He's talking about the orange stuff on this screen:

http://www.civfanatics.com/cgi-bin/autoimage.cgi?/civ3images/avault102301/civ304.jpg

I think that orange stuff is pollution...

 

[spycatcher34]

Ooooh maybe its pollution. Or mybe its somekinda affect of global warming or somethiun.

 

[Morten Blaabjerg]

Could it be some sort of fire? -I know they said that natural disasters were out.. Which build is this screenshot from? -Maybe burning chemicals?

-btw, the railroads STILL look like spaghetti..!

 

[spiky82]

it could be pollution...the other possibility might be swampy terrain or effect of global warming though.

Oh I hear you I hate that! Who builds a stringy road in the first place???

You know it misgt be some kind of resource.

Havent yall ever seen The Simpson?...maybe they stole their idea and only made it orange...lol...nuclear waste...hehe...

As for the stringy railways...yes...its not pretty...but have yall actually looked at a larges scale road map of the US?...it looks just like that...

Is it orange to show that it (probably pollution) came from the orange civ?

Hmm, its very possible its pollution, but my first thought was that it was uranium. Bright orange goes well for radioactive heheh. Could be wrong though

Can someone count the number of cities in the mini-map in this screenshot?

Phew.. 236.. plus or minus 10

 

[spiky82]

*gasp* there must be at least 150 cities in this shot
you want them counted? yikes!

 

[spiky82]

wow xoque...i envy your patience to count them all, and the amount of time to actually count them one by one

Good job Xoque! You are a true CivFanatic!!!

Ruh ROh!!! Look at that fearsome-looking pink armor that the french have hovering near the english border! Sorry, but thats gotta be the gayest color for any civ to end up with

 

[spycatcher34]

Upon further examination i've found a little purple dot thing near the border to the left of york. Look for yourselves.

 

[Psiwar]

There are other dots in the map. It's surely a resource...maybe gems or something.

The orange stuff really looks like pollution generated from London (old dirty london ), just notice the pentagram like symbol in London's caption text. That might be the symbol to indicate that the city is polluting.

Another challenge...how many diferent civs can you sort out in minimap?

 

[Magellan]

How 'bout saltpeter? Isn't that orange? I don't think I've seen a screenshot of saltpeter before.

 

[xoque]

I myself thought that symbol meant it was the Civ's capitol.. but it could be either I would think the others would have it too since they're of similar size and so they would also be polluting most likely.
