I'm sure anyone who has PtW has seen one of these - when you raze a city, or a Civ gets eliminated from the game, city(s) become a pile of rubble. I absolutely cannot stand these blights on an otherwise pleasing landscape. Is there any way to get rid of these piles of rubble, besides building cities on top of them? Are the ruins of the Persian city I razed in 1000 BC to steal its iron going to be around 3000 years later? What were the Firaxians thinking when they decided to put this into the game? Am I the only one bothered by this?

Actually, just move one of your workers to the site and build either a road, mine or irrigate - The ruins will disappear after the terrain improvement is complete.

I like the idea, it's the graphic I hate. It looks like mush. It could have been much cooler (but I guess that's what one could say for all of their uninspired graphics for Civ3. Thanks for the mods, Sn00py!)Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Re: Those f-ing ruins!!!!

From The List, section Radical ideas:
11. If a city is destroyed by natural means and not by another civilization then the destroyed civilization’s cities turn into ruins. If another civilization discovers these ruins then they get whatever gold and technology that the civilization had.Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made - Psalms 139.14a

I like the ruins. Adds a nice touch to razing the cities.Comment

I have to vote with good idea, bad graphic... it just looks like a huge pile of gigantic blocks of sandstone and not like actual ruins... they should be simpler and not take up so much space and hide the terrain so much ... just a few ruins or blackened buildings would be good ... some pillars or something...
Guess its "waiting for a nice terrain mod" time

I like the ruins, it let's you know something was there. Anyway, it's a pile of rubble, it's not supposed to be atractive.

I like it. The graphics could use some work though. A nice touch I'd like to see is if you build a city on ruins, it prompts you to name the city the same as the former city that was destroyed. Or something.Comment

Ruins could get completely buried under the new city or landscape and discovered with archaeologists in modern era. The discoveries could give culture and tourism boost.
Ruins is a great idea that leaves an idea of history on the land.
