Civrules, I nearly went for AoE2 before Civ 3 as well! good that I didn't, 'cos Civ3 has lasted a lot longer on my PC. The trouble with RTS games is they are simply too fast, so you can't enjoy each era in history as it comes; also, most RTS games lacks strategy, it's just: get rich, build an...

Unis all the way! the tech lead just rocks! Early bonuses are justsoo great, can out expand anyone! with FM, democracy and that other thing forgot it's name, damn! with quick wars fought with high-tech units, space energy+minerals 30-50turns? before anyone else. *The Unis are unbeatable!*...

Oh, no AC2? what a shame! If they do make one, I'd like to see better graphics, and not such a clear storyline, change it a bit here and there, maybe have a star wars age where you can fight aliens... AC has much more potential than Civ, but... No AC 2???!!! how could they!

I only use FM when I'm not at war with anyone, and not planning to win by war. I play as the unis 80% of the time, with builder strategies going for transcendence or economy. Most games I spend half of my time dealing with drones! help!

If there was a economic victry (like in Alpha-Centuri) then I think Japan is a serious contender. In the real world that is. But how well would Japan do in Civ3? In Civ3 land is very important, Food, Shields and Commerce all come from land. Japan's land is quite poor in quality, and there...

This is GREAT! Why didn't Firaxis think of this?!

I agree with gael, it's like blackmailing the USSR. "That's what will happen to Moscow if you get on the wrong side of us!"

Lynx, the pre-communist-Kuomintang Chinese is Republic of China which is today's Taiwan; even today on a Taiwan passport you will see "Republic of China, Taiwan province, issued in 90th year of the republic." I wouldn't vote for them though, Generalismo Jiang was a dictator, when he died he...

well WW2 is the most recent and i don't know much about other wars, so i'll vote for : Kursk, battle of Kursk 1943 That's the battle that really won the war in europe (500(?) German tanks lost in 7 days) had the Russians lost, I might be living in Nazi third Riech now. The thought makes me...

Hey! just a thought, look around you, how many things you see is made in China? In some ways China is already a superpower, it's just ppl don't realise it. Why doesn't US attack N.Korea? 1) there's no oil there, 2) 70,000(?) US soldiers died fighting the Chinese army in Korea 1950-1953. I...

correct me if i'm wrong, but in the Nanking 1936(?) the Japs killed about 300,000 civilians. Instead of arguing about it's morallity, the next day's papers had the headline: [B]Cpt. ***** wins the killing competition with 117 kills[\B] But it was the soldiers, not the Jap civilians who did...

the Zulus are the worst without a doubt, i had a 1500 year war with them. And they won!!!! China and Japan are good if you are playing as them. For some reason i think i always get the most lucrutive deals from Uncle Sam.

If Civ 3 was real the Al queada would be fighting with spears and knights, and winning!! :P N. Korea would have flipped to China, and there would be desert next to Hiroshima. The Germans would never have been able to beat the French in 1940, the US would have won in Vietnam, and Cuba, Iraq...

I rarely get bad wars lasting thousands of years, because i'm a builder and believes in quick wars, if i'm loosing too much (half of my cities), 50% of the time i quit. But there was a time when i was landed on a small island (big enough for 10? cities) with the Zulus only a few squres away...

it's part of USSR, like he said earlier. I think it's better if they are part of Germany. From that sreenie, the German army looks formidable, what's the rough arms ration between the major powers?
