Small Civ3 info snippet on new governments

[Stefu]

Forgive me if this is old news, but...

I just read the new issue of Pelit, the pre-eminent Finnish gaming magazine, and it had a snippet about Civ3: Conquests. Maybe three or four sentences, telling basically that there was a Civ3 XP on the way, but what caught my attention was:

"...and new governments like sultanate or a Confucian bureaucracy."

I don't remember if that's the exact form, since I don't have the magazine and the snippet was in Finnish, but I remember quite clearly that it mentioned the Confucian bureaucracy.

Thoughts? It would seem like they're starting to incorporate religion in with the governments.

MY WORDS ARE BACKED BY BIO-CHEMICAL WEAPONS

"Highest are those who are born wise. Next are those who become wise by learning. After them come those who have to work hard in order to acquire learning. Finally, to the lowest class of the common people belong those who work hard without ever managing to learn."

Maybe it'll be a good scientific government...

MattH: dont use capitals... and you forgot mentioning what your words are backed with....

Wow, Confucius. I like it. I wonder what else we could see, a catholic theocracy? A buddhist commune?

[Azeem]

Confucianism really isn't much of a religion, but more of a philosophy. Westerners in the past have often simply denoted what they saw as "religion" simply as "religion" because they did not understand (nor care to understand) what it was that existed in the East.

A "Confucian Bureaucracy" would be similar to the old system used by Imperial China in which you would have to pass a certian exam, which is centered on the Confucian classics, in order to gain an official position.

or a new transitional government:

Anarcho-Nihilist

The Confusion Buracracy is something new that I didn't know before

I assume it is the complex Buracracy of Ancient (Medieval?) China

Since they seem to be really complicating governments, any shot of a Carthaginian Mercantocracy?

There is not so many option in the Editor to create new government!

Do you think Firaxis will add new option in the Editor to create new government? And if yes, what kind of new option Firaxis will add...??

I really want a chat with the Firaxis Team!!!!! We got so many question!

see ya all

[GodKing]

Interesting. It would be nice to add some easier tools into the editor to make new governments. This sounds like it might be something between republic and monarchy. Cool.

[player1]

Hmm...

Maybe some of these are scenario-only governments?

[CrONoS]

Maybe some of these are scenario-only governments?

Yeah, I think your right player1, the government sound too specific(Confucian Bureaucracy, sultanate) ... to be generic government!!

[Louis XXIV]

I hope everything in a scenario is game compatible
