bring back the pop-up civ reports on research!! + my list of fixes
After I establish an embassy, I want pop-up boxes that tell me when a civ finishes researching a tech and when civs trade techs with each other, like in civ 2 and civ 1. Its so annoying having to talk to another civ just to check whether they have researched a new tech since the last time I talked to them.
It would also be useful to be able to get a report on the civs like in civ 2, which shows all of their advances and highlights the ones that you dont have. They could even make the trade advisor or science advisor say what advances other civs have.
The other main gripes I have are:
- show "third" movements for troops moving on roads
- have an option to ignore troop movement of civs you are at peace/allied with
- have an option to animate computer vs computer battles
- when nothing is in the build queue and the last unit you built was a unit, then build the same unit next time
- be able to get civilopedia information for all the items in the list of things to build when in the city screen and when you right click
- when you right click on a group of workers, in the text that pops up, write a description of what the worker is building
- add an option to disable BACKGROUND music and leave on EVENT music. I love the civ music when talking to the other civs but I hate the constant background music. I'll have to find and delete the music files in the meantime
Simple additions I would like to see:
- add more random disasters. It makes the world more interesting.
- A few more terrain types would be welcome, or give us the ability to do that through the editor.
Civ 3 has a lot of potential. Once the bugs, balance, editor and annoying things are fixed I think it will be a better game than civ 2 and smac.
>EDIT<
Something I would like to add to my pop-up box argument is to pop-up a box when an AI civ takes over another AI civ's city and how (conquest/culture/whatever).
I think Firaxis took out the pop-up boxes because on huge maps it can take ages for an AI to move, and people would prefer to do something else while they wait. Fair enough, but how about making them an option for people like us who like to be informed?
