Civ3 isn't such a bad game, problem is when you compare it to it's predecessors it is a disappointment.

You appear to be spaming yourself. Stop that. This forum is for people who enjoy the game. Don't you have anything to do. Get a life. You can't put sucks in your thread title, this is a family site.
Look at your big boat. I can sink it with the next patch.
Play on a smaller map.
The nerve of some people.
There are no clouds in Civ3.
We do have fog (of war) in which you seem immersed.

ATTENTION APOLYTON VISITORS, THIS AREA HAS BEEN DECLARED A TROLL
WILDLIFE REFUGE. TO LEARN ABOUT THE TROLL, ITS HABITAT, AND
ITS WAY OF LIFE, PLEASE READ THE SIGN-POST BELOW. IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TROLL, YOU CAN PICK UP BOOKS AND
SOUVENIRS IN THE GIFT SHOP AT THE END OF THE TOUR. THANK YOU
IN ADVANCE FOR OBSERVING ALL TROLL WILDLIFE REFUGE RULES, HAVE
A NICE DAY.
|
Common name: Woodland Troll
Scientific name: Trollus Apolytonicus
|
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The common woodland troll (Trollus Apolytonicus) is an
approximately 1.7m long nocturnal furry creature that
has been found to exist in nearly every climate and
latitude. Predominant features include: a very pale
complexion, a large bony ridge above the eyes, a dense
cranium, dragging knuckles, and a pungent odor.
|
HABITAT:
Most trolls spend the daylight hours under a large rock
sleeping. Unfortunately, the natural habitat of the
troll has been encroached by development (as is all too
often the case). The modern troll has to make due with
a slimy, moss covered rock. Often, trolls are forced
to endure poor sanitation and filthy living conditions.
Combined with the general lack of hygiene among trolls,
this results in a very unpleasant odor.
|
ACTIVITIES AND DIET:
During their active period at night, the common troll
engages in numerous activities, though the most
important of these is foraging for food. The one
characteristic that ties all different troll species
and sub-species together is their diet. Trolls
invariably survive off of a combination of cheetohs,
arguments, and annoying others. A typical troll
requires approximately 10 arguments and flames per day
just to stay alive. With the increasing use of
ignore lists, it has
become more and more difficult for trolls to eke out a
basic sustenance.
|
KNOWN PREDATORS:
Unfortunately, trolls have many predators. Most common
among them are the helpful researcher, the informative
poster, the cool headed responder, and the ignore-lister.
The cool header responder is technically not a troll
predator however. Trolls are typically unfazed by
logical counter arguments and cool headed reason.
However, even though their posts do not deliver the
same level of sustenance that a "flamer" or an "annoyed
poster" may provide, they still provide a valuable
source of dietary fiber for the troll.
The most dangerous predators for the trolls are the
helpful researcher, the informative poster, and the
ignore-lister. The common troll is highly allergic to
fact, real data, and research. Upon skin contact with
actual hard evidence and real data, the troll will
experience intense itching and burning at the site of
contact, followed by lesions and blisters. Eventually,
this results in loss of skin near the area of contact,
and usually to loss of a limb (in the example of
contact near the arm or leg). Contact with facts and
data near the facial area usually results in a slow
painful death. Contact with extremely high doses of
fact and hard data can cause temporary loss of
consciousness and even permanent brain damage for the
troll.
The ignore list poses a much more insidious threat to
the troll. Not posing a direct threat to the troll per
se, the ignore list simply deprives the troll of yet
another source of nourishment. Some trolls have
developed counter measures to thwart the ignore list,
usually this takes the form of a type of camoflage.
The trolls' predators have reaped a terrible slaughter
over the years, resulting in the death of great hordes
of trolls. Trolls continue to breed rapidly though and
their population is stable. However, it is unknown how
long this situation can persists. Eventually, natural
predators and poachers may result in lower numbers of
trolls. Already we are seeing lower diversity among
the different troll species. That is why this troll
habitat refuge exists, to ensure the preservation of
the troll for not only our future, but the future of
our children.
|
This troll habitat refuge has been paid for in part by
the Anti Troll-Defamation League, the International
Society for the Advancement of Trolls, and the Troll
Habitat Preservation Alliance.
