Either way, Firaxis has announced great moddability, so even those who don't get exactly what they want in the vanilla game will be able to change things that they want, or play pre-made mods by others

Yeah, but they said that for Civ3 as well.

Mike isn't working on Civ 4.

Yeah, Civ 4 will supposedly have Python as a scripting language.

[snoopy369]

Well, this time, mr. wombat, they're using ...

gasp ...

A scriptable language (Apparently Breitkreutz got fired? (just kidding))

Python, actually, to write almost everything. Which means you can mod a lot. Not everything, but a heck of a lot more than Civ3.

I would if they let you script in Python

It was announced there is going to be Python scripting back in February.

I've heard that Osama Bin Laden bought the rights to the Civilization name. He intends to create a new Civ meant to be played only at the "Osama" difficulty level, where the Taleban civ starts with 300 suicide mujaheddins and wreaks havoc on the other Western civs. The game will be called "Civilization: I Don't Think So".

Problem with PW tax is it lays too much importance on production, in CtP1/2.

Make PW tax 3 seperate changeable taxes under food, production and commerce/trade to a total of 100% at any one time and itll be better balanced.

PtW sucks big time!
You can automate workers in any way you want in cIIIv, but clicking on every tile to tell it what kinds of public works should be made on it really really really sucks.

Not to mention the fact that those cute workers who're busy working on your terrain gives a very very nice view.
Nothing is better then seeing people working hard for ya 8)
