Reasons why i'm so pissed off at Microprose:

[MGamer07]

Okay, well for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, check out the "Why no map editor?" thread.

ToT is O.K. if you don't already have the old Civ2. But if you think about it, compare the two games:

Civ2: - ToT:

Map editor /No editor
Rules editor /No editor
Graphics editor /No editor
Okay graphics /Blurry Graphics( I
like'em anyways,
but other
people don't)
One Map /Up to 4, maybe more
Lower Events /Higher Events
Cheaper /More expensive
Many on multi-play /7 max. people
Thousands of scenarios /2 (Converter doesnt
count)
Lots of mods /1 or 2
Kept me playing for 3 yrs /Probably won't be
playing very much
by 3 months
1 customizable game /4 not-so-
customizable games
Many updates (2.42) /1 update (1.1)
Few bugs /Many bugs
Full time and budget used on it/Cheap time-filler until Civ3

Theres a lot more, but I'm gettin' sick of typing. Well, I'll still stay with the game anyways, but I'm not gonna recommend it to anybody.

Well, those are my reasons.

oops, that didn't do wat i wanted it to do, i wanted to make it a table like thing.

Just so you do not try it again: the creation of tables using HTML is not permitted in these forums -- it is an abuse of HTML privledges.

How is a table an abuse of HTML? I don't get it.

I agree with MGamer07, the unit graphics are blur and childish like its for kids, I believe majority of the Civ2 players are mostly adults and would like to see much "cool" graphics then these. I would rather go back to the still images then the animated ones.

[Alexandre Madeira]

Agreed, I'll eventually replace all unit graphics will the old civ2 ones, the good ones.

I like ToT graphics and I never played original game. So maybe it is a matter of tradition? Think, if you have been offered civ2 and ToT graphics some years ago which would you choose?


I too have some complaints, but I think it is unfair to condemn the whole product. For example...I played scifi game only once and I will never again, I dont like it. But there are people who play both fantasy and scifi games, and just think how much effort a team must invest to balance gameplay in civ-like game. I respect that.

Only thing I have against microprose is that with all the animated graphics, the water is still! I got used to it playing civ1 and now I miss it...

Tables are useful on webpages, but not so much in forum posts; they are for the most part frivilous in this instance.

More to the point, someone may attempt to create a table in a post to a thread and not properly code it and potentially cause problems with the thread itself loading correctly, or at all.
