If so, my Civ 3 disk must actually be a mislabeled Civ 4 disk. I don'tthink so.
|
Civ3 has two categories of Wonders :
Great - which can only be built once
Small - which can be built once by every civilization

No, that's a new idea. In my opinion, it is a good one. You generally don't have to be so hystercially focused on the "Great Wonders".
|
Civ3 has them and calls them 'Small Wonders'.
|
Little, bad-acting robots? Weird.

I'm getting the hang of the game now, but when I attempt to build Leonardo's workshop, the building will begin, but then after awhile, I'll get a message saying that since the city can no longer work on the workshop, do I want to switch to building a Colloseum. What is happening that the city can't continue construction of the workshop?

Another civilization beat you to it. If you look closely, it should tell you that another civ has finished building whatever. Since there can only be one, after it is built, your city has to build something else. Tim

There is a silver lining when this happens, though. You get money from your canceled project.
|
Civ 4 yes but NOT in civ 3.......
Perhaps 3,000 sheilds to build a colloseum which normally costs 200 sheilds.
(2,800 sheilds get wasted)

Exactly: Civ 4's Minor Wonders are the same idea as Civ 3's Small
Wonders, just with a new name. At least, that seems to be the case from
what has been said about them on this thread.

Therefore, you should generally try to switch over to something a
little more expensive than a colloseum, such as a different Wonder of
the world. In fact, many people deliberately plan on this: starting
work on a Wonder that is currently available, with the intent of
switching over to a different Wonder as soon as it becomes available.

Oops! My bad. There are a few minor wonders in Civ III, though not nearly
the same number as in Civ IV.

Small wonder that I forgot that, with such a name.

I think it's a good thing that that particular cheat (building one Wonder,
or a Palace, in order to switch production to another Wonder later on) is
gone, and that though I often used that cheat myself.
