	Multiplayer Culture (?) Tired of ads?

I was just reading the civ3.com FAQ ...

...How does culture affect diplomacy with other civs?
Other civs will treat you differently depending on your culture. Civilizations that are "in awe" of your culture, for example, would be more inclined to accept a deal than a civ whose culture is on par with yours. Having a culture advantage essentially allows you to tip the scales in favor of yourself during diplomatic sessions...


Are there any informations how this will work in multiplayer ? Will my human opponent(s) be able to accept/decline deals or declare peace/war regardless of my culture value ? Or will there be restrictions for human players also. (and not just for democrats)

Overall, I have not read much information about Civ3 Multiplayer until now ...

Firaxis has barley released any info on MP.

On to your other topic, I would think that culture will not effect the human player in MP. It will most likely remain the same way as it did in Civ2. I.E. even though you had UN in Civ2 the human player wasn't inclined to sign a peace treaty. It's rather difficult to put any effects on the human to human diplomatic interaction.

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

The impact of culture could be indirect, culture or the lack of it could influence the senate to reject certain diplomatic acts as in civ2. Of course, this would only apply if you are a democracy or republic.
