Speed determines the
amount of time all play ers have to complete each turn.When
time elapses,the next turn begins for all players.

In all game types affected,the faster the Game Speed,the shorter
the time between turns or production phases. Game Speed
doesn’t correspond to any specific amount of time. As your
civilization grows,the game automatically increases the amount
of time availab le to you.

• Emote Controls:

The multiplay er Diplomacy screen includes
Happy,Neutral,and Angry buttons. These controls allow you
to select the mood that your leader displa ys to y our opponent
during the diplomatic exchange.

• Chat:

The chat section of the multiplayer Diplomacy screen
allows you to exchange messages with your opponent during
negotiations. Messages are displayed in the Message area. To
send a chat message,type the message in the text entry field and
press Enter.Chat exchanges that take place on the Diplomacy
screen are betw een you and the pla yer y ou are negotiating with.
Other play ers do not see them.

You place items on the negotiation table just as you do in a
single-player negotiation.The status area of the Diplomacy
screen shows whether or not y ou ha ve accepted y our opponent’s
offer and vice-versa.As you add items to the negotiation table,
the offer is automatically updated on your opponent’s screen.

Once the offer is on the table,you hav e the following options:

• Accept:

Notifies your opponent that you have accepted the
offer currently on the table.When both you and your oppo­nent accept the offer,the negotiation ends automatically.

• Cancel:

Ends the negotiation immediately without accepting

the offer.

• Do Not Accept:

After you ha ve accepted the offer y ou can still
change your mind by clicking Do Not Accept.You can only
do this if your opponent has not y et accepted the offer.

Note:

When negotiating with AI civilizations in an y multipla y er
game,negotiations are conducted just as they ar e in a single-play er
game.

Hot Seat and Play by E-Mail

Diplomacy in Hot Seat and Play by E-Mail games is nearly iden­tical to diplomacy in other multiplayer game types but,because
of the unique nature of the turn sequence in these game types,
negotiations can stretch out over several turns instead of being
concluded in a single turn.

Total Play Time

The Total Play Time indicator shows the total amount of elapsed
time since the game began (in hours,minutes,and seconds).The
Total Play Time indicator is not active in Hot Seat or Play by
E-Mail games.

Multiplayer Diplomacy

Turn-Based, Simultaneous Movement

Diplomacy in multiplay er games w orks similarly to single-pla y er
diplomacy,but there are a n umber of significant differences.

Initiating Diplomacy

In multiplayer games, you can initiate a diplomatic exchange
with civilizations with which you ha ve contact at an y time.When
someone attempts to start a diplomatic exchange with you,you
are notified with a pop-up window.

You hav e a n umber of possib le r esponses available:

• Accept the envoy:

Select this response to begin a diplomatic

exchange with your opponent.

• Refuse to hear the envoy:

Select this response to notify
your opponent that you are not interested in negotiating at
this time.

• Contact Me Later:

This closes the window and informs the

contacting play er to try again later.

Conducting Negotiations

The multiplayer Diplomacy screen is very similar to the single­play er version with several important differences:

• No “They Offer” section:

The portion of the Diplomacy
screen that displays the items available for your opponent to
offer is not shown in multiplayer negotiations.When you ini­tiate a diplomatic exchange,you must propose a deal and it is
up to your opponent to offer items in exchange.When your
opponent proposes a deal,you can see only what he or she cur­rently offers you.

64 65

Chatting

In LAN and Internet games, you don’t have to open formal
diplomatic negotiations to talk to your opponents.You can con­verse with them at any time by using the Chat feature.To open
the Chat window,press the [~] key .

You can use the Block Chat buttons to prev ent selected ci viliza­tions from seeing y our messages.

Note:

When you are negotiating
with another player on the Diplomacy screen, your chat
messages are automatically kept betw een you and the pla yer with
whom you are negotiating.

If your computer is equipped with a microphone and you have
Microsoft DirectVoice enabled on your computer,you can talk
directly to your opponents while you play.Voice chat works for
general chatting and during diplomatic negotiations.When the
Diplomacy screen is open,only the person you are negotiating
with can hear your v oice.

For tips on enabling and troubleshooting the voice chat,please
refer to the ReadMe file.(See “The ReadMe File”on page 3.)

Chat Messages: Atari does not monitor, control, endorse, or accept responsibility
for the content of chat messages. You are strongly encouraged not to give
out identity or other personal information through chat message transmissions.
Kids, check with your parent or guardian if you are concerned about any chat
you receive.

In both game modes,you make contact with y our opponents just
as you w ould in a single-play er game .When y ou initiate contact,
the multiplay er Diplomacy screen appears.To negotiate a deal,do
the following:

1.Select the items you want to put up for negotiation and close
the Diplomacy screen.

2.The player with whom you initiated contact is pr esented with
the multiplay er Diplomacy screen at the start of his or her next
turn.Your opponent now has the opportunity to place his or
her own items on the table for negotiation.Once this is done,
he or she closes the Diplomacy screen.

3.On your next turn,the Diplomacy screen appears to sho w you
what your opponent has offered you.

4.To accept the offer, click Accept.To renegotiate, decline the
offer and change the items you wish to place on the table.

5. This process continues back and forth until you and your
opponent agree to a deal.If y ou cannot agree to a deal,either
one of you can end the negotiations at any time b y clicking on
Cancel.

Note:

When negotiating with AI civilizations in an y multipla y er
game,negotiations are conducted just as they ar e in a single-play er
game.
