Civ3 now highest forum on the forum list

[Harovan]

Hmmm, the research cap can be easily modded out (just set min research to 1 turn and max to 999), but how is the trade system worthless? I find the 20-turn deals better than having one caravan delivered being enough for a game long trade. The combat system of Civ3 sucks, though, although the Civ2 system is also not without flaws.

Nice mod powered threadjack, btw

I tried that and it kept crashing.

To make life simpler for most of the people here, then you could put the OT on top, and relegate all of the real forums to subsections of the OT behemoth.

I agree that Civ 3 should be at the top of the list (well, at least until Civ 4 comes out), as this was the merger of the Greek Civ site and the Ultimate Civ site, not the Ultimate RoN site and the Greek AC site. Civ 3 is 'poly's biggest draw and the majority of (on-topic) posts will be made in the Civ 3 forums.

Very nice indeed!

Especcially now when the new x-pack is released.

But when you think about how old Civ II is, those are still remarkable numbers and makes a statement about how solid Civ II still is. While Civ III maybe ok for PBEM, it is really not a good Live MP game.

Agreed. Civ II does have legs. I doubt very much that 3 will hold on as well if and when 4 comes along. That is if 4 is to 3 as II was to the original.

Of course, C3C looks good, so we'll see.

Add another vote for Civ2, the game people actually enjoy playing.

So what, I've been a masochist all this time playing Civ3?

Civ II MP is still the best Civ Game!

I think it's interesting that the Civ II MP civ group has more members than the Civ III MP civ group

maybe because the real civ 3 mp community has it's own website, the ladder? http://www.myleague.com/civ3players/

Civ III has many nice new features and better graphics.
However, the science system with it's research cap stink... and the trade system is worthless. The combat system was a step backwards... I could go on.

Give me 20 howitzers and I'll give you the world (and on deity). Yeah right it's better....


I do agree that thanks to scenario creation Civ2 has longer-lasting potential. But other than that the regular game is nowhere near comparable in strategic depth, challange, and replay value to Civ3.

Hopefully Civ4 will not only have a good regular game but all the scenario features that Civ2 players want (and add some of the stuff that was in SMAC). Only then will the Civ/SMAC community be one...

Screw Civ III. Tally up a vote for Civ II.

Civ III graphics are trash. Long live Civ II graphics!

Are you guys sure you aren't all Danes.

I thought only Danes could get into an argument over something so unimportant

I'm not a Dane, but as a Norwegian, I certainly isn't too far off...
