What Else could be Included?

[Andrew_Jay]

I'd like to see random Civs. Rather than choose someone like China for their militarist and industrious bonuses, just get get a:

1. random name from the 24
2. random leader from the 24
3. random unique unit from the 24
4. two random bonuses.

eg:
Catherine the Great of the Scientific and Industrious Aztecs with their war elephants.

Suppose that could add some interesting twists to gameplay.

interesting idea, would be wacky fun. the more options, the better.

That looks like a really messed up game of Clue now that I think about it:

Elizabeth . . . in Japan . . . with the Mounted Warrior.

I'd like all commands (namely "upgrade all") to be able to be used by the right click menu, instead of having to pull out my keyboard to hold shift.

[Andrew_Jay]

speaking of upgrades, how about some way of upgrading armies?
I hate it when I end up in a war and turn my economy over to producing military units, turn out my first few tanks and put them in an army. I can't help but feel that I'm simply wasting them since with good research I'll be getting modern armour quite soon.

Wow, you're from Columbia, Missouri Asleep at the wheel? I have two friends from the University of Columbia that work at some Missouri book exchange company up there. They have to travel to my university (Wichita State) three times a year to help with the campus bookstore's book-buyback
Wow, what a small world!

I would like to see a useful modern wonder.

Genetic engineering and longevity, just dont thrill me like they used to. Also on a branch I rarely get to.

UN-I turn that off, though if improved, will turn back on.

I would like to see something like The Internet or something, which would decrease the civ's corruption. Or maybe it could help assimilation or something.

Yeah, I agree, the UN is just useless. I build it only to forbid others in using it.

Here's my idea for The Internet, as a wonder (or at least as a small wonder):

The Internet

Prereq tech: miniaturization
Cost: 1000
Culture: 4
Charactestics: scientific
Effect: increases science output by 10 - 20 % in all cities and reduces corruption by 10 - 20 % on remote (not on the same continent with the Palace or with the Forbidden Palace) cities

This is goofy, but since we're going to have MP, I would like it to be easier to use your face as your leader head. (can you do this now? not sure, but even if you can, it could be easier.) Games like NHL 2002 let you do this, put your face on a player Would personalize the game a bit for me. And would love to see my opponents face with bruises all over it

Sure you can. There are several files you would need to replace, but you just replace say, Bismarck's face pics with your own. What is that program? Flicster? With that one, you can make it "animated", even if it doesn't move, so you can replace the negotiation screen as well. You can have different pics for angry and so forth.

What would really be cool for MP would be webcam support. See if you can keep a poker face.

I would hope they would provide us with toys and extras that can't be provided by the Mod community and that weren't expected to be in the first release.

That rules out :

Scenarios

Extra Civs

Extra anything that can be done with the mod builder (wonders, units, governments)

A full construction kit

Multiplayer

Bug fixes

What they should be doing is using their creativity to bring life to their ideas that haven't worked out as the intended i.e. colonies, the modern era, culture. If we see new features that complement the original design then I will feel like this isn't just a planned staggered release of one game that the publisher has forced upon us to make more money.



I should add that I always use a made up name and details for any civ that I plays so perhaps that's why all the fascination and speculation over new civ's baffles me. Even so the modmaker allows you to create new civ's right now. Why not build the civ you want to play yourself?

Well, now we know what will be included...

Sid Meier's Civilization III: Play The World will include three different Internet and LAN game styles, including turn-based, simultaneous, and for the first time in a Civilization game, a turnless mode. Civilization game fans around the world can now face off in short, fast-paced games like Elimination, Regicide and Capture the Flag or play a more traditional Civilization-style game; in addition the expansion will support "Play by Email" and Hotseat games and will include multiplayer scenario support. Play the World will also expand your Civilization experience by adding eight new "Great Leaders;" eight new civilizations with specialized units for each; new map features including airfields, outposts and radar towers; two new terrain sets that allow players to customize their maps; additional interface enhancements like unit stacking and auto-bombard; and complete game editor and scenario support, including feudal Japan and World War II unit packs, that will allow players to create scenarios from any time period.

webcam support! hah, that would be great. what would be hilarious is if you could watch the face of your opponent while he moved his turn. See him get really pissed off or frustrated at something. Also you could yap at each other through the microphone. great idea

Make The Manhatten Project A Small Wonder

They should definatly make the Manhatten Project a Small Wonder. I don't think a single person is happy with it as a major wonder. There should at least be an option. Does anyone know why it was made a Regular wonder and not a small one?
