So they added the word/letter "A". OK the first time I read it, I miss the letter, so I read it slower the second time and there it was. After this thread I would bet they find it.

UberKruX; good job. (Quality Control)

Actually the first time I read your post, I thought you might be complaining about the "Republic" being one of the Gov. type. (Some of the guys here don't like us) After seeing the above you are right. We can now have a revolution from Anarchy to Anarchy while waiting to become a Republic. Only in a game.

Tired of ads?

This just proves what I said in another thread that basically said that Firaxis cannot wait til the last minute to put in advice and change place holder art. There are to many variables and bugs that can slip through the cracks. Not sure that many people have noticed this one, I know I didn't in Civ II. But it certainly is something that if possible, game testers should find in Civ III.

Actually, this has happened to me quite a bit, while not neccessarily with the Republic advance, but when I am in a state of anarchy and I "aquire" a new tech that just happens to be a government... I always found it funny that I would click the option "No, Anarchy is working out fine" (after all, most anarchies are planned and have a set goal that is being accomplished)

Actually good job Joe on finding the grammar error. I didn't even notice that error when I read it the first time. I only noticed that you can't begin a revolution when you are already in one.

I don't neccesarily think so because I think he is trying to intend for Firaxis not to include this error in Civ3 or maybe for that matter for Civ3 to not include many errors by doing plenty of playtesting and fixing errors. If he's not at least he isn't totally off topic.

That's something I've always wanted to try- running an anarchist state. Every time a new government is formed, start another revolution.

How about an anarchist/libertarian government in Civ3? You don't control the units and the cities change your build queue at random

Maybe if you actually read all the posts you would understand. Since your too lazy to read them I'll give you quote of what Uberkrux is intending. "well, joseph, i also wanted to point out i could revolt from an anarchy... but whatever " by Uberkrux. Look next time before you open your big mouth.

Put an end to popups!

in case anyone wonders, the inaccurate grammar is caused by "Anarchy" being a string variable in the box. so it's not a spelling error...

In the actual text, not the options, there is a grammar error.

They didn't correct the grammar because all the actual government types begin with a consonant.

Not much of a bug, though. if you choose to stick with anarchy, you are in anarchy until oedo year. if you begin a revolution, you are in anarchy until oedo year.
Works out the same either way.

in the actual text, it says: Your current government is a Anarchy.

the word "Anarchy" in the text is a flexible variable. the code of the box may look something like this: "Your current government is a [print=GovType]."

This way they don't have to make a unique Governments box for every single government.

In actuality, it coul be in your favour or not. If you choose to revolt at a time when you haven't just discovered a gov't tech, doesn't the oedo year system go out the window?

I don't think so. if it's 1812 and the next oedo year is 1814, then you will be given a choice about which government to choose at the beginning of your 1814 turn. whether you choose to revolt from anarchy or not.

the only difference when using this particular prompt, is if you discover the gov tech on the oedo year. say - you discover republic in 1812 and 1812 is an oedo year - the tech is discovered in the housekeeping before your actual turn begins, and this message asking if you want to revolt appears during this phase also. you could then revolt, and the last thing before taking your turn is to choose your government.
In that case, the above "bug" still wouldn't make any difference. you could revolt from anarcy or not, and you would still be choosing you gov at the beginning of your turn. (Except I don't think that could happen, because Idon't think you can do research in anarchy. maybe I'm wrong.)

the oedo system is pretty much intact no matter what.

Why are you all reporting a civ2 bug on the civ3 forum? It really doesn't make any sense. We really don't have a clue what 'undocumented features' are going to be included with civ3. Let us hope it is nothing like CtP2 where it all too often chewed up saved games and the AI really did, quite literally, mind it's own business...

Not anymore. At least now that Modswapper, Med Pack II, Cradle of Civ and Apolyton Pack are out.

As it looks right now from comments:
Med Pack II - AI is stronger in defense, economically, scientifically and diplomatically.
Cradle - Warmonger frenzied AI, raging barbarians.
Apolyton - Mixture of the two.
