I started this game at warlord level, as the persians, and on a standard random map, with 8 civs. I began on a peninsula which I colonized by the Middle Ages, without incident, except for a small war with England. Now I am in the late industrial age, and am a world power. I am a democracy and earning about 60-100 gold per turn (mostly due to Wall Street). Because of all this money I have built a rather sizeable army for deterrant/self-defense/fun. About this time, America, with whom I have a mutual protection act, is attacked by the Aztecs. Automatically, I, France, and Zululand declare war on the Aztecs (France and Zululand both had mutual protection acts with America). I saw that the Iroqouis (spelling?) were bordering the Aztecs, so I got them to sign a military alliance. At the same time, France got England (most powerful civ) and Babylon to do the same. So that means, all civs are at war with the Aztecs. I send out about half my navy, leaving the other half for self defense, and start bombarding Aztec coastal cities. While this is happening I build a transport and load it with Infantry and Artillery. As the transport is on its way to the Aztecs, I see about 30-40 english ships, along with about 20 ships of other nations sailing to the Aztecs. I have never seen so many ships in civ2 or before in civ3. And this is on Warlord! In the 5 turns it takes my transport to get there three cities are captured. The english have dropped off, easily 50+ units to invade, and constantly more and more transports flow in with troops. The Aztecs, though, are fighting back pretty well, considering they are against the world. My troops are there, and this "world war" is proving to be very fun. Right now, I'm seiging/blockading one of their cities and it should fall soon. I only wanted to share this, because nothing like this ever happened to me in civ2. Even if it happened to anybody else, I'm sure the AI wasn't close to being this coordinated. This game is a big step up
