A majority of respondents in the info poll want discussion on customizing DG3 with the editor/mod pack, etc.

While I'm not in favour of modifications in general I'd be particularly opposed to that one (assuming I'm right in thinking it allows expansionist civs to build these faster), since just being able to build granaries from the off is a major advantage IMO.Originally posted by Chieftess
I'd be willing to have a game with 'small' changes. Here's a list:
- Granaries and Hospitals would get the expansionist attribute
I believe they were only refering to Radar Artillery, which is at least a step in the right direction. Both mechanized infantry and truck-towed/self propelled artillery were invented at the same time as the panzer division. Both should have the same movement as the armor they support.Artillery should never move faster than infantry. The only time bombards moved faster than the grunts was horse artillery and even that didn't move a whole lot faster.
Not usually true. In both world wars, the armor attached to traditional foot infantry units was horse-drawn, as was the transport for the infantry units themselves. Thus, a division/corps of the Allies or Central Powers in World War I might be reflected as a 6-10-1 infantry unit permanently stacked with a 12-1 artillery unit. The typical non-motorized infantry force from World War II would have similar stats.Armor is faster than artillery
The Germans, for World War II, invented new types of large-scale units in which ALL the transport was mechanized, using trucks, half-tracks and other kinds of vehicles. They deployed them as early as 1939, as panzer divisions, motorized divisions, and other names. These would be the equivalent, in the game terms noted above, to units of all arms -- tank, infantry, and armor -- with movements of 2 or 3. The German advantage all through the war, until late in 1944, was in a superior operational doctrine, allowing greater strategic mobility. Therefore, even though the Americans, British, Soviets, and Italians all produced faster and better machined tanks than the Germans, the panzer gets a 3 movement because the Germans routinely employed their armor and supporting units in a more mobile and flexible way on the battlefield.The panzer in Civ3 moves faster to reflect the blitzkrieg attack but German tanks were no faster (strategically) than Allied ones.
Modern armor is faster than mechanized infantry to reflect the command presence of main armor on the battlefield (an Abrams is not faster than a Bradley). Radar artillery could be moved almost as fast as mechanized infantry tactically but not strategically. Definitely not as fast as modern armor in any case.
Lethal bombard for all arty units, save perhaps Catapults.
