I'm not really concerned about that. They surely will continue with the Civilization tradition, so there will be a color for each civ (the Romans are white, the Spanish are yellow, etc). No need to play in blue again and again, that was an Age of Empires mistake. Firaxis won't do the same, I believe.

Fiera, I'm sorry you feel this way. Didn't you get cheesed of playing solely in white, in all your single-player games of Civ II?

A change is as good as a rest, as they say. Surely Firaxis could include a very simple 'customisable colours' option, which traditionalists like your good self could switch off?

Anyway, back to the original topic of the new(ish) official Civ III site:

Great site, layout, unit pics etc....

isn't it about time for an update though?

1st- Well, yes I forgot about the ctp animations -when it was released, it endured only for a week on my harddisk- , it should be something like that...

2nd- It is funny indeed that we are trying to squeeze meaning out of the tiny bits Firaxis throws at us, but they must be aware of the obsessed civ community out there, and post whatever info. they do with that in mind. pathetic, maybe...

No, in fact I always played in yellow, as the Spanish.

Agreed. But you could easily mod the cities.gif file in Civ2, at least in FW, so that the whites could be made brown, if you wanted to. I believe that ability will be somewhere in CIv3.
