Now why would monks act as a scout unit? Seriously, why not just add that ability to the current scout. I think monks rather spend their time in monasteries than gathering intelligence information for emperor. Besides, don´t fighter units already have the recon mission ability?

Nice work Yoda Power and Embryodead! I must say this mod is by far the best I have ever seen for civ3! Only one little thing I noticed when trying the new version, floodplains give only 2 food (+1 with irrigation, same as grassland), is this on purpose? I don´t remember it being so in...

How about scholasticism/monasticism to religion civics? Should become available during middle ages and effects could be something like +1 free scientist per state religion monastery.

Are you still looking for something to add with the next patch? Here´s some ideas I have: -Postal system, could be a small wonder? I read somewhere that the development of modern postal system started in England some time around 16th century. Don´t know what it would do, maybe the normal +1...

I find the lifespan of tatar unique wonder very short, is there any way to extend it? If you have chosen the path to conquer your neighbours and expand in territory you tech very fast and get maybe 3-4 tumens before parliament is available. You get it after chivalry & mongol unique tech and...

Any good strategies other than waging war & expanding that way for civs with bad starting locations (no room to expand enough) like England or Sicily etc for teching? Eg. is city state & ducal palace enough? I always fall behind in tech when playing peaceful game with small civs even when...

I agree some civs should have multiple unique units, but that just doesn´t do for everyone. IMO not everyone needs two or three unique units/buildings and as said before it´s hard to think of multiple UUs for everyone. They could have something else unique and balancing instead. Some civs could...

Furthermore, this "patent"-thingie could be developed so that if you´ve been victorious in battles and one of your units have acquired incredible amount of xp & good promotions, you could "sacrifice" this unit in one of your towns to be able to make same type of units with same promotions from...

Isn´t it quite usual nowadays that military (maybe not units, but) technologies/vehicles and such are being traded and bought to countries which can´t manufacture that kind of vessels themselves? In game we can gift units but who on earth does that in real life? I was thinking if civ A had, say...

So if city A can trade with foreign cities Z, Y and X (assuming they all belong to same civ), why can´t city X trade with A, B and C? Is the AI limited to only have one trade route with human player per city?

IMO great spies and spy specialists could be removed, and all the wonders giving great spy points would add GG points instead. Then maybe replace spy specialist with military instructor specialist, giving +1xp to units.

How does the game determine which cities does city X trade with? I mean, is it totally random or does the game pick the most profitable routes?

Ok, thanks! I´ll see what I can do... So how much ram is enough? 1024? More? I guess the more the better but what´s "minimum" for civ?

It seems I can´t play even the smallest map without having to wait like 5 minutes for my turn after the early stage of the game. The start goes well even in larger maps but somewhere around turn 100 (?) the loading times between turns are just unacceptable! Especially when waging wars, does the...

Then again, isn´t wheel or railroad more an invention than a technology? For me it´s the same, if an invention is important and necessary then there´s nothing bad about having it as a technology.
