Perhaps a stupid question. But why are rivers so uselless in CivIII. I remember that in Civ II the movement rate of units was increased when you moved alongside the river. Why did the remove that?
Another thing. Why not make it impossible to cross rivers without a road ( bridge) over it? ( or perhaps just for wheeled or mounted units). This would give rivers more strategic importance. Rivers could be used as natural borders or as a way to keep the a.i. out of your territory. And bridges would be valuable assets in an empire.
Oh yes and the civ that discovers a river ( and perhaps also a chain of moutains) should be able to name it. ( seen that in a game called "conquest of the new world")
This shouldn't be to hard to implement, would it?
