These civ3 people will be easy pickings in MP

[HappySunShine]

It seems that alot of the civ3 players don't like rushing...nor do they like competition...or micromanaging...or anything they don't feel is in the FUN spirit of the game. Even the famed Velociryx has turned out to be nothing more than an SP rookie with pretty words. Yes, we will dominate civ3 and we shall rule under an iron fist! Take heed my comrades for in just a few months time we shall establish our rule ove the SP rookies that inhabit the civ3 forums. And a glorius rule it shall be!! MUWAHAHAHAA!!!

For once, I totally agree with you. (yes, I'm shocked)
MP is a totally different game and it should be quite interesting.

RAH
We're better than the AI

[Ming]

I'm surprised by their attitudes.
They don't see the need to micro manage to maximize their potential...
(they make it sound like you need spread sheets to do it )

They will ignore a strategy because it might not be fun...
They don't want to play with people who treat it as a war game... Are they in for a shock.



They obviously haven't played much Civ MP

They can always create their version of the "Diplomatic" game... and we can expect them to degenerate into war fests later

[HappySunShine]

I've designed 3 rushes already....and they hit nearly as early as they do in civ2!! HAHAHAHAA!!! In some ways I think civ3 makes it easier to rush. Don't tell them that in the civ3 forum though, I'm enjoying my thread. As long as they don't **** up MP I will still dominate. Even more so because there's no longer any hut luck.

Are the two that puzzle me most.

That's a big on avoiding it if it's not fun! I can go out in my day-to-day life and have as little fun as a fellow can possibly imagine! But when I sit down to play a computer game, I'm looking to have....fun. I paid sixty bucks to be entertained. At least they pay ME to go to work at my current job....I guess what surprises me most is that there are people who would pay good money to do something that might NOT be fun....or am I missin' a part of the equation?

Thanks for saying my words were "pretty," Sunshine

Sometimes winning is hard work

[Ming]

And geting your head handed to you isn't fun either

[Velociryx]

True....and come to think of it, neither was paying the extra ten bucks for the Limited Edition tin (thanks to you both for NOT commenting on that, btw).

Dunno....two different schools of thought I s'pose.

-Cheers

Gee I seem to remember making fun of the limited edition. But if you missed it and bought it, for THAT please accept my deepest apologies. At least I use the expensive tin to store all my old civ discs and manuals.
Still useless.

Acually the warrior rush will be quite effective thanks to the wonderful combat model. Even vet phalanx fortified on good terrain will eventually lose.

Why should I bring it up... I spent the extra bucks too.

How are you MP Wizards any better than the AI. I know what the AI is going to do, and I know what you are going to do.

I will remain a SP game player because I like to change my way of playing, I like to be able to try new things.

With MP, I won't be able to do that will I?

I will have to follow your mindless rush strategies(tactics) to stand a chance.

Sunshine: You make me laugh.

MP doesn't make a person good at the game.

[War4ever]

MP is the thing that makes a person truly great at the game.... though there are many SP out there who simply do not have the time.......the computer is a joke....the real Sun tzus are those who play other humans....unless you give me Deep Blue to run the ai...i/most will crush it everytime

as for the rush....well.....so be it....there will be ways around it.....but its the first strat that will be used....

justlike civ 2...when the game ages...we will all be playing it differently

[SpencerH]

I've read some crap on this site, but this lot takes the cake. A bunch of "big-shots" smarming it up cos they play CIV2 MP.... the game where you can obliterate your enemy with arty.

Just because we dont like playing the rush game doesnt mean we cant. I dont play the same chess gambit every time either.

How is it that only people who play MP, say that? Just because you can beat other MP players doesn't make you great.

I've never played MP, Does this automatically mean I am a bad player, or as sunshine says a "rookie"?

No it doesn't, it means I don't see how doing the same thing game after game is much fun.

Who the hell am I going to brag to? Other people on the board?

Then I wouldn't be seen as any better than sunshineboy.


And who needs that?
