I think he meant to say,
"What is doing FIRAXIS in now in Hell?"
I think the answer is obvious
On-Topic, I think they're making a "final" PTW patch, and there were some hints dropped about MOM2(?)

If the "final" PTW patch doesn't allow us to set diplomatic relations in the editor, I will give them a "final" swift kick in the ass.

Not a good bet to bet that PTW is the end of the Civ3 road, Boris.
Nothing confirmed, nothing denied, because I have no facts, just... intuitions. However, I would be surprised if they left the title without at least one more expansion.

Will "fun" be a feature of this new expansion? Because that would just be peachy keen.

Hey, I found Civ3 fun. I'll never forget the amazing world war...
NYE, I will be pissed if I have to pay $$ for yet another expansion pack that completes a scenario editor that should have been complete before the first expansion pack.

Just doesn't have that one-more-turn feeling for me, not the way SMAC does, or Civ2 did. Just feels like a step backward in strategic depth, not to mention the je ne sais quois that gave SMAC such atmosphere and flavor.
Other than graphics, golden ages, and resources, I can't think of a single solitary thing that is an improvement from SMAC to Civ3.

SMAC II, please.

Now there's an idea. The objective would be to be the first faction to achieve faster-than-light space travel, and send a battle fleet back to conquer the mother planet, Earth.Originally posted by georges bonbon

After what Firaxis did to Civ3, I don't want them coming near a sequel to SMAC.
Those hacks could suck the fun out of fellatio.

I for one would welcome a sequel to SMAC!SMAC 2 sounds like a good idea, IMHO.

SMAC 2 is the sweetest of all ideas.
But I think they are working on a new RTS game called "Nations of Rise", to put some pressure over the competition...![]()

*sigh* I just don't get you apolytoners and your obsession with SMAC. I played it twice, and never touched it again. I like sci-fi, just not in a game. I want earth.![]()

Nah Alexnm, Firaxis is gonna one-up them and make a Civilization team-based FPS.But i'd rather have Master of Magic 2 then anything, improve terrain mangement, keep the combat system, add more cool spells and balance em. Would be great.

'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

"step backward" is an apt description. I think I played civ3 all of 2 days out of the box, and went right back to SMAC.Originally posted by Guynemer
