    Keep on Civin'... Civ II MP I mean
    Couldn't agree more. Civ III has made me appreciate Civ II Mp more. The elegance of the engine, the little helpful features. All the fun of the human contest, which I never tire of.

    One victory condition that is common in war games is capture the capital. Maybe they could implement that. I couldn't be bothered suggesting it though. They don't seem to pay much attention to us.

    Another one is capture the capital and kill the leader. But they don't have leader figure in SP. Maybe they could have a leader figure in MP........I have no idea how different its going to be.
    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?

      Civ3 really sucked when it was first released, too many loopholes (like that forest trick and pop rushing). Patch 1.21 made it playable, and I'm hoping for the expansion pack to be 'the real civ3'. I'm not buying it straight away until I hear what people on here say first though.

        The reason I think it will be better, more options on conducting your Civ.
        I can see someone trying an all out blitz on another Civ, the defending Civ beefs up defenses, keeps developing culture, negotiating fairly and in good faith, and beating the hostile player.

            Oh i wouldn't say that. I often felt, "I can't take one more turn of this"

                  1.21 is perfectly playable, but it will never have the depth and versatility of civ2. It does have its good points though, especially if you think of it as civ lite. I play emperor/deity level comparison games in the CF tournament, and they are good fun.

                  I have my doubts about multiplayer though, because I don't see how they will change the game to stop people building 1-3 cities, getting to iron or horseback riding and just rushing. It may be a good arcade civ MP, 2x king players will no doubt be happy.

                    Why do you say that? It's nothing like 2X.

                      I really wanted to love Civ3 but it sux, I've uninstalled it and only play Civ2, mostly MP. It's the same reaction I had to SMAC, AoE etc.

                      It's that damn small granary box and all it implies! I hate it.

                        Unless they makes changes I can see games being over by 2000BC the vast majority of the time. It could turn out to be civ skittles. Hence the analogy with 2x.

                          If almost all your games on 2x2x end bf 2000bc you might considder taking some lessons

                            I don't play 2x2x, I am basing the statement on the opinion of players that do though. Are you suggesting 2x2x king games aren't over on average more quickly than a 1x1x deity game with same map settings?

                                i couldn't make the 1.21fpatch if that is what it was work with my downloaded copy? but it would work fine without the patch....

                                i hear the improvements are better with the patch but that it still suffers from poor implementation

                                we got what we all asked for...and now none of us like it

                                thanks for listening to us firaxis.........WE fIIcked up our game with all those suggestions and YOU took us literally....

                                so , where is that list of corrections for civ4....oh wait, we already have a working copy.....CIV2 MGE
