              A Sultanate isn't really Fundamentalism (It would be counter-productive to the ottoman Scientific trait)

                Considering how uninspired PtW was as an expansion, I'll not hold my breath on this one.

                However, the inclusion of the campaigns gives me hope that we will FINALLY be able to create real scenarios in the editor. I'm telling Firaxis right now: If there is no ability to edit diplomacy in the editor, I ain't buying the expansion.

                  Hmm... How many XP's will we buy before they will spring Civ4? That's the question Firaxis is asking now.

                  Of course, being the addict that I am, I will probably buy them all! Looking forward to this one. The campaigns hopefully will be well done.

                    Louis, perhaps, but if it isn't Fundamentalism, I don't know what it is, because it is rather like a Monarchical structure.

                    (And how did those Turks get Scientific anyway?!)

                      With all these mideastern civs, it would be good if after 3000years a civ was taken over by another, or a new civ suddenly started up instead of a barbarian tribe.
                      The mesopotamia region had babylonians, sumerians, iraqi civilisations in the same region but each taking over the other..
                      Maybe a civ can change and have new abilities the way civs change in real life, and also get a new leader with it.. you wouldn't be able to get a new leader every presidential term election though, just maybe 3 per game.

                      I hope some improvements or units reduce the problems of disasters, like granaries stopping famines, weather satellites stopping hurricanes/tornados (interesting idea)

                          They should have had "Islamic Caliphate". It was actually a very productive form of government. The Caliphs embraced science and were patrons of the sciences and the arts. But "Sultanate"? That would just be the same thing as "Monarchy" (in Civ terms ) except with a different name.
                          "When we begin to regulate, there is naming,
                          but when there has been naming
                          we should also know when to stop.
                          Only by knowing when to stop can we avoid danger." - Lao-zi, the "Dao-de-jing"

                            The Ottomans are scientific because they were

                            A Sultinate seems like it would be very similar, fictionalized, or be one of many "totally changed govs"

                              Civ3.com has released some screenshots for the XP2.



                              3 new maps as well.

                              Also, a FAQ sheet.

                                You know, if the guys at Firaxis are as good as their word-so to speak, then I have to say that, judging from the list of improvements, they do match quite closely some of the more "realistic" suggestions made here!!! (i.e. suggestions which could be implemented without re-writing the entire code-which is more Civ4 territory!) What this means is that, at the end of the day, the Firaxis people DO LISTEN to us-in spite of our whining and harsh words .
                                What it also tells me is that the developers ALWAYS expected that CivIII would be a game which constantly evolves, rather than getting old and stale-and extinct!!
                                Words to ponder, I think, and best of luck Firaxis I hope it turns out as good as it sounds .

                                p.s. Any chance of letting your fans in on a few choice bits of gossip, not currently available on your website?

                                Yours,
