Play the world...

[Flatlander Fox]

I'm trying a duel tonight, which is the only way I've heard that the game will work.

Why is it that for the last week or so, NOBODY from Firaxis has said a thing.

Even after the release of the original game, there were quite a few problems, and they were still visible.

Now, nothing.

They may not be posting as much now as they did right after the release, but they are reading the threads. The feature that mods use to track what people are doing on the site at any given time (a useful feature) has shown me that many members of the Firaxis team are online and constantly checking threads in the PTW and Multiplay forums. But Firaxis is well known for not saying much until they have something definitive to say... which isn't that bad of an idea

But we men like to argue with debates and not spammy little driblets to carry our points, so, if your eyes are tender, you may feel assaulted by the amount of words... in which case itd be better if you go lie down and rest.

A subtle way to say the posts are long, word-police...

But wait! i believe somewhere in the internet right now someone might be making a similar analogy that would equally disturb you! QUICK! To the loser-mobile!

Well, it is called Civfanatics for a reason!

I just read that eloquent thread. It's been awhile since I've seen those sort of posts. You wouldn't know someone by the name of Yin26 would you!?

But coming back to the difference between Civ2MP and Civ3 (PTW) I would have to state that Civ2 is more " pure" than Civ3. Civ3 introduced a number of interesting features but mananged to break the Civ-gaming formula in the process.

Civ2 was fine when it came out of the box. The mechanism was very similar to Civ1 but introduced some new features: hitpoints/firepower, advisors (come one, everybody thought they were funny), some new WoW's all of which enhanced the game but didn't get in the way. The Civ2 gamebalance was perfect. The fact that the same rules.txt is still unchanged 6 years later is proof of that.

This is not the case with Civ3 which still had major rule problems to be fixed after the game was released (anyone remember the lumberjack strategy?).

It shouldn't be left to the players to fix Civ3 themselves. It should have been play balanced from the start...

This is a bit invasive isn't it?

Does it only work with those of us that have subscribed here?

I don't like it.

Tough Noogies.

It's very useful when you have known trouble makers acting up. You can respond almost as quickly as they post. (which for me, I don't use it very often) For the real paranoids out there, there is usually no reason to check it to see what you're doing.

The only other reason I use it is to see if someone is on-line if I'm looking for a game, but there are many other ways to accomplish that. (including the new group listing or even just checking the member list)

It's not like they have a camera in your room or anything......they can just see what you are doing at 'poly. I really don't see the problem.
