Thanks Dan, I really appreciate the way you put up with a lot of crap from people just trying to cause strife.Call me Frank.

Dan: I really like these historical summaries. Who's doing them? Are you an inspiring historian?
Always an interesting read. Good work. Nice artwork too!

while lately I've been relying on Civilopedia text written by two of our testers, Dr. Rex Martin "Doc Martin" and Jason Gleason. This week I was just fresh out of funny material so I used the Civilopedia text nearly verbatim, sometimes I will throw in a one-liner or two to lighten it up a bit, it all depends on how my week has been going

Whoops.......question duckedOriginally posted by ColdWizard

I havent been to the civ 3 site in months....I guess I'm old fashioned but I like surprises. I like not knowing what a game will be like. Its more fun that way, as you get to discover the game yourself.....not have it outlined in detail before you already pick it up.I see the world through bloodshot eyes

The MP question is answered on the updated FAQ: MP will not ship with civ3.Comment

Wow, the cavalry unit is very good.
I have a question for you Dan: Unlike Civ2 will units be used longer? What I mean is that in Civ2 you would never use a unit like Cavalry very often because you then would quickly get a unit that is much better than the Cavalry unit, such as an Armor. Will there be more seperation in between units times in Civ3? I sure hope so because it would add a lot of fun to the game.
Also, you do a good job on the site Dan
However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment

One typo: The inset box refers to standard calvary not cavalry
I'm also surprised that the Cossack is considered superior to the regular cavalry of the era. Cheap, plentiful and highly mobile, certainly, but not superior. The Boyars of the Cossack tribes were notable for their independance from central authority and usually had to be bribed into co-operating with Moscow so its odd to see them as the 'elite'.
Still, enough nit picking. Great to see an update
To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
