Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Indians have the war elephant as their special unit. What is the key advantage to this unit?

Answer: It takes no strategic resources to produce

No strategic resources to produce makes the Indians a great choice to pick as your civilization.

The War Elephant is a unique unit associated with specific civilizations, usually those with historical ties to the use of war elephants in warfare.

In "Civilization III", the game developers introduced unique units for each civilization, adding historical flavor and strategic diversity to the gameplay.

The inclusion of unique units allows players to adopt different military strategies based on the strengths and characteristics of their civilization.
2. The Egyptians were ruled by Queen Cleopatra. What special unit is produced by the Egyptians?

Answer: war chariots

The war chariot has an extra attack point.

The war chariot is an ancient-era military unit that has increased mobility and strength compared to standard chariot units. It reflects the historical significance of chariots in ancient Egyptian warfare.

Each civilization in "Civilization III" has its unique units and attributes, and the War Chariot is one of the distinctive features of the Egyptian civilization.
3. One of the great wonders you can produce during the game is "Sun Tzu's Art Of War". How does this affect your civilization?

Answer: It put a barracks in every city on the same continent

Units trained in a city with Sun Tzu's Art of War receive a significant experience bonus. This means that military units produced in that city start with additional experience points, making them more effective in battles.

The wonder effectively acts as a Military Academy in the city where it is built. A Military Academy is a building that provides additional experience points to military units trained in the city. Sun Tzu's Art of War combines this benefit with the experience bonus.

Like all wonders in "Civilization III", building "Sun Tzu's Art of War" contributes to the cultural influence of the civilization. Cultural influence affects the territory borders of a civilization and can impact diplomatic relations with other civilizations.

The wonder is particularly beneficial for civilizations focusing on military expansion and warfare. The experience bonus can be crucial in giving your units an edge in battles, making them more resilient and effective against enemy forces.
4. What two technologies do you start out with as the Japanese?

Answer: the wheel and ceremonial burial

Ceremonial burial allows you to build temples and the wheel allows horses to appear on the map.

Each civilization in the game begins with specific technologies, reflecting the historical and cultural attributes of that civilization.

These starting technologies give the Japanese civilization a cultural and economic foundation at the beginning of the game. The choice of starting technologies can influence the early-game strategy and development path for each civilization, and players often adapt their strategies based on their unique starting advantages.
5. Chancellor Bismarck is rarely happy during the game. What are the attributes of his German civilization?

Answer: militaristic and scientific

The Germans start out with the technologies of warrior code and bronze working, making them able to produce a wide variety of units off the bat.

In the game, his personality trait is that he is "rarely happy". This trait is specific to the leader and influences the behavior of the AI-controlled Bismarck during the course of the game.
6. Montezuma and the Aztecs have the Jaguar Warrior as their special unit. What is the advantage of this unit over a regular warrior?

Answer: It has double the movement

The Jaguar Warrior typically has higher attack strength compared to the standard Warrior unit. This makes it more effective in combat situations, allowing it to deal more damage to enemy units.

The Jaguar Warrior often has increased movement points, which means it can move farther on the map in a single turn. This increased mobility provides tactical advantages, allowing the unit to respond quickly to threats or explore more efficiently.

In some versions of "Civilization III", the Jaguar Warrior comes with a free promotion. Promotions enhance the unit's abilities, such as increasing its strength or providing defensive bonuses. This makes the Jaguar Warrior more formidable in battles.

The Aztec civilization, led by Montezuma, has a cultural victory bonus. Cultural victories in the game are achieved by accumulating a certain amount of cultural points. The Jaguar Warrior, as a unique unit, contributes to the Aztecs' overall strategy for achieving cultural dominance.
7. What resources are required to produce a cavalry unit?

Answer: saltpeter and horses

There are twenty-one types of units available to all nations within the game, plus other specialized units.

Here is a description of the standard units.

Warrior: Basic melee unit used for exploration and early defense.

Archer: Ranged unit that attacks from a distance.

Phalanx: Defensive unit effective against mounted units.

Swordsman: Upgraded melee unit with increased strength.

Catapult: Siege unit used to attack cities.

Chariot: Fast-moving unit effective for exploration and hit-and-run tactics.

Settler: Used to found new cities.

Worker: Improves tiles, constructs buildings, and develops resources.

Horseman: Fast-moving mounted unit effective for exploration and warfare.

Knight: Upgraded mounted unit with increased strength.

Crossbowman: Upgraded ranged unit with increased firepower.

Pikeman: Upgraded defensive unit effective against mounted units.

Caravel: Naval exploration unit.

Frigate: Naval unit with offensive capabilities.

Privateer: Naval unit used for capturing enemy ships.

Cannon: Siege unit effective against cities.

Rifleman: Upgraded infantry unit with increased strength.

Artillery: Powerful siege unit effective against cities.

Tank: Modern armored unit with high mobility.

Infantry: Highly defensive modern unit.

Mechanized Infantry: Advanced infantry unit with increased strength.
8. Hiawatha is the leader of the Iroquois. What unit will you not see in the Iroquois civilization?

Answer: horsemen

The Iroquois produce mounted warriors instead of horsemen.

Hiawatha leads the Iroquois civilization. Chief Hiawatha was a historical figure and a prominent leader of the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee.

The Iroquois have a unique unit called the Mohawk Warrior. This unit has increased strength compared to the standard Warrior unit. The Mohawk Warrior is particularly effective in the early stages of the game for exploration and defense.
9. The Great Library gives you a technology that any two known civilizations have discovered. What technology negates this effect?

Answer: Code of Laws

The Great Library is a wonder that grants its builder a free technology that any two other known civilizations have discovered. The technology that negates or counters the effect of the Great Library is "Code of Laws".

When a civilization researches the "Code of Laws" technology, it allows that civilization to build the Oracle wonder. The Oracle provides the same benefit as the Great Library, granting a free technology. However, the key difference is that the Oracle allows the civilization to choose any technology that has not been discovered by any other civilization.

So, while the Great Library grants a free technology based on what two other civilizations have discovered, the Oracle provides more flexibility by allowing the player to choose any technology that is still undiscovered by other civilizations.
10. Chairman Mao and the Chinese have the rider to replace the knight. What is the advantage of the rider?

Answer: One extra movement point and one extra defense point

The Rider has increased movement points compared to the standard Knight. This allows the Rider to cover more distance on the map in a single turn, providing strategic mobility on the battlefield.

The Rider has higher attack strength than the Knight. This makes the Rider more effective in combat situations, allowing it to deal more damage to enemy units.

In some versions of "Civilization III", the Rider may also have improved defensive capabilities, making it more resilient in battles and skirmishes.
