I agree with SOC. If religion/philosophy is included in Civ 3, I would like to see it styled in the social engineering format of SMAC. There could be four (or more or less) catagories with choice to simulation a particular religion.
For example:
Archtype: (Polytheism, Monotheism, Pantheism,
Secularism)
Organization Structure: (Loose, Semi-Structured, Hierarchal, State Religion)
Focus: (Mystic, Theological, Social Justice, Fundimentalism, Nationalistic)
Relation with other religions/philosophies: ( Evangelistic, Closed, Tolerant, Militant)
Also I think Civ 3 should have the ability to easily
edit the names and adjustments in catagory. This way if someone does not agree if one selection or wants to add something not cover, he or she can do so. This would also be helpful in tailoring the religion/philosophy selection in scenario building.
