i haven't bought civ3 yet (going to buy it soon though). I visit the forums often and I'm confused by some of the new terrain (such as flood plains), improvements, and units. I know that some of you have too much time on your hands so I was hoping that someone could give a list of terrain, improvments, and units and a brief stat and function description. I don't care about spoilers! Spoil away! Please alleviate my hunger.

The civilopedia is only in-game The manual kind of sucks and doesn't have that much technical details (but it does have good terrain and unit info though). It's probably illegal to paste the actual manual so I'll copy&paste a portion of it (hope Firaxis doesn't mind )...
