Cities under water?

Why bother? Just take them over.

The computer players only do this to hog resource squares. So to counter it you hog them yourself, first.

Actually, what I did was to modify the alpha.txt file so that sea cities could not be built. I found the game very enjoyable after I did that.

We had underwater cities in Civ II !

( Well, Civ II - ToT anyway)

I certainly don't hope so, underwater cities was boring, just like the space cities

Underwater cities won't ever happen in real life, so I don't want to see it in a Civ game.

never say never...

It will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever happen!!

Maybe a colony of a thousand people, but anything larger would be too expensive and require so much technology, it just won't ever happen. I'm not saying it isn't possible. It's possible, it just won't happen.

you can on civ 2 using waterworld mod
on civfanatics site there was a very very kickass mod underwater called waterworld. your settlers were ships and had a build land (mountain option so they had to build in the sea and join with land bridges, its only flaw was the land mass was empty apart from AI cities and it didnt undersand what to do so never filled the ocean.
it may be at apolton

Underwater cities were so annoying in SMAC that I somehow managed to 'turn them off' by fiddling with the textfiles.

How can you guys hate space and sea cities. i found them to be rather enjoyable. They added interesting new strategies to the game. And sea cities will happen, just look at oil platforms they're practically cities at sea already and that's with current tech. i say in a good 30 to 50 years there will be sea cities, and there definitly will be space cities. in fact i am hoping that they add another planet to colonize by your planet, although i know it won't be in civ3

The game stops in 2020 AD.

The game stops recording a score in 2050. You can play forever if you want to.

Taken from "Ask the Civ Team" 9/28
Yes, you can continue to play after the game has "ended", though no score data is recorded after 2050.

Easy to hate them, they were to unrealistic (come on, 6 million people living in an underwater sea or in a spacecity. If they should make them avaliable then they should be more expensive than land cities and the numbers of Max inhapitants should be much lower.

Also a reason why I hate them is (Never played SMAC only ctp1/2) is: The AI was soooooo dumb, which means I always where the only nation in space or undersea

But anyway, space/underwater cities is just not something that should be added, just the concept is way out

I am glad to see that most of the people that has been answering my original thread share the same opinion as me.
No, let us not hope that there will be any kinds of underwater cities in Civ 3.
