  • Civ3 corruption model proved right!

    Enron hadn't paid any federal taxes despite being (on paper, at the time) one of the most profitable companies in America.

    Billions of tax dollars lost in corruption.

    Cvi 3 has it right. democracy cannot guarentee no (or even low) corruption, which is what was ruled in civ2.
    Do not be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed...

    I agree; still, I miss it.

    The same aplies to communism and fundamentalism: corruption, a lot, by the way, exists in the model of trading favors and inluence. Just pick a different "look" to it (religious wisdom, burocratic power...).

      And how many tiles is it from Houston to Washington?

      Or, even better, the primary operations of Worldcom (originally the MCI part) are in the Virginia suburbs!!

      Corruption... deal with it.
      The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

        Must be because we're way beyond the OCN!

        [Totally off the topic] Civ traits ought to have the CHANCE to "migrate" during Age changes. E.g., at entrance to Middle Ages, there is a 1/8 probability for each trait that it will change to a different one.
