I can't believe that nobody else found this one yet.....
One time I lost the game in Civ 3 Conquests, and one of the things that one of the mocking AI civ leaders said was, "We crushed you, saw you driven before us, and hear the lamentation of your people!" This is a direct quote that Arnold Schwarzznegger declared in the movie Conan the Barbarian
If you want to varify this, just open the "labels.txt" file and search for this line, and it will be right in among the other random AI victory screen quotes.

When China talks about paper tigers, it might have to do with Mao's quote "All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are not so powerful. From a long-term point of view, it is not the reactionaries but the people who are really powerful."

I've found an easter egg (or not?): when I have lost by conquest early in AW Deity game, civ that destroyed me said this:
I don't want to do it
I don't want to do it
Smart: It's humorous, but it's not an Easter Egg.

I had just completed my 3rd game last week in Civ3 after buying the "Civ3 Complete" edition a few days prior, and at the end screen, where the various rulers you played against insult or praise you, I noticed that the background art seemed like a pretty weird design, with the smiling heads along the top, and then I remembered a painting I had seen, that looked a LOT like that.
In the mid-1950's the artist Jasper Johns did a series of paintings of large target shapes topped with plaster casts of his face or other body parts along the top in little compartments. I'm pretty certain that someone at Firaxis must be a fan of his and used Johns' "Target With Four Faces" from 1955 as inspiration for that screen in the game:

I had that "Go back to Chieftain" thing when I was on Chieftain!!! Maybe that is an egg?

Nope, just an accidental showing of the message.

That's what I was thinking, too.choxorn said:
Maybe this should go on the How to make your game more historically acurrate thread. Although it wouldn't make the game more historically accurate, it would make it less annoying when you lose on cheiftain. I always want to throw the computer out the window when the AI says that when I lose on cheiftain.
Not an Easter Egg. (Unless you know what it means.Elapid said:At the end of the conquests credits it will say the word: Yumbo! Weird huh?
)
I looked it up and it wasnn't in the dictionary I tried at least three differant ones.
It's an inside joke amongst the Conquests Developers.
