Freeciv vs. Civ2MP

[CapTVK]

Seeing as there's already a SMAC vs. Civ3 poll here's my attempt to get the fire going. A Freeciv vs. Civ2MP poll!

Some conditions before you vote though:[*]You must have actually played one regular game of Civ2MP[*]You must have actually played one regular game of Freeciv (SP or MP).

civ II MP , freeciv just aint it

[H Tower]

i haven't tried freeciv in a long time, i can't compare right now.

[spartak]

I can't vote - having played neither. CIV2 SP was pretty cool though...

Freeciv... it has a really nicely made future technology concept.
But it... it just "doesn't have it". Civ2MP, just ahead.

Hehe Cap, one of these days I will get around to trying Freeciv....but I am going to wait till you've polished it.

Lots of free jam and you could yet be a civ2 beater.

Id have to say Civ2MP because i get alot of illegal operations trying to start freeciv client sometimes, can be very annoying. The graphics dont bother me so much, but if im gonna be staring at the screen for 4+ hours id rather stare at civ2...

LOL, I bet this wasn't the response you were hoping for, Cap I'd love to vote for FreeCiv for you but I'm afraid I have extremely little experience with Civ2MP, so that wouldn't really be fair, now would it?

[Maquiladora]

Aah maybe i made it sound too bad (he said backtracking) one thing i do like is that i can download it at work in no time and play and the execution faults disappear on the winME machine at work as opposed to my home win98se machine...

Cap (quite rightly) banned those that haven't tried freeciv from voting. But there aren't that many that have.

That's where tools like Civ2gfx come in. Just take your own Civ2 set with you. That's what I did.

That condition is there with good reason. Polls tend to go a bit out of a whack if you're voting for/against games you haven't even actually played yourself. Only actual experience should count, not some personal bias based on "hearsay'.



As for the low turnout, well the year has just started. I'm sure more people will come along. Plus I haven't voted myself yet. heheh...

The poll results you say? Well, there isn't a single game in the world that appeals to everybody, commercial, free or otherwise. Some like Civ3 or CtP, I like Civ2 and Freeciv. If people don't like it it's their own preference.
But remember, your opinion counts with Freeciv. If you're complaining about a bug, a poor feature or bad graphics and can make valid case it usually gets adressed . If you're willing to invest a little of your own time it goes even faster.

And those results do count....
