Airpot!!! the greatest wonder of all time.

how to fight an intercontinental war in the modern age?
the answer is airport.

have one transport fill with troops and escort it with ships. Land on a city nearest to a enemy city. Dump the troops and have they take over the city. Rush the airport immediatly before civil disorder, and u can sit back and relax seeing all of ur backup troops sending to the city in one turn. Of course u need to have as many airports as possible on ur main continent.

and see ur enemy crumble

You can airlift in Civ3? I never noticed that. Are you sure?

You CAN airlift from one airport to another, but only one departing/arriving unit per turn - that is HARDLY an invasion!

EDIT: oops, as noted below by Readylander, I have been cheating myself on airlifts! I retract my statement.

In Civ3 you can have one airlift out per airport per turn but you can have as many airlifts in to an airport as you have airports.

In my most recent game I had eight airports on my main continent. When I invaded another continent I rushed an airport in the first city and was able to airlift in eight units per turn.

Ah yes, I just discovered the airlift option. I really don't know how I missed it, I used it in Civ 2 all the time.

Yea just remember you can't airlift a ship silly.
