Is Fried describing his playstyle?

Pshaw, sir, my play style is more "Industrial/Agricultural" or perhaps "Industrial/Military." I build less temples than an Atheist's society meeting until Monotheism rolls around, maybe later.

You ought to see the border-pops I get with the Temple of Artemis, looks like someone set a bomb off in my territory and blew my borders outwards.

I demand the inclusion of the Redneck civ!

C'mon! These guys are a huge subgroup of Americans, and I'm sure every nation has their own sub-derivative of this group as well.

With trash overflowing onto every inch of land they own, they are clearly an expansionist power, and you will never find a redneck who isn't a great believer in God and Country, so this is clearly a religious civ as well! Arabia, beware your rival!

Everyone would fear the UU known as the "Lawn Mower Brigade" with an awesome 5 attack, 5 defense, 2 movement, capable of chopping down forests and polluting land at no movement cost every turn, available with motorized transportation, buildable with grapes and wheat! (For balance issues we have removed their ability to shoot/destroy game and cow squares.)

This is a perfectly good example of a well-qualified civilizaton, and I DEMAND they be included! They are a huge subsection of multiple cultures, and their awesome contributions to folk music and daytime talkshows cannot be denied!

YEEEEEHAW!

hilarious.

I think the debate is settled. With all due respect to FeePhi and SirOsis, Fried-Psitalon will remain "fried", not broiled nor baked, in honor of his new redneck civ!

[SirOsis]

Well if we are going to go with the Redneck civ we should flesh it out a bit more.

I think that if a tile is polluted that the Redneck civ can use it with no loss of productivity.

A new wonder: The Daytona 500. Makes 3 unhappy citizens happy on the same contintent.

City improvement: Brewery. resource required Aluminum.

[Provost Harrison]

Yes, and rather than build a Hospital to get past size 12, they build a trailer park instead

[Shogun Gunner]

Replace the volcano with a tornado targetting your trailer park...oh wait, that's Sim City, sorry.

[Provost Harrison]

Yes, when a volcano erupts, thousands of rednecks die, thus you should get a culture bonus for this happening

[Arrian]

You could make up a new government:

"Gummint"

Corruption: problematic
MP: 1, maybe 2?
Worker Rate: 50%
Draft rate: 1
Unit Support: 2/2/3
Rush: cash rush
Xenophobic
Gov't specific small wonders: Coors Brewery, NASCAR, WWF (or whatever they changed their name to)



-Arrian

[Shogun Gunner]

The draft rate should be higher due to everyone already owning a shotgun and rifle.

[Arrian]

Good point. Perhaps another gov't specific building: National Rifle Association? This could turn out a new footslogger type unit every 5 turns.

-Arrian

[Fried-Psitalon]

All drafted units would start as veterans; these guys are out shooting deer every weekend, after all.

[Arrian]

Nah, real redneck hunters are the ones who manage to shot themselves or their fellow hunters. Conscripts for sure.

Uhmm... for Rednecks shouldn't that be Billy-Bob-Sue-Bubba Junior Junior?

I concur. Israel may be a "small" culture by the standards of the more mundane historians, but if you account for the effect they've had on almost all the other world civilizations, their influence is tremendous!

For example, the Christian religion/culture which represents a large portion of the global population can be traced back to one spectacular Jew, Jesus of Nazareth. Look at how many people value the Bible/Tanakh as a holy book!

Also not to mention the important role of Judaism, as well as the fact that through the Diaspora, Jews are virtually omnipresent in the world today.

Though I can see the point in Civ3 of not being able to accurately represent all of these things in a game, I would still like to see some Israelites. Perhaps in some future expansion, if we're lucky.

I wanted to have some Israelites as well, but its not P.C......

Every empire has dialouge that makes it look bad(mean/nasty)-they are afraid people would complain about it being antisemetic..... even though it isnt, and yes im Jewish and I want an Israeli civilization
