For example lots of descent information on every country in the world: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/indexgeo.html and here info on Austria http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/au.html There it says Austria has Military manpower - fit for military service: males age 15-49: 1,733,681 (2000 est.) And the total pop of Austria is: 8,131,111 (July 2000 est.) I dont know if that is of any use for CIV3. Maybe who knows. Ata |

Btw I noted the US has about Military manpower - fit for military service: males age 15-49: 2,056,762 (2000 est.)not that much more. Though there are about 70,000,000 available |

The book is useful - I use it to help me make scenarios. However, even though it is an 2000 version some of the information in it is far from up to date.BTW: I noticed the manpower figure too. IMO this is an error - Americans are not that unfit. |

Maybe that has something to do with Conscription and Standing Army.Maybe this could be implemented in Civ3 as well. You got to chose between these two modes. Conscription however takes 5-10 turns to become effective. Conscription: Newly produced units start out with better experience, though no experience is earned when they stay in barracks... A little less support costs. Less moral. Standing army: Newly produced units start out with less experience though they get experience when they stay in barracks. More support costs. More moral. Ata |
