the replay feature . . (firaxis' attention here would be nice. . :)
Exactly how complex is it going to be? With challenge games (ie, One City Challenge) people often post their games turn by turn (or at least, the important turns) and then everyone can analyze the game to see strategy, etc. .

And i highly agree, and would add that there should be, either incorporated into Civ3 or as a small seperate program, the ability to view old games this way. Having it to be a seperate savable file that you can upload or send to friends would also be very nice. I can view a way to add comments to specific turns or to the file to perhaps explain why you made certain choices in the game or to add things that perhaps may not be automatically recorded, etc. . (though, i'd suggest having the game record in some way, every single statistic that's in the game, if possible.) In OCC game logs, people often comment about exactly how many beakers a certain city makes, or other various very specific bits of information. .
anyway, you get the idea so i'll stop rambling. .

How much of this can we expect in Civ3?

I like the idea of being able to upload the file. That way people would have to prove that they had "x" score or whatever.

I also agree. When you talk about "adding comments", I come to think of Europa Universalis-style after-action reports. That would be fun to read.
