I just got civilization III and I have some questions about the interface. I'm really used to Alpha Centauri, which I think has a much better interface.
In Civ III, why can't I access the civlopedia by right-clicking on a unit or building in the production menu?? Each time I want to see what something does, I have to manually open the civlopedia and look for the specific unit or whatever thing I want to build. This is getting annoying. Is there any "magic key" I have to press or does it only open for almost everything except the production menu (which where I use the most)?
Other than that I have some disapointement by comparing the game with Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri had it all right: movies, good music, cities in water, customizable units, lots of city improvements, non-flat world, great interface... Oh and I loved the quotes told when discover a new technology.
Oh well, I think I'll just go back to playing Alpha Centauri and hoping for a sequel...
