Just wanted to share that my first first-author paper is now online! In the journal Stem Cells and Development, here’s my paper on “Roles of Integrins in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Growth on Matrigel and Vitronectin.”
So there are a lot of Civ3’ers in our little circle. I was
wondering what changes people think should be made? I’m thinking
of making a scenario including a bunch of changes, but I bet I’m
missing something and would like y’all’s input.
One problem I find (with no ready solution off-hand) is that most late-game military conflicts are a foregone affair, with one side clearly superior. Meanwhile, early military conflicts take forever to resolve.
I guess my suggestion would be improve the movement of troops for a fast paced game– add something like 2 hexes to the per-turn movement value of all units, and things would really get hopping.
Paradoxdruid - August 27th, 2004 at 10:10 pmI’ve got a basic rule change setup. The changes don’t start (with one exception) until modern times.
Owen - August 27th, 2004 at 11:56 pmI have always thought that it would be nice if in the late game I didn’t need 10-30 works that just focused on doing pollution clean up. I am fine with a few doing but, it seems like even if I have built the mass transit system and the recycling center and not factory I still have to keep those works cleaning. Thats my pet-peeve
Gilvoro - August 28th, 2004 at 12:23 pmI was thinking today that I wish the diplomatic situations worked like Alpha Centauri (allies support each other a lot more and in more ways)
Owen - September 4th, 2004 at 5:51 pmI have no clue if you could actually change this or not . . . but I never find the workers to be very “smart.” I feel like I have to micromanage their every move and I get frustrated very early on. If there was way to give them better work orders, that would make me happy . . . barring that, I like the game quite a lot . . . damned, needy workers . . .

Just read a fascinating (if lengthy) essay on disruptive technology and the future of scientific publishing. Well worth the read!
Just wanted to share Mint.com’s Visual Guide to Deflation, which is quite explanatory.
Hey all Paradoxdruid readers! I recently started up a blog on stem cells that I’d love you all to take a look at: http://www.allthingsstemcell.com/
I participated in another Barely literate book review podcast, this time on Nicholson Baker’s “The Fermata”. Give it a listen!
Obama has outlined a strategy for America, in great depth. Read all about Change.gov!
Okay, I’ll admit that it’s entirely possible that I am the last person to learn about this website*, but it’s really addictive.Â
