Civ3...endangered?

That advantage you are talking about is not for single strength value, but for unit type advantages. If civ3 had the unit type advantages, then it would not matter if you put 'single' or 'double' strength value in that sentence.

I never said it was a bad thing. I will post a new thread on paratroopers. I would like to see what the people vote.

A little "wandering" is normally acceptable, depending on the thread topic. After all, that's how conversations normally flow. When you see it getting too far afield, like the paratrooper discussion, yeah, then it's time to start a new thread.

CIV3 will live forever!
Agreed, all of my friends were not strategy gamers, about the closest they ever got was playing Risk.
I would have expected a bunch of D&Ders to be into it, but all they ever wanted to play was Baldur's Gate or Daggerfall...

Echoing Aabraxan, in elementary school, I played Monopoly and Scrabble, in high school I played Risk (normally all weekend with our Risk group), and in college Panzerblitz and other Avalon Hill board games and Naval miniature war games. In the Army, SPI games on various topics, in Seminary, Dungeon and Dragons (got to know and work with Gary Gygax) along with SPI games, then I started doing design work for companies. Now I teach using historical board games of various types, although not the board game version of Civilization. You kids are just not at the right school or live near the Chicago area.

When I was in elementary school, I was playing Dragon Warrior III for NES, in High School, Chrono Trigger and Civ2, among others. 
Wow, a wave of nostalgia just washed over me...maybe it's time to fire up good ol' NESticle for some retro gaming action!
Now here's a line I would not have expected to see:
And just to join in the reminiscing: In elementary school, let's see, Monopoly, miscellanous board and card games . . . oh, and my parents tried to teach me and my brother to play Bridge. For video games, well, I only remember one kid having an Atari system and we played Tank Commander and Pong, if I remember the names right. Some time in middle school, Dungeons & Dragons arrived in my hometown. It was promptly reviled as devil-worship. I continued to play it (& various other RPGs of the tabletop variety, not computer) up through and including college. D&D was pretty much my game of choice in high school. In college, we played RPGs, as well as Risk, Axis & Allies and a variety of other board games.
Going back to the OP, though: How many people do I know that still play Civ 3? Outside of CFC, one or two, maybe. If you count CFC, though, hundreds!

My son plays Civ 4. And one of my coworkers is into Civ 4 also.
I haven't been able to get them to join up here.

Ummm. . . in elementary, Monopoly, Tripoly, Summit, Risk, Careers; in jr high, chess; in high school, bridge, various forms of poker, AH (there was no SPI then), INS (I organized a few sessions of that for my social studies class, very entertaining), & eventually Go (the best of the lot). Afterwards, too many to name
