	Something I miss about Civ I Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

One thing I like about Civ3 is the nostalgia for the original game. No, I don't mean the lack of scenarios or multi-player. I mean the touches like building the palace, the historical replay at the end, and so on. Stuff that they replaced or deleted in Civ2.

The part of Civ I that I don't see here is wars and diplomacy between AI controlled tribes. In Civ I they were always fighting each other, and you. I remember one game when, as the Romans, I was being hammered unmercifully by a huge Greek empire. Unexpectedly, the Mongols captured their capital, and the Greek empire split, saving my butt.

I always felt as if I was just one part of the unfolding history, rather than the only tribe with a full range of options. Or that if I was eliminated, the AI civs could go on just fine without me, making treaties and breaking them and fighting and conquering each other.

I never saw anything like that that happen in Civ2, though there was limited fighting between AI civs in the early part of the game. Has anyone seen any wars between AI tribes in Civ3? I've yet to finish my current game, but so far the AI's just seems to fill up the available land with cities and stop. Has anyone seen the conquest of one AI tribe by another?

Yeah, I've seen ai start wars and eliminate other ais. I do miss the part about "the american city of boston is reloting, they are calling themselves the babylonians." I don't think that can happen in civ3.

I've seen many (ok, played that many times yet ) times when the AI beats another AI, and takes the last city.

Kinda off topic this, but what I miss most of all from civ1 is the cityview, I mean, in civ1 the cities had many buildings, the cities in civ3 are almost empty

I still think the Civ1 leader animations and palace view were the best of the series.

But I can see a lot of "Back to Civ1" in Civ3, and that's mostly good.

no no no! stop it! you're all making me want to play civ1 again!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously though, I noticed this "back to civ1" movement too when I first played. and I was overjoyed when I saw the replay feature was back!

and I'm glad they still kept a lot of the music from civ1 and civ2, too bad they didn't keep it all. might be nice to hear the Chinese's music while playing chinese, greeks' music while playing greece, etc...

yeah, the city view in civ3 is alike the one in civ2.
I still wonder how all those people can live in those few houses.

Civ1 city view showed much houses if much people lived in a city.
I thought that was something that sucked in civ2 but it doesn't seem like civ3 is doing a better job (the rest of the city view looks fab btw)

I've seen much wars between AI.
Some cities in my current game switch all the time
Pherhaps you played civ1 using the shift-123456 code (I often did )
If you do that there's no fog, and thus you can see all wars live while in civ3 everything happens behind the fog.
