Yeah, I mean suppose you do really good as the dinosaurs. Will Civ3 then be about dinosaur civilisation?

I personally think if a Dino pack survives, (you win the game) then Civ3, never happens. If the dinos die, then it allows the mammals to start forming civs.
It's probably not the way they'll have it setup, but I think it's more logical.

I agree that this develpoement is pretty odd.
Since I first read the "Something is evolving at Firaxis" note i had hoped that the game would be about evolution, so you would start out as some microbe and if you won you'd get an advanced civilization that dominated the earth. I never thougth the game would be restricted to dinosaurs.
Well, guess you can't get it all.
That dinogame is probably gonna be good anyway!

My Hopes were along the same lines as The Joker.
Did anyway play that Civ-life scenario BTW.
It really helped me with my Biology. Tee Hee, so Civ *is* educational.

Maybe if you win with the dinosaurs, you get your evolved butts off the planet to let the runty mammals have a shot?

Maybe the aliens in Smax are evolved dinos.
Or maybe evolved winos.

I find the dino-Progenitor connection really intriguing. I think it could be the missing link...
I have another possibility: if the asteroid missed, then maybe dinosaurs coexisted with the human ancestors. Each major group of animal is the equivalent of a "civ". All the dinosaurs are one "civ", all the flying creatures are a "civ", all the sea creatures are another "civ", and the pre-humans would be another "civ". You could play any "civ", but as a prequel to civ3, the player would control the pre-human "civ", with two possible victory conditions: conquest, where you must hunt the dinosaurs to extinction to become the dominant species, or an evolution victory where you must evolve into modern Man. Either way, it really fits nicely with the beginning od civ3. Humans are the dominant species, no dinosaurs, everything is set to start building a civilization.
What do say?

I like the idea of having the game start with the asteroid 65 million years ago. This way the earth will be more or less empty, as 80 % of all life has been eliminated. It would be a new start, with no strong species. You would then pick a species (a dinospecies, some rat, birds etc) and head for intelligence. You would lead evolution, guiding whether to be a carnivor or a planteater, but you couldn't just expand like crazy, as that would destroy all food and so destroy yourself. So making yourself into a viscious carnivor wouldn't neccesarily be good as you would kill all prey.

this isn't as exciting, but the contenents will most likely move in SMD and help create the map to play on in CivIII?

), but this time you have skipped the evolution part.
