Not to pick on you too much, Alex, but it's brought, not brang. You've already seen 'futer' and 'proberly' corrected. Please try to use a spell checker in the future. Not doing it makes you appear less intelligent then you no doubt are. Believe me, I know how many typos you can make when you're typing fast and not really paying attention.


As for your topic, I don't know that I'd like to see too many future advances in CivIII. Certainly, I'd like to see a few more techs added on, carrying us past the current age into the future, but in my opinion, most people have pretty much finished the game by then, and there's no need to go further. The only exception that I can think of would be in a scenario-but you can edit the techs for that anyway.

On the other hand a MILITARY space station would be just about the ultimate weapon. It wouldn't even need nuclear weapons, really big rocks would do very nicely as weapons. In the game such a station would give it's owner virtually unlimited bombing power without the drawback of nuclear fallout. This might make a convenient end-point to the game. The first player to build his armed space station wins by virtue of his implied ability to pound any opponent back to the stone age.

The rocks would have to be very big indeed , lest they would burn up in the atmosphere on re-entry and do nothing.

While I know the technology is possible (and would no doubt be effective), can you just imagine the 6000 year old Roman Emperor going to the 6000 year old American Emperor after they've been fighting for decades with jet planes and tanks and missles and saying, "Alright Abe Lincoln, if you don't give me 4000 gp, I'm going to throw a really big rock at you!"

If I were Abe, I'd probably have a hard time keeping a straight face.

Exactly my opinion too.
