    Maybe (but who am I?) you should have posted it here on general civ3 forum?

    It's too late for me now (4 am) to respond properly to your well reflected thread. However, by posting this I'll get the subject to general actuality again ...

    That ain't bad isn't it?

    I'll be back .

    I probably should have, but it is not explicitly about designing a Civ3/4 tech tree, its about a Civ tech tree, for any game, for the Ultimate Civ (when it finally comes along).
    Its an exploration into what makes a good tech tree. There may be follow up threads too.

    There were fewer techs with Civ 3 than in Civ 2!!

    Civ 3 needs a lot more, such as:

    Hullmaking; the Saddle; Stirrups; Squierarchy (to get Men-at Arms); Volunteerism; Advanced Naval Warfare; among others.

    See the LWC mod on the forums, by Plutarck.

    We also need more Wonders. How come The Internet was not a Wonder??

    I thought that post of your's, Wombat, was pretty cool and interesting, and I think you have some great points


    but, I thought that we already had the ultimate Civ-game, CtP2, what with SLIC and all.

    off topic (we appear to live close to one another )

    Is me dit verschieten .

    Misschien kan je overwegen ook Antwerp(en) toe te voegen om zo de naam en faam van onze 'prachtige' stad mee uit te dragen.

    Wink

    Nice hearing from you

    Daylight's already glooming (?), I'm as tired as King Albert (trembling) and I've encountered a fellow city dweller who lives right around the corner?

    The world is a small place, isn't it?

    Off to sleep now. Take care.

    True, but many Civ3 fans refuse to recognize this. That's why IW doesn't say that we already renamed modded CtP2 to Civ4

    Every tech tree can be improved.


    I'm glad people liked the post. Some more replies would be nice...

    De eerste keer dat ik hier zoveel Nederlandstaligen zie. In 1999 had ik het gevoel alsof ik de enigste was van meer dan 5000 mensen.

    And I thought we have discovered that CTP2 is the real Civ4.

    Ok back on topic would about a non linear tech tree that is dependent on goods, for example if one of your city harvests dye than you should be able to research explosives if none of your cities owns that good sorry for you, but first you have to know a resource and than you can think about it how you can use it.

    Hi Ben! Just bumping the thread for you

    maar zijn we dan nederlands of vlaams(= lees antwerps)
    Ach, iedereen weet toch dat Vlaanderen de 13e provincie van Nederland is

    Locutus, seems that we've also respawned here
    Today Civ3-General, tomorrow Apolyton, next week the world! (Hey, a guy can dream, can't he? )

    Tja, ik heb mij bijna altijd tot de Civ3, SMAC en GGS forums beperkt. Ik veronderstel dat de echte actie op Off-Topic is.
    Civ2, Off-Topic, en sinds een paar maanden nu ook Civ3... D'r zullen hier in de laatste paar maanden in Civ3 alleen al zeker 50 Nederlanders gepost hebben, schat ik zo (en dan tel ik de Belgen en emigranten nog niet eens mee).

    This would be although a good idea for this thread it went a little bit to off topic.

    Who ever actually won an internation tournament for national teams?

    And who ruled Belgium less than 2 centuries ago?

    PS: Locutus, wat is dat met die Finnen?
    (what's the deal with those Fins you've referred to?)
    What! You don't know?! You must be the last Apolytoner who doesn't know then
    I'm lazy so I'm not gonna write it out, I'll just repost from Juize at CFC:
    There is this guy, Bugs, who is known as Apolyton Smiley Factory for his funny comments - he decides to start a thread where he bashes finnish Apolyton members in humorous method. After LightE (Finnish 'poly poster) sees the thread, which is funny for a while, he decides to put a link of it to MuroBBS, a major Finnish forum with over 20 000 members.

    Needless to say this Bugs's thread (Called 'Evil, evil, Finland') is crowded with newbie Finns which are registered and think that Bugs is serious with his flaming.

    Unfortunatly, some idiot in MuroBBS (unknow) decides to start spreading the link via IRC and other forums.

    'Evil, Evil Finland -thread had within a week 30 000 views
    (more than Civ3 - General help thread, which has been sticky in Civ3 -forums since the release of Civ3. Server had crashed twice because of the thread.

    Thanks to Bugs, Apolyton now has massive hordes of newbie finns spamming on there
