The fact you dont know what is happening around you is one of my biggest hates. i liked in civ2 mp it told you causualty losses and to whom.

you could also in civ2 mp do all your city micromanamgent during the other players turn....

i agree

I do hope CIV IV is much more than a graphics update

you know "eye-candy"

bells and whistles

time will tell

[MrFun]

So is there any information on a more accurate release date?

[Nikolai]

No.

[MrFun]

damn it to hell

[Shogun Gunner]

Done.

[Nikolai]

That was not nice.

Meanwhile, Sid Meier's Civilization IV continues to progress quite nicely. The gameplay is really beginning to click, the 3D graphics are nothing short of spectacular, and the multiplayer game is coming together faster than we expected. We've also been doing a lot of work on the game's internal architecture to allow for easy player-modification (mods) using the industry-standard Python and XML programs, and we confidently expect you folks to come up with some great new maps, scenarios, units and even entire civs

Not very many people on Apolyton are nice to one another . . . . . .


yet we still keep coming back in the love-hate relationship kinda way.

Conflict is the spice of life!

[Shogun Gunner]

what was even done to anyone this time?

I thought we just relegated civ4 to hell, that's all....

don't worry, one of it's many bug fix patches will get it up to purgatory...then finally an interim release like C3C will take civ4 up to heaven

[curtsibling]

CIV already rules in valhalla!

It just gets more pious is all!

Well ok, this time around it wasn't an Apolytoner targeting another Apolytoner with nukes, but just wait . . . . . . .

Rasputin,

"There is notihng like forming an alliance with a human player only to sweep your armies through his capital next turn..... and then getting Messages for the next milenium complaining aout it"

Have you really done what you described above?
I've never played online and I'd be horrified if someone did that to me.

My word really is my bond, and I expect it of others; Is this type of respect for others dying out?

Toby? (enquiring, not being crittical)

I treat human players the same way i treat the AI, if i need a resource that is in their cultural control, and they wont trade it, i will do what i have to do to get it.

If that means breaking alliances then so be it.

Another good thing to do is to get others to do your dirty work for you !!!

[Toby Rowe]

Getting someone else to do your dirty work is called diplomacy.

Attacking an ally is unforgivable- Thankgod NATO exists- one rat will swiftly be despatched by the others should it ever happen, and with current members, It won't.

Not so sure I'll ever play online if you are typical of moral standards. (If you were an ally, I'd give you the Iron or Uranium you wanted if a co-op victory was allowed): if world domination was the goal, I'd never ally in the first place.
