Sorry, that was a total non-issue with me. I have zero experience/interest with multiplayer.

Same here for the most part.

I didn't play a lot of multiplayer. Most of it was pbem anyways (none of which I finished ). I played a couple of games direct. But never got out the ancient age. I just did a horseman rush and crushed my opponent. Civ3 was better in single player. though some of the scenarios that came with conquests might have been fun in multiplayer. They aren't too long. As long as they are balanced, they could be fun.

There NEVER were any infidels in the center of Baghdad bugs in Civ3, especially Conquests! NEVER, I tell you!

[asleepathewheel]

No bugs like the sci age working?

Ralph, you should check in on the Gathering Storm forum, just to say hi. Its dead now, but there are some threads you should check out.

I know, I know.

Apparently Take 2 has changed their realease date from Winter 2005 to Coming Soon... Does this mean that there may be a September 30th release after all? Or is it a sign that we may have to wait until Spring 2006?

Or maybe it just hit the 4-month mark, so the description changed automatically to "coming soon"?


By the way, I own a game, released in 2001, which is still on version 1.0, with no major (not even medium) bugs, and no patches. I finished it twice, without crashes, and am still playing some custom campaigns, still no big issues (better custom AI, though). No, I do not mean Minesweeper.

That lenghty prelude was for this statement: I know for a fact that a big game can be bug-less on the day it hits the stores.

Please tell us what game it is as well

Mechcommander 2. Never had a problem with it.

If you look at the site who started the september rumour, http://www.gamershell.com/news/23334.html, they have now backed down and says:

Update: 2K Games rejected the release date, the game will be available in late 2005.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Well, this little hoax kept ourselves occupied for three, maybe four days... Surely helped us to pass the time as we wait for CivIV... Good enough.

Move to next distraction.

I heard from a reliable source that will be easter eggs with the whole Firaxis staff in a naked conga line.

I have pre-ordered the game from Amazon.co.uk supposedly the release date is Sep 30 3005.

So long....
