Heads UP: Civ3 Conquest Website

i dont like that people have pushed firaxis for fundamentalism fascism is really more important as a government type but that will likely be in the game also.

hittites are for the ancient mediterranean campaign firaxis has been making so it isnt dumb that they included them

What puzzles me is how the Trebuchet fits in. It looks like it is not a UU (I suspect a bombardment UU would not be popular after the Hwacha came without LLB) so it will be available to all civs. But there isn't room between the stats for catapults and cannon for a worthwhile improvement on catapults. So how will it fit in?

bombard of 5?

why not... it is a 25% increase

and it wouldn't require salpeter... that is mayor difference

and more units is always fun

cheers

Maybe they'll increase the cannon, artillery bombard values and set the trebuchet at eight. Also, don't trebuchets have a large range compared to catapults and cannons?
