How to script production ?

Archived from groups: alt.games.civ3 (More info?)

Hi !

I really like this game, Civilization.

After Civilization I, I bought Civ 3 Conquest. which is greatly
improved, particulary in game ergonomy.

I like to play great maps, with many cities...
But it's really a pain each turn to choose a new production for a lot of
cities.

It's why I wonder if there is any way to script the order of production.
I alway choose to product things in the same order (ie : coliseum, then
temple...).

If somebody knows how to achieve that...

Thanks in advance.
Chris.

You can make a text file that contains a list of what to build. That's your
master queue. Then you still have to load it for each city. I've never
bothered much with it so don't know how well it would work... especially is
you change your mind 1/2 way or something.

Instructions are in one of the readme files... possible the VC3 one.

Yes, in C3C you can build a production queue from within the game
interface. From within the city window, use shift-left click to add
production items to the queue. Shift-Q saves the queue, Q loads it into
whichever city's window is open. Note that the current item in
production does NOT get included in the saved list, only those items
that are "queued up"

Note that I don't regularly use this, for the reasons expounded by
Jeffery Jones. I have not tried this with any major mods (RAR, for example).
