I really do wonder if it was intentional, because the 50%->64% jump point has a huge effect on gameplay - IMO a pretty good one too. It makes it so that he who best manages bonuses can wipe the floor with the other guy since even a .001 advantage in strength can tide the odds in your favor...

1 extra GP... per city. That adds up. For every city that can generate a GP, you get an extra instant-wonder, or culture bomb, or tech, or trade-route or whatever. Surely this is non-trivial. The fact that you get your GPs in half the time also counts for a lot! Rushing the right tech early on...

bump for the morning crew

Mmmmno - I could have sworn I saw the Epic wonder and the Scotland Yard in there.

Nah - without SDI nukes are way too uber. It would just be nice to let you get rid of it somehow. What really REALLY bugs me are nuclear shelters - those are way way too effective. It should be in the 30% range, not 75%!

Well I have this nice stack of ICBMs that's just itching to get dropped, except my main enemy happens to have SDI ready - and it's quite effective. I also have big-ol stack of bombers and a very sizable regular army (tanks, mech inf, the works - i already won this game via spacerace - i'm...

a "suggestion" for PTW (or general thought on a good idea) : It would be nice if they would allow cities in PTW to continue to be civ specific even at and after industrial age. The current industrial era and modern cities look the part of today because they look like most modern cities do...

That makes sense since they dont want cheap-asses to just reload thier game whenever they loose a battle. What is even more likely however is that the list is generated anew with the creation of a new game - or perhaps something a bit more complex then that. Perhaps woth looking into "Not...

The funny thing about copy protection is that it never affects pirating - it only gives trouble tro legit users? Why you ask? Because pirates (ARGH!) know thier stuff a lot more the your everyday legit gamer. Any pirate (ARGH!) knows how how get around SafeDisk 2.0 - I find it funny that so...

Sweet - armless victory. This means I won't have to intrerupt my engeneer's "flatten and farm or mine every and rail every square of land i own" because of some bastard zulu causing trouble. I can just keep builidng up my infrastructure and make all his cities my personal culture *****es. yes

Has it occured to you that the other screans hots (I forget what mag - a british one that someone scanned) looked A HELL OF A LOT BETTER that this? I am guessing the game will look much more like those pretty pastelish artsy shots than he icony stiffy sticks of graphics that are there. Liek...

The person who wrote that is probably dead by now , but just to make a note: Einstein proved that time travel is thoeretically possible. However I remember the process involved 2 electromagnets the size of Jupiter powered by something equal to a few million times the power of our sun, and also...

I think DVD-ROMS will be much more accecible and widespread by the time civ3 comes out... So they will have a DVD option and an 8CD option or something like that. I personally cant wait for DVD disks... alll that data, the cinematics will be happy good. And than there is the blue laser 50...
