Brian Renolds also replied in the borders question raised by Hofblad.The thread is in the previous location for Civ 3 ideas,not in "The List of Ideas for Firaxis" where we currently are.
My guess is Civ3 will have borders, but their extent and effect will vary with your government type and technological progress. Clearly a Bronze Age city state would resolve borders in a different way from a modern nation state, and you'll see an evolution from one to the other in the game.
In SMAC we found that borders not only made the game more fun, they made the AI smarter.
As with Alpha Centauri, you'll probably be able to reduce the effect of borders by editing the rules file, if for some reason (?!?!) you don't like them.

By the way, Brian has been on vacation, so I haven't been able to get any feedback from him on the list. However, he IS expecting to read this list by the end of this month (June), so hopefully he'll be back in 'answering e-mail' mode by then.
My hope, of course, is that he can set at least some parameters for us. But Firaxis will most likely keep things wide open until at least the alpha phase, at which point hopefully we can start zeroing in on details with enough time to make crucial changes.
I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

Yet another cheap means of a junior civver attempting to gain civver status...
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
Actually that was yet another attempt to raise everybody's self-esteem by -=HEAVE=-ing this month-old complement to the top.
Us thread masters are very sensitive, you know
