We know they buy large quantities of oil from outside. Not for building units as in civ3, it's actually a luxury in RL. It's not like civ3 where you have 1 oil source and then your okay, but they need more and more. What would happen if all that oil didn't get to the USA? many angry people I guess. What would you do if that was implemented in civ3? An oilwar perhaps?

My original point was intended to be humourous but the context was changed by the subsequent comment. My response to monolith remains true however. In terms of geopolitics, lots of wars have been fought over the control of luxuries but I cant think of any major wars fought over strategic resources. Only GW1 comes close and even that was outside of the CIV3 game usage of 'stategic resources'.

Civ 2 taught me that people (and camels!?

) turn grey when they sleep...

Ok, I stole it from an old thread. But everything in the world has been thought of or said before. The thing is to think of it again...

Civ3 taught me, that a couple of tank divisions can not prevent a metropolis from defecting to my enemy and just vanish, when it does, while a single warrior with a stone ax is able to burn it to the ground.
