What have Firaxis done?

[Earthling7]

It's been years since suggestions for what CivIII should be like started popping up on the Internet. I remember seeing a suggestions list as early as 1997. The Apolyton suggestions would probably be enough for anyone to create a game, wether that person ever played a Civ game or not. They covered pretty much everything, from graphics and interface down to the code itself.

Now that the game is less than a month from release, and we have some information, both from www.civ3.com and official "leaks" right here on this forum the time for this question has come.

What (Apolyton) suggestions have been implemented into the game?
