  • Dont know if that is of use: The CIA Factbook

    For example lots of descent information on every country in the world: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications.../indexgeo.html

    and here info on Austria http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications...k/geos/au.html

    There it says Austria has
    Military manpower - fit for military service:
    males age 15-49: 1,733,681 (2000 est.)

    And the total pop of Austria is:
    8,131,111 (July 2000 est.)

    I dont know if that is of any use for CIV3. Maybe who knows.

    Btw I noted the US has about
    Military manpower - fit for military service:
    males age 15-49: 2,056,762 (2000 est.)

    not that much more. Though there are about
    70,000,000 available

      The book is useful - I use it to help me make scenarios. However, even though it is an 2000 version some of the information in it is far from up to date.

      BTW:
      I noticed the manpower figure too. IMO this is an error - Americans are not that unfit.

        Maybe that has something to do with Conscription and Standing Army.

        Maybe this could be implemented in Civ3 as well.
        You got to chose between these two modes. Conscription however takes 5-10 turns to become effective.

        Conscription:
        Newly produced units start out with better experience, though no experience is earned when they stay in barracks...
        A little less support costs.
        Less moral.

        Standing army:
        Newly produced units start out with less experience though they get experience when they stay in barracks.
        More support costs.
        More moral.
