IMHO, Civ3 looks better, but CTP2 IS better!

CTP2 is very customizable. The SLIC language is a powerful gift.

No script language in Civ3. Civ3 modders can change unit appearence, unit attributes, but not unit behaviour. CTP2 modders can do it!

If a Civ3 player want a new feature, he has to ask to Firaxis. A CTP2 player can implement it by himself or can ask to the modder community.

CTP2 is a better game!

[Provost Harrison]

It blatantly is IW!!!

And I am not a modder, my concern is not with how the game can be messed around with but how good the game is. If the game is crap to begin with, I have no time for it. Civ3 is by far the better game!

[Immortal Wombat]

No no... you misunderstand.

and that is my final word on the matter

That is not true You just added more words...

Year Provost you are a out of the box player.

The real question is how good you can make a game, if you can't crack the *.exe and if you don't have the source code. It is possible to make the CTP2 AI very aggressive, you can even put it into suicide mode. If something is so costumizable it can't be crap. Now why should Civ3 a so much better game:

-No slic, obsolate tileimprovement building system depending on time wasting units
-Obsolate 8 bit 255 color graphics
-Obsolete hard drive space wasting graphics format
-No wonder videos
-Obviously cheating AI
-No stacked combat
-No ZOCs
-No German version available right now
-No scenarios

And that's only the stuff that I know so I can ask you why I should buy such a game for 45 €uros, if I allready the own the processor of Civilistion: Call To Power the civ3_project. So my conclusion there is no need to downgrade.

So long lives CTP2 the real Civ4.

I'm not some spotty computer nerd. How in the name of buggery should I know? I don't care, I just play the games, I don't don the anorak and get down to some hardcore cracking and coding

Why is IW making fun of my style?

That's not true, Provost

[Father Beast]

One can be essentially assured that Yin26 prefers CTP2 to Civ3.

heck, Yin prefers the original CTP to Civ3!

Go Figure.

[Ecthy]

That's not true, Father Beast...

Yin has actually no idea what a civ game has to be like so it is futile to even consider his opinion

[Immortal Wombat]

cos its good

Thats not true Andy

[Ecthy]

that's not true

you have no idea of what is good and what isn't

[Immortal Wombat]
