I agree with you, shade. There is no other game that had made me spend so many hours in front of my computer. Definitely 5 stars!

Well, the release of Civ3 poses an important dilemma. Civ 3 manages to fix many complaints and is a great step forward - the problem is, they only added maybe half of what they could have done.
civ3 offers:
much improved diplomacy
excellent ressource system
incredibly better war model (war is now to be entered very thinkfully)
Small Wonders are a great idea.
what is incredibly annoying about civ3:
units have no firepower anymore - it is so frustating to have tanks defeated by musketmen. (and pikemen too, sometimes)
corruption is so annoying you'll want to kill yourself
Concepts of resistance only half-implemented - they could have done so much about it - with colony cities fighting for independance, civil wars, and the likes.
Given that, civ3 is better than civ2, but far from being the instant classic civ2 was at its release.In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.

5 years and going on Civ2. That should speak for itself.Even with Civ3, they both can coincide nicely.

any game that gives 5+ years of entertainment has got to get 5 stars! the major thing i did n't like was pushing caravans about a large map, which has been sorted in Civ3
ignore the graphics scouse, you soon get used to them, the trade and culture systems REALLY makes you think about expanding too quickly in case your internal lines are broken by an enemy, and the AI seems much improved too (thou i've only had it a week or so)

I'm not even close to being done with playing Civ2 (I still have to: beat Deity, learn to play scenarios, multi-play, play ToT, make scenarios, make maps, finally finish my Civ2 maps site)
I do't think I'll buy Civ3 anytime soon. Not that it is that bad or anything. Just that I can very much live without it, because I have plenty other things to do.
As a side note, I don't think the results in this poll are very surprising. With Civ3 out, it's mostly the die-hard Civ2 fans (and the odd spammer) that visit the Civ2 forums.
