Would you make the wonders produce a certain character at a set number of turns? I think the onslaught saga that came out around the turn of the century would be good scenario. Just about every major and minor character from the Marvel universe was involved in that storyline. I also think that a unique scenario would be appropriate for Civ 3. It could take place in the not so distant future, since in the timeline that Bishop comes from mutants are hunted, and it appears that there is some kind of war raging from the comics. I haven't read any of those comics in years though. I think that the Age of Apocalypse would make for a good scenario, or something similar. You would have to have your different groups. There is the Brootherhood of Evil Mutants, The Forces of Apocalypse, X-men, X-calibur, X-Force, X-factor, Generation X (I think that's what it was called), the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, The Sinister Six (or some group that would bring together various villians from the Spider-man comics). I think instead of having a sh*t ton of X teams running around as their own seperate factions, you could incorporate them into one faction and have the X-teams act the same way as an army would in a normal civ game. You could call the faction Xavier's children or something like that. That gives more freedom to incorporate everything X like into the scenario without having to add a big long list of playable factions. You can't forget about us normal folk, after all we do play a pivotal part in the marvel universe. You would need to incorporate the nations that play a major part in the comics. For example, you would need to have the US military in some form if you wanted to take the position to rid the world of mutant kind or whatever you want to do. The non-mutant factions should have freedom to side with whomever, but the mutant factions should be a little more restricted. The brotherhood should be locked in war against any non-mutant faction and the X-teams, etc. The character's that are just kind of hanging out and don't have a faction, I.E. the punisher, Elektra, Daredevil, the Hulk, etc. should be buildable once you gain access to a certain extremely rare resource. That's why I think that making all of the characters buildable with an extremely high cost would work out better than just preplacing them all over the map. Just an idea. Sorry if my post is too long, don't mean to ramble so much.
