  • Landmarks?

    In SMAC, there were landmarks to designate mountains, valleys or whatever significant geographic feature. Has there been any mention of that for Civ3?

    I remember that the list had a mention of naming the geographical features you discover, if thats what you mean. I'm not sure if firaxis is implimenting it, however.

      On the earth map maybe as an option, otherwise, no thanks.

                Current belief is that someone stole BlackStone's login... He received a 50% PCR and ban

                Landmarks- good idea, especially for scenarios... Type in a name of a place over that place... Very good idea

                  i think that landmarks would be alright for the world map that comes with the game but they would not work with random maps and such. it should also be an option to include landmarks in maps you make yourself.

                  and the maps should not be flat!

                    In SMAC/X it wasn't just about naming different parts of the map, some of the areas had special qualities ie Freshwater Sea each square produced an extra food. I would like to see that kind of thing in CIV3.

                          I have read that the editing tools are gonna be "mod maker friendly", but I have not heard mention of this landmark feature, nor seen a screenshot with a landmark. Some have said most of SMAC/X would make it into Civ3, so lets just hope this is one of those included features. It would be a huge boon to scenarios where regions of land are essential but aren't actual cities, such as the West Bank or a DMZ. And if you could reference the area with triggers or events in a scenario "Events.txt" file, that would be that much better..... but now I am wandering into that "Civ4 Wishlist" area...sorry....

                            I think he is trying to increase his rank from settler.
