I vote for Canada in the XP

rpodos · April 10, 2002, 19:52

Leader: I think the Trudeau head is already over in the Files forum.

Group:
Both American and European, so when culturally linked, they have to deal with America, Iroqouis, France, and England, who are friendly, as well as Aztecs, Germany, and Russia, who are nasty.

Characteristics:
Commercial (to pay for beer)
Industrious (but only before the beer)

Free techs:
Pottery (for beer)
Masonry (for hockey rinks)

Governor builds:
Often - Wheat and hops. No, I mean cars. Oops, I mean hockey rinks and bars... and the Windsor Ballet (ie, happiness buildings).
Never - Naval units.

Aggression:
-10

Preferred government:
Haven't decided yet; they'll let us know soon.

Shunned government:
Anything that prohibits beer.

Unique unit (credit to Dominae):
The Mounty. Cavalry replacement. 5-4-4, and treats hills / mountains as roads. Never dies, but turns into a Worker. Wacky Canadians.

Vive Quebec Libre - Charles DeGaul while in Quebec.

Such a great friend.

Any government that imports American beer.

You need to add hops and barley as a resource.

There can never be such a thing as too much beer.

Depends on the type of beer, one bottle of Busch is one too many

You also need the saltpeter to cure it.

Canada isn't a real country and has no place in Civilization III.

Roy H Smith · April 11, 2002, 06:12

Yeah, Canada is just "England lite". Except for Quebec...they're "French "lite". :-)

I'm just teasing :-)

At least Canada has one thing America doesn't - good neighbors!

:-)

I think Canada should have more bananas. Instead of all that beer.

Deornwulf · April 11, 2002, 12:55

Canada can be added to the game as long as everything could be blamed on them. Messages could read

.....Disease has struck the city of "insert name." Our wise men think it's because of the jungle be we all know it's Canada's fault."

or

"Because of Canada, the Germans have declared war on us."

Note to self: Never, EVER sign an MPP with Canada in XP.

dr.charm · April 11, 2002, 14:40

No, you sure wouldn't want to sign an MPP with Canada! I mean look at all the times they've failed their allies! In the First World War.. oh, wait... In the Second World War... oh, uh, right they were there three years before the US... The Korean War... darn, nope they were in the front lines there too... Vietnam War, all the draft dodgers went to Canada, oh and except that Canada sent more than that number of troops to Vietnam... But the Cold War, what did they do there besides forming NORAD with us... and wait, what was he talking about again? I don't remember but it was obviously coming out of somewhere other than his mouth.

Cheers,

We sent troops to Viet Nam? I don't think so...

dr.charm · April 11, 2002, 14:57

30,000 Canadians fought in Vietnam

Cheers,

Dr. Charm

KrazyHorse · April 11, 2002, 14:59

I'm pretty sure that figure's off by ~30 000. Maybe you're thinking of Australia?

KrazyHorse · April 11, 2002, 15:01

Ah. Are you referring to Canadian nationals who joined the US military?

Thrawn05 · April 11, 2002, 15:07

Actually, what happened is that during Vietnam, Canada was in a political war with Greenland (Democratic North, and Socialist South Greenland). Most of the Canadian draft dogers went to the US and got drafted into Vietnam. Likewise, most of the US draft dogers went to Canada, only to freeze to death in Greenland.

Consider it a military exchange.

dr.charm · April 11, 2002, 15:09

Yeah, in the same way the Americans fought in the Battle of Britain (only about 1000 times as many).

Cheers,

Dr. Charm
