Hmm... How many XP's will we buy before they will spring Civ4? That's the question Firaxis is asking now.

Of course, being the addict that I am, I will probably buy them all! Looking forward to this one. The campaigns hopefully will be well done.

Some time back, I saw a thing from MS that they would not support WIN 98 after 5/04. For some of you, that means if you want to still play some older games, you will have to keep your current WIN 98 computer and buy a newer P-4 with XP on it.

Thank you to Firaxis. Looking forward to new scenarios

[FrostyBoy]

More Civs, more wonders, more terrain, more units.

Well, WE can do that too.


What we can't do is give the game more diplomatic depth. Who in the name of Jesus, is making the decisions at Firaxis. I keep getting this image of some marketing idiot running the show at Firaxis and not people who actually come up with good ideas - yknow those ideas that people like and make you untold millions of dollars? .. yeah.

[The Templar]

More buildings?

Already have enough of those. Building more will just become tedium! Besides, what can they add that won't require a rebalancing of the game?

[The Rusty Gamer]

Editor enhancements!

...a slew of editor enhancements...

This is what I want to know about. What enhancements?

Will we finally be able to create either/or situations for techs and buildings?

[The Rusty Gamer]

It talks about a campaign. Does that mean there will finally be scripting for scenarios and even random maps?

I think you have edit "preminant alliances"

More diplomacy is in the cards, as are fixed alliances. Hard to do WWII without it. We can also hope that Briggs' musing about the UN and Iraq may have an influence in this expansion, and not Civ4.

Forget Civ, we should have that in real life.

Hopefully, there will be proper support for adding units. Also, a decent (resolution passing) UN and improved diplomacy.

[Mr. President]

What, another expansion? They're really stringing everyone along, aren't they?

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

My wishlist is fairly small, and quite simple:

1) Improved diplomacy (like better UN and more diplomatic options).

2) A few tweaks to the trade model, especially over the sea, to make embargoes and piracy a much better option!!

3) Hopefully, the option to make certain buildings a prerequisite for certain units (this has been on the Firaxis wishlist for a while!)

4) Totally unlocking all of the editor functions in relation to improvements and wonders, corruption and culture. Also, events editing is a MUST!!!

Just a thought. Plz do it for us, Firaxis!!

Yours,
The_Aussie_Lurker.

Not sure, but the obvious answer is:

Not anymore
