  • Having a hard time shifting from Civ2 to 3

    My sister has Civ3, so i tried it out. I had a hard time getting into it. Civ2 is more addictive.

      Try at a lower level first to get the hang of it. Civ 3 is an aquired taste for some people, especially those who played thousands of hours of the previous civ games.

            This is what I always think of when someone says "acquired taste".

            Buttermilk. Or beer.

            Sorry that GP isn't flippin over Civ3. Its a sub-cultural thing.

              That taste I have is a lot less pleasant than beer.

              Civ 3 is NOT the descendant of Civ 2. It is not only more flawed, with an irritating, dumb, and cheating AI, it is loaded with bizarre concepts such as Culture Flipping, Settler Diarrhea, Massive Corruption, etc. Plus it does not have vital elements such as scenario building, Multi Cheat, and others. It s also a step back historically. Civ 3 really should be called "Soren Johnson's Culture". I await a real Civ 3.

                I liked Civ2. I just wanted it updated with tougher AI and new graphics. That's it!!!!!!!!!

                    Ahh. Never tried it. Never really even had the opportunity to.

                          Next thing you know GP you'll be whinin about the combat resolution.

                          Seriously if I were you I'ld wait a bit until PTW comes out maybe then it will have enuff bells and whistles to entertain you.

                          I know thats what I'm doing. But first I'll wait a bit and see what the general feeling is of PTW.

                          By the by, it takes 6 G&T's to make you forget the wonder movies and by that time your spelling is much better as well.

                            I must be the only soul in the world who thinks civ 3 is far superior to civ 2! I just think having country borders is the way forward as opposed to just having a collection of random cities. But saying that, everyone is entitled to there own opinion.

                              I never cared for the wonder movies after the first or second time so I dont miss-em.
