WOOHOO!
quote:
You've already heard a few of the new ideas and innovations that are going into Civ III and there are many, many more to come! We're focusing heavily on the areas of trade and commerce and the role they played in mankind's development throughout history. We think it will be fun to be able to corner the market by specializing in the production of oil, or wheeling and dealing with other civilizations to achieve mutual economic benefits or to cut off resources to a powerful enemy.
You'll also see major new developments in our combat system. For the first time you'll be able to conduct sweeping military invasions using brand new units and military features, including leaders and armies. Another area of focus is diplomacy. We made great progress in the diplomacy system in Alpha Centauri and we plan to radically advance the diplomacy in Civ III by giving the player more power to construct deals to match any situation.
YES! YES! Corner the market in trade and deny products to enemies! WOW! and I like the armies idea! And Sid is leading development! YES! Such a happy day!
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV) -
Wow!! I'm speachless!!
Thanks so much Sid for the update!
I am so very excited about the features that civ3 will have!! Trade and commerce, combat with armies and leaders and a radically improved diplomacy, all sound absolutely fantastic. I am especially excited about the new radically improved diplomacy. It is my favorite part if the game.

No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

This is a great day for Markos and Dan, and I think everyone who loves the game, whether they've found their way to Apolyton yet or not.
It sounds like Sid is talking about something like an energy resource model with mention of resources and cornering the market, etc. Thanks to Sid for the good news. It all sounds just FAR too cool...

I'm not convinced that Sid Meir actually exists.
The truth is out there.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment
