I agree with monolith that the game seems to be too lopsided toward the early civs. Fortunately we will soon start to see the more modern civs so that we can evaluate the true strengths and weaknesses of each.
I also agree that CivIII is very much a different game in some fundamental ways to CivII. Direct comparison will not be accurate. I'm hoping that combat is as improved in CivIII as it was in CivII over its predecessor."I was a young man with unformed ideas.

I'm hoping they add the "combined arms" idea they had in CTP1 & 2. That way people won't just build the strongest 2+ movement rate unit and will actually have to build a balanced military.Originally posted by Satis5d

it'll probobly be good for capturing workersPrince of...... the Civ Mac ForumComment

That's what the Aztecs did, anyway. Capture slaves. Never saw it that way, either."I agree with everything i've heard you recently say-I hereby applaud Christantine The Great's rapid succession of good calls."-isaac brock

Sure it must been the only good think of ours awful WWII tanks! We had better rewards from infantry heroic resistance on some battle, some sub - frog men action and pilots fighting against modern Allies planes with old and with bad engines planes...
