I don't know. They are still sometimes fun to watch but it's like they are telling me things I already know.
"We are the most enlightened empire in the world, sire-"
"-no s*** stupid, I could have told you that."
When I first starting playing they were somewhat useful, but now they're just an annoyance to me. I'd leave them in for the new civ players, but I don't want Firaxis to make a big deal out of including them in the game and wasting megabytes of my valuable hard drive.

Frankly, the bells and whistles like the animated high council and wonder movies are fun to watch about twice. I'd trade all of it in a minute for a decent AI, or even a moderately accurate 'goto' feature!

I agree with g_mr_b! The only thing the high council was good for was laughing hysterically at the high pitched voice of the science advisor. What I did was I just opened the mpg found on the CD and watched every single high council thing from beginning to end.

Maybe if we made the whole thing really violent and vulgar, and put the foriegn advisor chick in lingerie and had her get into a big lesbian catfight...oh yeah!!!
You know, with a digital movie camera and a CD-Burner, and a little bit of skill...you could do it.
I now have my project for the next few months. I'm going to peice together bits from porn movies and replace the mpeg files on the disc with my special brand of files. This is gonna be sweet. Any one want to have a little contest to see who comes up with the best replacemant?

This, however, is probably independent of each other. While the best programmers at Firaxis program an AI and a goto-function, the designers do the counsil stuff. But some useless extra designing, can't hurt. It's sells better too.

Well I think that the Council is rather fun, but I agree with the rest of you, I only look at it, when I have nothing els to do.
But it would pretty cool if they could make the high council a real council!!! So that you could ask the questions and they could give you some advice - but then we are talking real AI and we are not quite there yet.
I just think that if they don't include them in Civ3 there are going to be a few people missing them, just like most of us are missing the "Instant replay" from Civ1!!

That's sick 'n sweet, BlueMonday!
I would like to see those advisors to attack eachother directly, getting involved in BM's catfight. And then we can build the wonder The Jerry Springer Show to generate lots of luxuries and reduce science to zero.
Or...
Don't do this, don't include the movies and just build a decent city advisor, like in SMAC

Maybe if they made the council actually influence policy.
I mean... how reasonable is it to assume a democratic or republican leader (and especially an anarchist leader!) can make every decision him/herself freely?!

I'd like to see the High Council in Civ III, personally. I like the Military and Trade guys. Does anyone know if that song the Military guy sings in the medieval era is a real drinking song, or just something they made up?
My one gripe (ignoring the fact that the Science guy is obnoxious and I never talk to Elvis) is the fact that it goes straight from medieval/Renaissance to modern. So you can be an industrialized nation currently researching Electronics, you go to speak to the High Council and suddenly you're at a Ren Fair. Once you discover Industrialization, they should start to look like Victorian-era people, with top hats and so on.
But in all honesty, this is just 'bells and whistles' and really doesn't matter much in the big picture of the game. Just a thought.

I Agree. I liked the movies and counsul for about the first four or five games. But the movies get old and the counsul doesn't help much.
I think they should include it anyway just to make the game friendly and ammusing.
I mean if your debating whether to have it or not b/c it would take up extra space, well than they can make it part of the Max. installation and you don't have to install it.
But for any other reason, why not?

"We need barracks Sire! and quickly!" this is the only advice that I found usefull of them all.
But i have been seriously LMAO of some advices and the way these council members interact with eachother. There were so many different messages and interaction between them, that they enjoyed me for months. I would really miss them if left out in Civ3.
Foreign advisor: "Other nations prown upon our treatures ways sire! let us make peace now and betray them later *big grin*."
About the cat fights, have you ever been calling on the high council when you are in revolt? the hair of the foreign advisor is all messed up, i wonder how that happened?

Personally, I like her best in the primitive era when she's all done up in the toga. How could you say no to THAT?
I just reloaded Civ2 last night to play... and I'll tell you something else... that science advisor in the modern era is quite possibly the most annoying thing in history of recorded media.
"We're number one in SCIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE"

The one I loved the best was the one I never got to see while playing the game (It's in the files, but I've never done bad enough to get it). It the one in the modern era, where the trade advisor says:
"Trade, discover trade." He holds up his hands and points to one, "This is you." Then he points to the other one, "This is a clue." Then he claps, "Get a clue, discover trade."
------------------
Life is like a s*** sandwich, and everyday you have to take a big bite"

Yea the only change I see in the High Council is when I play a scenario! The are always the same in all my regular games:
The military guy complaining about no city walls and no unites.
The science guy praising me all the time.
The trade guy is happy but early in the game he wants more improvements all the time.
The spy chick generally likes the way things are going.
The bad Elvis imitation loves me.
I wonder how they are going to be when I start playing multi for real.
