Does anyone remember the olden days of Civ 1 where you had the puddle/swamp tile? Why was that removed? Just because jungles performed the same and were more common and more difficult to remove? Swamps had some unique resources that I remember. Flood Plains kinda are similar to that, but not really.

I never played civ 1 or 2, but wetlands in civ 3 conquests is the same as swamp.

Civilization pulled a fast one and changed 'swamps' to 'marshes'.
They are getting fairly crafty, I must admit.

I remember, I also remember when I first got the game I would move around the river tiles, I thought I could not move ontop of them. :(

hahah, well i was always tried to get ships in there

once you did get on the rivers (with land units) you could drift along them as if a road... that was nice. you could also build railroads into the sea for extra trade, but I don't think ships could ever use them.

I really need to get my hands on conquests, that seems to have some nice features.

its definitly better then vanila or ptw...but dont get to worked up...it has nice new features..but the same fatal flaws...
