Will There Be A Ctp3 ?

[Frozzy]

Please provide a link where somebody has said Laywers are a good idea. Thank you.

[Kuciwalker]

He said "stupid is in the eye of the beholder" in response to a post that mentioned that Lawyer units, among other things, are stupid

[Frozzy]

You still haven't provided me with a link where someone has explicitly stated that Lawyers are a good idea.

[Kuciwalker]

I never said anyone did. I was just saying that, despite the subjectivity involved, that they are an overall bad idea is pretty obvious

[TheBirdMan]

Lawyers are good for one thing - they can nullify the damage (read loss of production) those damned corporate branches makes

The idea including business in the game is actually good - but it could surely be implemented better than it is in CTP.

Why don't you start a "ctp3 List" forum? I know I don't want Lawyers or Public Works or other stupid ideas, so I believe my participation to the civ4 list ends here.

I dont see that motto in bold at the top of the forum, its upto the individual if they want to give their ideas.

One poll goes the way of a CtP concept and youre crying into your 'special edition' tin. Like Firaxis cant do their own job and decide for themselves

Isn't this thread a bit premature? I mean, isn't CtP2 still in production?

[Kuciwalker]

Huh? Aren't you a little behind the times?

I thought the kind souls at Apolyton were in the process of finishing up CtP2. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Thats not CtP3 per se, though.

Anything that we might produce will be a patch on CtP2... and thus be at most CtP2.9999, even if its significantly different.

I really hate it. Implement it in Civ4 and I won't buy it.

2) public works.

I don't really care about these.

Now, what else what that great about CTP, that it should be blend with civ3 into a new civ game? I would stay far away from it, both in ideas as well as implementation.

If they do not implement it or find another solution that wouldn't make meto move around 200 units each turn then propably I won't buy Civ4. I did buy Alpha Centauri and Civ3 for that reason. So why do you hate public works?

If noone from Civ3 visits this forum then there opinion doesn't count here, because they don't express their opinion here. So the discususion leads into that direction that is determined by the people who participate in them. So don't cry if noone is here.

Noone ever announced a CTP3 so there is no forum for that necessary, and actual we don't need to discuss what some company could do, we have the source code and can do the changes we consider are worth do be done on our own. But we think that Firaxis should at least listen what we consider as good.

It is already "finished". The Source Code project is changing the final product.

Not sure of the meaning of this Civ vs CtP funs debate if you take in account the title of this thread and its obvious purpose: "Will There Be A Ctp3?". I see no "Will CtP features be included in Civ4?" or "Is CtP better than Civ3?" in the title or implied in any way It is entertaining however to watch trolls throwing their arrows on their first chance even if that means being completely off topic. No offence there but you're out of line

As already mentioned in this thread Activision is no longer developing games, only publishing games developed by other companies that do not have the means to publish them themselves. Of cource it wouldn't surprise me if in the future Activision would resume its old habit and come back in the game development bussiness but it is common sense in the CtP community that the sequel won't continue for sure, at list from Activision hands. However if the source code release of CtP2 takes much publicity in the future it wouldn't be unlikely that a company would buy the right of the sequel from Activision and develop a CtP3.

For the time being there is a project and a team working on the code in a first attempt to release a patch for CtP2 with good results so far. Also there is a lot of discussion going on for many features of CtP2 and how they could be improved. Depending on the amount of the volunteers and their time and abilities it wouldn't be out of the question to see a CtP3 or something close to it from this community in the future.
