An army to be proud of

I think it would be better if such a scene was used for a "conquered the world" endgame movie. Definitely not in-game.

Commie dictator, if you're always playing a communist govt then you shouldn't have a problem keeping your people happy. Or at least content. Repressed?

Comrads, everyone assumes that war will make your people discontent. I think that in Civ III if the majority of the people are behind war then while at war the citizens should be more happy

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, if that is to be modeled, you should include an aspect of Europa Universalis of Causes Belli...

I meant nothing about government types whatsoever. I said that I don't like parades, neither in real life, nor in a game, and I'm sure most people would find it vain to have military parades, just for the sake of showing the machinery. We had welovetheking and city capture parades in Civ I, something similar could be installed, though. They looked much better than Civ II's announcements.

Mmm. I seem to remember the Allies being quite happy to celebrate the 50th anniversary of VE day with parades and the like. Every country in the world had a massive party on 31/12/1999 and parades on 1/1/2000. For good measure, many had them for the "real" millenium too. Victory parades make good propaganda in wartime and in peacetime they are always popular with the politicians, especially when they distract from the latest scandal.
