Good gosh! there really is a serious legacy for this great game!
and here I thought it was just me!
Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST
I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...
...but Father Beast beat me to it! - Randomturn -
So what's your impression on my column?
Currently it looks like no-one else is interested.

I liked it!
It was a good idea to summarize this, but I would never have thought of it(of course? )!

Thanks, Nikolai!
BTW, Mr Muprhy has edited my text.
It should be 31st October and not 28th. Sorry!"Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment

I must apologise for my lingual mistake in the column.
It should of course be "lost", and not "loosed".
AFAICS there's no other mistakes."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment

Nice summary, thoughtfully presented. With Civ III fever at full pitch, you probably won't get many responses. But those who read it will have their thinking tweaked by your reminders. Way to go!Originally posted by Rasbelin

personally, i think civ2 is going to die a quicker death
and no way it lasts to/through a civ4
but that's just my opinionPrince of...... the Civ Mac ForumComment

Blaupanzer: Thanks for your support!
You're right with that Civ III fever;
no-one really seems to be interested
of Civ II anymore. Everyone is just
waiting for news from US/Canada from
those lucky firsts.
d_dudy: You might be right, but as
I said already in the column, it's impossible
to play Civ III with many PC's still in use

naahh... civ2's death will take a while. by the time civ4 (if there is one in 5 years) comes out, there will be darn few people playing civ2 regularly. ther will still be some serious civ2 playing for at least a year.Originally posted by d_dudy

I agree with Father Beast. I think that
the destiny of Civ II will be same as for Civ,
if there's going to be a Civ IV."Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - SolverComment

Civ2 will not die until there's a new heaven and earth

Nice column Rasbelin.
Father Beast, I remember your column #138: TURN-BASED STRATEGY: THE THINKING PERSON'S GAME. It was great!! After all father knows beast. I especially liked the coffee part - I'm addicted too and get headaches if I don't drink.Comment
