And what when yet such weapons not will be accessible? spy after all can kindle ........

Regarding your first question, yes, I imagine that before a precision bombing mission, you choose the exact target. For regular bombing or bombardment, I imagine you cannot choose the target.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the second question!

With regard to the strategic resources question I think albiedamned explains it better than I did. That is how the game works, seems fairly realistic, especially when that much needed item is in someone else’s territory. Start revving up them tank engines boys! (diplomacy and trading are for wimps!!!)

MANKIND - every time you contact another Civ you get a nice piece of orchestral music, with a gentle bell ringing sound. I think this is specific to each individual nation and changes tempo depending on their mood: polite, annoyed, enraged etc.

JASON BEAUDOIN - haven't got the tech for Aircraft, its going to take a few more hours of play. Maybe I should use some of my old wooden catapults to launch some Archers into the air, perhaps that'll give us some idea what the flying animation is like?

im sorry Blue. I didnt mean to be mean or anything like that. I just thought that you were tricking everyone or something. If i was right, i would have been seen in a good light. Since im wrong, i look like an idiot. All i wanted was a little proof.

Man, people are so quick to call others liars - especially when someone does something useful like offer up hitherto unknown information. First it was Mister Pleasant (the woman who got the email from Firaxis saying no MP), and now BlueHooHoo. Its one thing to be skeptical, another to be an a$$. If I ever got ahold of sensitive information, I don't think I would share it around here with the way some people act.

Thanks for the infor Blue ... I for one won't bite the hand that feeds.

Before the screenshot, BLue hadnt give us anything new.
I didnt say anything about Mr. Pleasent (incase you were wondergin)
Not giving out sensitive information is your right. No one said you had to
I wasn't being an a$$. Only you and some other dude thought I was. You're just overreacting.

This is the best thread ever! I'm now racking my brain trying to think of more Civilopedia entries to ask BlueHooHoo to post!

[albiedamned]

If you get a chance, BlueHooHoo, I would love to see the Civilopedia entry on government types. I don't know if it's one entry describing all the types, or separate entries for each type. If you can post whatever you can, that would be great.

Show the civilopedia screen with Paratroopers (if there are any)

Poor Blue. I can imagine how he feels being hampered by requests . Just over 60 hours till Civ 3 release.

[BlueHooHoo]

Well here you go. I'm not sure if I should post many more, I don't want to spoil the game for anyone.

Went about this that spies would be able to have possibility of deterioration city improvements [ for example by arson ]

I hope that this is intelligible...

Actually it's different for each continental group ( American, European, Middle Eastern Asian......... the different colour groups in the 'civ abilities' table at civ3.com.

Now I've put your mind at rest maybe you could answer me a question -

Can you chose the colour of your civ?

I've seen a lot of screen shots with different coloured civs. I was just wondering if you choose or it is set for each civ.

[BlueHooHoo]

ALBIEDAMNED - there are seperate entries for each government type.

Ok, I understand now. As far as I know, you can no longer use espionage to destroy city improvements. I have not seen that ability anywhere. I believe only bombardment can destroy city improvements.

I guess it might be asking to much to post each entry. Oh well.

Here's another question. I remember reading somewhere that they put snowcaps on the mountains, but that it was a last minute change. I have not seen any screen shots anywhere of snowcapped mountains. Personally I think the mountains are rather unattractive, but I was hoping the snowcaps would make them look better. Does your version of the game have snowcapped mountains, and if so, could post a little snippet of one? Thanks!
