The whole topic is off topic but it is fun and it also shows us the importance of the new 'nationalism' thingie in the civ 3 (whatever it might be...) hats off to firaxis hehehehe

I hope you're not intending that I belittled anyone's nation. I don't think I did anything like that. When showing my nationalism/patriotism I'm sorry if I did belittle somebody's country in any way, even though I don't think I did.Point is everyone should be proud of their nationality but not to the point of belittling someone elses.
If I join the Navy I will be able to visit a lot of places with the Navy. With the Army I would primarily be at one place. That is why I want to join the Navy.Why are you joining the Navy? Join the Army!Hooooah!
Salutations from the StatesGreetings from YuripHowever, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment

Unless we (the world) start using Punic War (actually just the Romans wanted to do this) tactics with getting off of our boats/ships and hopping on the enemies boat/ship to fight hand to hand combat. At this point I think that is very unlikely.Plus you never have to actually see the face of the enemy.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true?

To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - DrosedarsComment

"But they do have hand to hand combat education in the navy?"
I'm not sure that they doexcept for certain jobs. I work in a joint environment and a lot of the Navy and Air Force folks don't know anything about hand to hand or even how to fire a rifle! No joke.
It would be interesting in Civ 3 if they had a marine detachment thing like in SMAX but one that became obsolete when technology made it impractical.

Kick the Celts out of Civ III.
We don't need Celts...
Anyway keep the Celts but don't give them a special unit. Instead give them the civilization feature of Scottish Cuisine. Adds one to happiness in every city but their troops operate at 75% reduced efficiency due to poor diet

Hm, that would mean a bonus for French and Italian troops, as well as a penalty for Germans and English. I like the idea but the side effects are less than believable.

In Age of Kings, the Celts have the Woad Raider. It's not very useful, and it wouldn't incorporate well into Civ, but I recommend it anyhow, because I like the word "Woad"

I say kick out the Zulus and the Sioux. They were barbarians, not civilizations.
I know it's politically and geographically correct to include them, but it still would be silly.CSPAComment

In boot camp they take you to a rile range and let you shoot for 1 or 2 days but that is about it. You have to remember in the Navy you have a job for the most part. That job is to run the ship. Maybe fired a gun once in a while. Guns on Ships normally start at 3" and bigger. There are small arms but normally lock up, unless you are on watch.
I was in security division at Naval Training Center in San Diego during the Cuba Missile Crises and they took us out to the gun range and taught us how to handle and fire small arms. For a while they were going to arm us, but as the crises slow down they did not.
However I did very well shooting and still to this day retain the ability to shoot very well.Comment
