	Time for new polls... Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

...especially since the current one is moot. There won't be a workshop in civ3. I've 2 other suggestions, based on current threads:

1) Throne room or Palace?

2) Futuristic tech or no?

The 2nd can be broken down further:

• future tech ala civ2
  
• future tech with small bonuses (+1%/tech to important game areas, reduced costs, &/or some hidden items in FT line)
  
• future tech with futuristic names, new units, wonders, etc.
  
• NO future tech at all. Diversify existing tech tree!

Very well and aptly said, Ralf.

Another good idea for a poll would be the "Most urgent question for Firaxis" Poll. For details of questions see my thread of the same name.

	Suffering from ads?

Thanks for the support, Roman.

About the poll-suggestion: There are 3 "Yes to future techs", but only 1 "NO future-techs". Unconsciously one tends to look at the 3 Yes-alternatives as the norm, comparing with the single NO alternative. To make things worse they are placed before the NO-alternative.

For best result, there should really only be 3 alternatives: YES, NO or NO DIFFERENCE A small thing perhaps, but these things counts more then most people like to admit.

I'm really curious when the next poll starts and what it will be about...

I started a poll about expanding city radius.
Of course, this is not an official one .

The futuristic tech poll could be a good one, too. Anyway, I agree that the workshop poll is a bit obsolate. Mark, you promised a new poll on monday. Well?

I'm all for a poll on the type of ego screen, but I would have thought it was more important that it be customisable (and therefore different from game to game) than just asking if we want an interior or exterior picture.

Why a poll about palace/throne room? There are so many more interesting issues.

Actually, it depends on the gaming goal. If winning bye reaching AC is possible in civ3 I think it's absolutely silly to be able to do that without some futuristic techs.
If the game will go on until 2050 it will certianly feel stupid not being able keep develop the last fifty years. It all depends on the game itself. Before i vote for anything i'd like to know a few things like:

- Is winning going to be achieved by sending colonist to AC?
- How far in the future will the game go on? 2000? 2020? 2100?
- Is the civ crew going to make some educated guesses about what futuristic tech will be in or will they just grab things out of the air?
- Future techs means also future improvements right?

I think firaxis should answer these questions before they ask about our opinions in how much future tech we want.
