I would say gradually, considering that it took quite some time to get this 
far with Civ2 compatibility.  Besides, I am not sure how many people 
actually like the new Civ3 rules.  I do like Civ3, and I think there are a 
lot of good ideas that can be brought into Freeciv.  I am sure there will be 
a Civ3 compatibility mode eventually, the question is of course what you 
have just asked: when?   I'd say the sooner the better.  :-)  Now we just 
have find enough people to work on it.   It should keep them busy for a 
while.
