    Poll Question: Which one of the custom Civ wallpapers has been your favorite thus far?

    Well, with half of the wallpapers revealed, it's high time we have a discussion about them. I have, for the most part, found the new wallpapers to be the main thing I look forward to every week with Civ of the week. My favorite one thus far has been the Babylonian one, i like the text at the top "the glory of creation" with the tower of babel image in the background. I like the Aztec one, the Roman one, and the Greek one. The only one I have been highly disappointed with was Persia. What were they thinking? But I try to change my wallpaper to the new one each week. One question remains: Who the heck is this anyway? http://www.civ3.com/images/themes/briggs_1024.jpg
    It looks like Jesus' image on the shroud of turin almost.

      You don't read enough Science Fiction books, do you?

      Obviously (AFAIK ) it's an image related to a crew member of the Spaceship (Unity?) launched to Alpha Centauri. He seems a monitored human in hybernation chamber, something like what you probably watched at the first "Alien" film.

      About the poll, me too don't love too much the Desktop related to a Civ.

      I would like to see painted more building/monument/achievement related to the real civilization and/or some very "clean" desktop theme I can use at work without my boss glancing at it and thinking I'm playing a real game

      On this line, the only one who fit my requirement is the second egyptian (ticket, postcard etc.).

        AFAIK (IMHO) the wallpapers haven't been top quality,
        but at least they fulfill the requirements for good toilet paper.
