Other than the obvious already stated here... some of the lesser nations in a WW2 scenario should be: Switzerland, Poland, Spain (involved in its own civil war), Egypt (just because of the Suez canal), Austrailia (for the Pacific Theather) and the Phillipines, Belgium, the Netherlands, and...

:cool: Rails are great..I would like to see that coal isnt the only resource that you can sue to enable it. I also believe that if you have a forest your civ should be able to use it instead since many locos ran on wood, not coal... also... and I hate this idea because as a lover of...

...Aristotle told me to get away from the palace for a while and "give thanks" for the many years of good leadership to the Idealists, and so I did... then came the news, the Russians had attacked the city of Halicarnassus! We were at war once more. My comrades agreed that it is war to end the...

Ghandi traded horses for our spices, maps for maps and gold for knowledge, I felt a kinship for this great man who should have been born an Idealist! Aristotle said we could make great music, and so we built a Catherdral by our grand musician Bach. Aristotle siad we could build great houses of...

Our cities grew, our people prospered. I admit that even Idealists need entertainment; so I sent Homer out to the cities in need to tell them stories and give them some relaxation and happiness. We built the Pyramids, the Oracle, the Hanging Gardens and the Forbidden Palace... we built our roads...

History is the present, it is the way we are, it is where we are going and it is forever.... I am Socrates, Leader of the Idealists (aka Greeks) and I must relate to you a story of our journey into building the greatest philosophical realm to ever be. I, Socrates, Philosopher King of the...

II receive the game tomorrow and I know that I posted I would be the Greeks on a large map with 8- 10 civs.. I still am leaning that way but I must admit to being quite intrigued with the Aztecs, another great society I have always admired. I also think I want the largest map possible and maybe...

As it has become quite apparent, I can see by the posts and the topics and the many threads that Civ 3 like its predecessors has caused us as gamer to re-evaluate our tactics and strategies.. the mark of a great game in my opinion. I think most of the people posting are veteran gamers of Civ in...

Don't forget all you gamers.. there is "corruption fixing method" in the Civ Mod section.. that should help! :D

:scan: Well I'll try my hand.. but one observation.. I see lots of great generals and warriors on these lists, but as Yoda once said "Wars do not make one great", great leaders I feel do not always have to be the great generals or warriors of a culture. I agree that Churcill should be a...

:enlighten With all of these problems, especially corruption, has anyone thought of the novel idea of WRITING TO THE DESIGNERS about all this? I mean, if all of us were to have a massive writing campagne to Firaxis, Sid Meier or whomever don't you think we could get a response, some answers...

what I love about Civ 3 is that..I ALMOST HAVE IT!! Tuesday or Wednesday..it'll be mine..all mine.. hahahahaha!!!![party] "...well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels, I never was one of them money hungry fools. I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools, and thank god I'm...

:enlighten Come on everyone chill!!! Do you remember the first time Civilization came out? It is STILL a great game, even now with all the improvements to compputers and software, etc.. We gamers need to be patient and let Civ 3 take its place amongst the Civilization family... I believe it...

What other possible civ specialized units would you recommend for each Civilization according to the time period? and shouldn't each Civ get a specialized unit for each new age? (Wouldn't that be cool?) or would there be better units you could suggest that may have been put into the game...

:scan: As I posted before: the Koreans, the Indonesians, the Vietnamese, the Armenians, the Mexicans, the Olmecs, the Cherokee, the Hopi, the Zuni, the Anasazi, the Cambodians, the Venetians, the Inuit, the Prussians, the Toltecs, the Welsh, the Austrailians...so many civs!!! I am glad so...
