BLITZEN'S PROFILE

I am always looking for new middleware to toy with, and anything that might let me do RTS style stuff is worth at least an hour of messing around. I'm interested in seeing what this tool can do and how WYSIWYG it is.

If only this worked so well in real life. Too soon?

Well, if you take over a city witha huge population (16+), chances are it will take at least half a dozen turns to get the populace on your side if you are the agressor in the war. It helps if you actually REBUILD the infastructure and MEND RELIGIOUS TENSIONS by building temples and stuff that get destroyed during the siege/invasion. Telling the people that its thier fault rather than their wellbeing that you're sicking around isn't going to make them think you're a liberator.

I watched the movie Dick with Kirsten Dunst and Dave Foley and Will Ferrel and a bunch of other people from, SNL and Kids in the Hall. Its about Richard Nixon and the Watergate Scandal, where it takes the idea that Deepthroat was two girls who lived in the hotel (one of them falls in love with Nixon btw eww). Its really funny, and there are some cool cameos.

Adding religions and flavouring them isn't hard to do in a mod for Civ 3, but what is hard is balancing that new aspect with the Civ3 vanilla game play. What you do is set up a bunch of small wonders for each religion, and then when you build that small wonder (and have the applies to all cities thing checked) then each of your cities adopts that religion. Its kind of Westphalean in that sense, where you can then hinge governments, improvements, techs, or units on that state religion (ie you will never build Crusades, Sistene Chapel, or discover Chivalry without Catholicism, but you could add other wonders of the same effect for the other religions. (Ie for Islam replace Crusade with Holy War and have it build dervishes instead of crusaders or something).

I just like the gameplay balance of Civ 3 more or less the way it is. I wish there were a couple aspects of the game that were more emphasized though, like espionage, which is why I went and put spies into my regular game (only spies can see other spies and can do precision bombings :) ) so once you discover espionage you had better set up your intelligence agency otherwise the other civs could be crawling around your territory and you don't even know it!

But yeah I hear its not as easy to mod stuff for Civ4, being 3D and all that jazz.
