Lord Gay

Hi all! I'm new here so let me start with a little intro. Even though I've had Civ 3 for years, it somehow never occurred to me that there would be gaming forums for it. Even though I've visted forums for my other games, I guess I figured the only thing you could have for Civ 3 would be maps, and who needs those when the game generates them anyway?
I've recently stumbled across this place, and have been reading a lot on how things work. This has answered a TON of questions on things I could never figure out, and had really pissed me off about the game. I'm now actually enjoying the game, and have been poking around here for ways to continue to increase my fun.
I only have vanilla, no expansions, and have picked up two graphics changes so far (mood badges and irrigated tiles). The mood badges are awesome!
The reason for this post is to ask what rules changes people have made to improve or balance the game. I'm also interested in what other goodies there are to add fun, but mostly I'm curious about rule changes.
In my game I feel that bombard units suck, so I've doubled the values of artillery, ships and planes. I've tweaked military units, and fiddled a bit with some other things.

It has some interesting ideas, and I'm curious if others have, or can, share the specifics of changes they've made. Remember, all of this is brand spanking new to me. I only just learned that there are expansions for the game; I know nothing of what else exists to enhance play. Thanks for anything you care to share!
