I keep seeing these "No war for oil" signs of war protesters and think how stupid they're being. Then I come home, start up my Civ3 game and realize that I'm in a war for rubber!

Always rough to be with out a key resource and have to become beligerent. If only those civs would except my kind over of a nice world map. -
I often have to start a war for oil because I need to keep pumping out military units in order to crush my enemies.
Hmmm....
I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

in my current game, i'm on the smallest continent, i have to wipe a guy off to control the whole continent, but still the smallest, and no oil. So, i'm in the same situation as Japan in WW2. I'm forced a to launch surprise attack on a guy way more powerful than me to get oil.==========================

Me on the other hand I get the oil hog. My enemy Japan lost its access to oil and must attack me with marines. While I roll over em with my tanks.Comment

I've only ever warred over oil when I have 2 supplies or less due to the unreliability of all supplies.
The resource I war over the most on the other hand is uranium. I don't want other civs manufacturing their 'weapons of mass destruction'. Having your primary commerce/science city, your capital and several other primary cities nuked in one of Gandhi's sneak attacks is no fun.
And it pays tremendously to be able to build nuclear plants while everyone else is stuck with coal, hydro or solar plants."Corporation, n, An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." -- Ambrose Bierce

I'm wondering why Iraq haven't built more tanks, they have plenty of oil to do so.
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Maybe they haven't researched the tech yet...I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"Comment

In the game war is caused by the need for resources

Their cities are built in desert, so they don't produce enough shields.Originally posted by Skanky Burns

Remember, they are Despotism so they have rampant corruption, waste, and their workers aren't effective. Plus, they don't have factories so it would take them 120 turns to build a modern armor. 
To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Let's not forget that they have a very small civilization with few cities so if they are following AI strategy, they're probably trying to build Cure for Cancer in one city, Longevity in the other, and still have settlers to around spread out their empire.

Can't they just rush buy with citizens?

They've spent all their money on building palaces. Haven't they realized yet that building a palace only relocates it from one city to another?
Lime roots and treachery!
