Bureaucracy: how does it appear?
I was just wandering, that will there be somekind of restrainer on number of cities (or something of the sort) in Civ3? At first comes to mind, that in SMAC the bureaucracy-factor was quite well and reasonably handled. Will there be a similar factor, or has Firaxis developed something more realistic/surreal/whatever?

i think culture has something to do with it, you can have as many cities as you want, but if you concentrate on expanding, your culture won't grow, so your cities can be overcultured by other civ's

Of ocurse there will be! Even in Civ1 there was the concept of corruption: the farther away your city, the less sophisticated your government, the more wasted trade arrows.

In Civ2 this was even more expanded, introducing extreme unhappiness as one built too many cities (or was that introduced in SMAC...hmmm).

I'm 100% sure there will be painful restrictions on the number of cities one can build.

Yes. I was afraid to buy it, at that time I was studying hard. If I had bought the game, I'd propably had never finished my studies. Those were hard times for me. And after I graduated, came SMAC, and Civ2 was nowhere to be found
So that is why I sometimes may look like an ignorant fool. And that's just what I am

Rixxe -
Didn't you know, that some people are actually trying to take seriously their studies?
