Yeah pretty much. Civ3 was always based around SP.........and even though MP came later they didn't change the things they would need to to make MP work. -
My mate - a t'rrific Civ 2 player - claims Civ 3 improved with something called "Play The World". He's urging me to try it. I've avoided Civ 3 like the plague - or even SARS - after the wholesale bagging it got. What is "Play The World"? Does he have a point?
I should point out that he hated Civ 3 when it came out. He has now decided that it's a good game if you accept that you can never win." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

You should get this friend playing with us. Who needs civ 3 when we have the parrot?
Rise of Nations is getting some rave reviews, including from some credible people.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

He started a couple of games a few years ago, before you arrived on the scene. He's the lead singer with Machinegun Fellatio - that's a band, not something to which Peter Hollingworth turned a blind eye, although he would've if he could've - and spends months on tour so he can't commit to games. Pity. He's a very good player. Introduced me to Civ all those years ago.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

I paid for Civ2 and for Conflicts in Civilisation.i am sure he paid for it
Apolyton insisted on a conversion to MGE so I had to find MGE quickly, using a site and a patch that will remain nameless.
However, could we not take some of this discussion elsewhere?
I see 35 responses, and how many help?
All the no-limits patch does is prevent rollover when you get to 32K gold, and a few other bells and whistles.
Has anyone experienced conflicts between the no-limits patch and older versions of civ?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I don't know what the no limits patch is, but I lost my original civ mge disk so installed my original version of civ onto my new computer and used the conversion files i found at civfanatics to convert it to multiplayer gold. works perfectly.Hold my girlfriend while I kiss your skis.Comment

Finbar: PTW is the expansion for Civ3, and MP was not available before it was released. I don't think the MP will ever be popular or that playable, but for a SP kickabout Civ3 is not as bad as some claim. The AI got a few tweaks for PTW so that it plays better than in the earlier versions.
It's down to time I think. Don't let it cut into your Civ2 time, but if you have more time Civ3 with PTW is worth a look IMO.Comment

I wont be getting Conquests...............but if you already have Civ3 then play a few games to get your money's worth. By no means does it have the longevity of Civ2, but much of the bashing was due to disappointment - there are many worse TBS games out there.Comment

Just install civ twice on your machine, keep the first SP version and install a new original version, upgrade this one with the patches and you'll have both.Originally posted by obiwan18

To play MP you need to play with the same patches I think.Comment

Yes, everyone has to be the same. I have heard of rare occasions where all the players weren't synced and it worked for awhile, but some say those are urban legends.Originally posted by atawa

It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
