What is the worst thing in Civ3 ?

I know! That alone drives me away from trying to win with a military conquest.

I wish we could see the RNG rolls that we are getting, I'm sure we'd at least be sure then that it averages out.

What is the worst thing in Civ3? IMHO, the bugs. This game was very buggy (still is a bit buggy for that matter).

Definitely the 8 Civ Diplomacy screen. Bugs can be fixed and performance can be adjusted but that dern 8 Civ diplomacy screen has been with us since CivIII version 1 and doesn't seem likely to be going anywhere soon. Making trades with everyone in the Shogun Conquest (or any game that has more than 8 Civs) is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome just waiting to happen. There are a couple folks who have worked out some interesting ways to read the .SAV file and show some information but as of now, no one has drawn up a utility to solve the problem. BTW, I'm volunteering if anyone wants to share their source code for reading the .SAV file. Will happily code the interface if you give me a class that reads the data! (Not that it would save all the clicking but would at least let you see the current state of wars and treaties!) Arrrrgh.

YOU MEAN THEY STILL HAVE IT ON C3C?

I have PTW right now and had Vanilla before

I expected them to fix it on PTW, nope. So I hoped at least on C3C... Looks like they failed!

Just allow an option to remove the figurehead Icons and just have a list... that way I dont have to be switching them back and forth

I want more advanced AI, Im talking on Par with Human Strategy.

Should be possible with CIV4 and the Computer power that will be out by then

Mark- hit either control or shift-D. That will give you a list of all the civs for diplomacy.
