IIRC a Phalanx is a division of Hoplites.

Actually, Spearmen is the unit that has replaced Phalanx. Stats are the same at 1/2/1. Hoplites are the Greek UU. They are an upgraded Spearmen, at 1/3/1.

YOu can put your workers to work any bonus tile in that radius The Cultural border is the one that expands. The cultural border is only useful to harvest luxeries and strategic resources, and to show the limit of your empire.

I agree with you completely, except for one point. I think that when you first found a city and it's cultural border is 1, you can only work the 8 squares around the city. As soon as the cultural border expands to 2 and beyond, you can work the regular 20 square radius.

Oh God, I dont like that. Owerpowerful railroads, that let you slide around units/armies from one end of an enormous continent, to another within the same turn - still without loosing combat-ability, I guess. I sure hope thats editor tweakable - one way or the other. If not; thats a 100% given editor-update, already there.

Well, I don't know how big either of them are in English, so I'll sum it up as: "It is a group of Hoplites" (where group can be any size)
And yes, I believe regiment is bigger then division, so you are most likely right. It is my language that isn't good enough without dictionaries to find the exact words for everything, so I sometimes go with near words.

I believe it isn't tweakable yet, but I sure hope that they will add it (without adding sandtraps in the same turn. )

	Suffering from ads?

I like the idea of Railroads having unlimted movement in Civ 3. I agree that the were too powerfull in civ 2. Although now you don't get to use the railroad unless it is in you territory. So that makes it alot less powerful.

i havn't heard anything about that, but you may be right. It makes sense and its another way to combat ICS.

Yes, the only thing the Nuclear Sub can carry is one Tactical Nuke. Carriers can carry up to 4 air units. The other naval units all carry ground units. Note that the Helicopter can carry 2 ground units now--they're transport helicopters instead of gunships.

	Civ Specifics? Remove this text

Can you tell us what the various civ-specific abilities mean?
Does it tell you how much more likely good goodie huts are for expansionist civs? How much faster industrious workers work? What is the corruption rating, and how do commercial civs effect it? What is the bonus commerce for a commercial civ (twice home tile commerce) and the bonus for industial (1 shield)? Is the chance of promotion 1 in 16, but 1 in 12 for militaristic civs?
How long does it take to build a mine? 4 turns? 3 with industrious or democratic, 2 with industrious and democratic, or with replacable parts, 1 with all 3?

here's some quotes from sid interview
Prima: was there any concept that you tried to work into civ III that just didnt work?
Sid: We had an idea for great people (artists, scientest, politicans) in addition to great leaders. There was a system for defection to other countries, kidnapping, and so on. We just couldn't get this to work in a satisfactory way, so we didn't include it

Prima: one final question, Civ IV. Have you thought whether you'd like to do Civ IV, and if so, what it might be like?
sid: THat's a good question, if the fans still want more after Civ III we will talk about giving them more.

Could someone actually tell me what the Iron Works actually do? I know you need iron to produce certain units, but I wouldn't think that Iron Works are necessary to make iron available. Does it give you some kind of production bonus?
