Sounds as though you may be running a scenario. 'Dictator' doesn't appear anywhere in the standard game as far as I can tell. It does appear in at least one scenario.

Hey! I may be old and senile , but as far as I am aware, any edited .bic file is a "scenario" in the vanilla version of Civ3. My old copy includes a "scenarios" folder, and there's at least one .bic file in there that defines "Dictator" as a leader title.

PS. Is "Dude" a term of affection or abuse in the US?

Your getting a Dell!...

I'm not an expert in US-English, but what I understand, it can be both depending on is talking to who.

Dude (Surfer) = My Good Man (Victorian)
can be either affectionate, neutral, affectionately condescending, or pejorative.

I think it is also regional. In the Midwest (where I am from), it would be offensive or just plain strange. Perhaps if you are from the West, where there are actual cowboys and surfers, it is different?
