Well, if it's about culture, I have issues, but your poll is really a bug list for the game...I cannot in good conscience simply check them all, although I have problems with all of them (as far as I can tell)...

The biggee is corruption. It isn't so much that corruption is too high, as it is that too little can be done about it. My main issue related to culture is the player can't tell how close his or another civ's cities are to jumping and can't be sure what measures will offset this. Some of the choices in the poll are actually strategic choices for the player, in there, more or less, on purpose. If you want sealed borders and no interloping cities, fight for it. Not worth a war? That's a choice on your part, not a bug.

I'd like to add in pollution, too - I've been trying to work out for a week how it calculates global warming (as opposed to "wreck-a-square" pollution) and I just can't do it.

This poll is disturbing, because Civ3 has so much negative criticism, although, it is rightfully so.

Civ 3 is an excellent game. It was rushed, however, and thus is not perfect. There are some areas that could be changed to improve Civ 3, but hopefully these will be covered in the patch.

You are so anti-america that having a conversation with you would be poinless. You may or maynot feel you are an enemy of the United States, I don't care either way. However if I still worked for the Goverment I would turn over your e-mail address to my bosses and what ever happen, happens.

I voted for planes not being able to destroy ships. I think the programmers should be forced to watch the crappy movie pearl harbor continously for the next 30 days.

Very odd. I saw this post and thought 'right, we'll select all of them'. But at every one I considered and thought 'Not really' or 'I've learned work around it or live with it'. In the end I selected none of them.

Yup, I'd say the biggest problem in Civ III is that corruption can not be tackled effectively. I built a courthouse in a city and it didn't even dent the corruption. But maybe the patch will fix this. This forum has given enough ideas for that.
