should I buy civ2 or civ3?

MGE is a really good game. If it is costs a 10 spot or whatever, it will be well worth your time.

You will be schooled by the old-timers, though. Just get used to the idea.

I don't mind. I mean I'll play hard and all. But I'm more into the <strike>trolling</strike> social interaction.

Actually, TOT is a great game, and opened a door to scenarios that would be impossible for...probably any other TBS game one could mention. Problem was, it didn't have a great scenario editor to go with the great scenario language, and most scenario builders just didn't want to take the time. I bought it in the$20 range, and I have never regreted it.

If you MP, you'll be schooled by the vets in both schools, so that's not part of the equation.

So why would you by Civ3 now? Wait a bit and you'll get MP, scenarios, and more when the "real" version comes out.

For now, buy Civ2 MGE . Lots to learn (trust me on that!) and many ways to have fun, from SP to scenarios to MP. And still a viable social scene.

(Granted, I'm trusting that Civ3 MP will be an upgrade. But at least I'm not spending money on beta versions and waiting for the next patch.)

buy civ2 and come play the democracy game.

you should stay an independant though, the political parties pay you no bribes whatsoever for joining

I do

And yet your Eco Party (or whatever it's called) has only IW as a member. :sad:

CiV2 RuLeZ, Do0d! CiV3 is a F4G!

rah, with what you know of Civ3, do you think PTW will better than MGE?

I mean would you rather play civ2 against other humans or civ3 against other humans. (Presumably you prefer MGE to Civnet, no?)

For now civ2 against other humans. Civ3 still needs some work. But if you took the AI out of CIV3, a lot of the problems would go away. I'll reserve judgement until there's something to judge.


YES MGE over Civnet.

What a stupid question GP.

You know what you want to get. Now go and do it.

Wasssup, stud???

You and Carolyn getting along? Are you instructing in a trash bag in the rain? My shoulder is lots stronger. Almost back to 100%.

Went skiing at A-basin last few days of the season.

Back in ATL now.

ummm...I guess I want MGE? Only concern is if SP will be lousy. Heard the AI was different.

I like to mull these things over for a few years before I act, ya know!

I don't think you are going to buy anything at all. I think you just want something to talk about.

Your just chicken i'm going to smash your civ into tiny little pieces.

I start work in a couple of weeks. I think its going to suck. oh well.

Our trip was pretty cool. visited moab, zion nat. park, vegas, Lake havasu city, Palm Springs.
