the Civ 3 Fleet

[Dida]

What are the naval units in Civ3? so far, I know there are
Trireme
Caravel
Frigate
Galleon
Transport
Destoryer
Submarine
Battleships
Carrier
Nuclear Submarine
Aegis Cruiser

Is there any other that I missed?
so, after you get battleship, the next generation naval flag ship would be the Aegis Cruiser? should there be something in between, such as Guided Missile Cruiser to place the battleship. After all, battleships were outdated right after WWII.

[GaryGuanine]

You get AEGIS cruisers with Rocketry, right? Then I think the AEGIS cruiser unit sort of represents missile cruisers, too. I agree with you historically, and you could just rename the unit the missile cruiser, and it would make more sense.

And the flagship after WWII? The aircraft carrier!

[Melios]

He mentioned the Aircraft Carrier.

[GaryGuanine]

Right, but he asks what the "next generation naval flagship" would be. And that's the aircraft carrier.

Gary

[Dida]

nah, you don't get Aeguis Cruiser until Robotic, that at the very end of the game. There should be a missle cruiser unit that comes with Rocketry or something.

[Jeffrey Morris FIRAXIS]

Privateer.

Jeff

[GaryGuanine]

Yeah, but then there would just be a short time for a single unit that basically does the same thing as the AEGIS cruiser. Maybe you should just get the missile cruiser with Rocketry, and dump the AEGIS altogether.

Of course this is probably all done now, but it's still fun to talk about it.

Gary

[The Andy-Man]

erm. you do get agis with rocetry.

[Provost Harrison]

Don't the English have a Man of War as well? And of course, the privateer

[GaryGuanine]

Yeah, Andy Man's right!

[Dida]

Uh, aren't you all going to go crazy about what a privateer is???

[Provost Harrison]

We are discussing privateers on another thread somewhere around here, and besides, all those of us who are familiar with Col know what the things are anyway...

[GaryGuanine]

Dida,

No, but what I would do is to edit the text files and have submarines and AEGIS cruisers carry cruise and nuclear missiles, it was just a simple 0/1 switch.

i agree Gary, the best thing about Civ is that you can make it the way you want. Well, most of the time.
