CIV3 SITE UPDATE: NO PUBLIC WORKS! (6 April 2001, 16:55 EST)
- No public works system. Classic settler now removes two populations units in an effort to kill ICS. A new worker unit does all the teraforming stuff. - More advanced border system. Free-passage agreements, Automatic withdrawn of forces upon demand. - "Go to" command is back, improved path routines - Advisors are here too, the guy on the right is the science advisor! Thanks to Sein3 for the update -MarkG
 (4 April 2001, 16:17 EST) The recent preview of CivIII in Computer Games Magazine [see story below] has led to some questions regarding the civilization leader pictures and who they are. While members of Firaxis' CivIII team are neither confirming or denying suggestions put forth, they have addressed a concern by Trachmir, one of Apolyton's forum users. I'm quite worried about these leaders, he laments. It seems very unlikely that they are going to include a lot of civilizations if each one needs this diplo-animation. I also wonder about MODs to add new civs, and how difficult and/or incomplete it will be. Dan Magaha, Firaxis webmaster, responds. Our goal has always been quality and not quantity. We're putting a lot of effort into the default set of civilizations and units, but we fully expect that players will be able to create whatever civs, units, scenarios, or whatever else they wanted that we just don't have time to create. Just as we're going to have provisions for scenario makers who want to create custom units without the complexity of articulated, animated units, there should be some sort of provision for custom civilizations. -DanQ
