- culture points per building
- units won't depend on a city anymore
- nations characteristics (militarist, scientific, expansionist,
  commercial, religious, industrious)
- special units for each nation (panzer, F-15, etc)
- nationality of each citizen in the city
- advisor screens
- caravans/freights disappear
- wonders and spaceship parts can't be hurried
- wonders and spaceship parts can't be built in two cities at the same
  time
- economy mobilized for war
- new behaviour of fighters and bombers
- city razing (when you conquer it and don't want it)
- coast/sea/ocean differentiation
- resource visibility depending on known technologies
- resources may be exhausted
- engineers can't modify terrain anymore (I DO NOT like that - I agree
  that it's an annoying omission - maybe should be selectable in a 
  civserver variable)
- new terrains and their effects (jungle->disease, etc.)

I can't remember any more now. I haven't played Civ3 nearly enough. :-)
