Play the world...

It does tug at my heart strings some times.....especially disabled people...working for the govt had made me realize how many different tiers of help are out there

its imperfect, but i don't know how to change it....

ah who am i kidding, i have coverage and thats all that matters

Beats being unemployed I guess.......though less time for civ.

i have been unemployed for only 6weeks in the past 10 years.......

but yes work does cramp civ playing, speaking of which are you still playing these days? or just causing a nuisance in the forums j/k

[DrSpike]

Mostly just the latter, though I try to get in a game when I can. Been really busy, though I am keeping an eye on civ3 MP. Perchance we shall meet on that battlefield soon if the battlefield is worthy of such warriors as us.

[War4ever]

well if we can set up a time, which is hard for us, lets play again!

[DrSpike]

My gaming time has been fragmented lately, and civ2MP, whilst I love it, isn't really a game you can play in too many bits and bobs

As soon as I get civ3MP I will msg you though; if you have played with Rah you can show me how the pieces move.

[War4ever]

lol yeah, we have barely touched the tip of the iceburg in civ3

[DrSpike]

Well I haven't rushed out and bought it. I did that with Medieval Total War and MP was unplayable until the 1st patch.....isn't much better now.

MP is where the dedicated fans are, but SP is where the money is for a lot of games. Not a good combo for us dedicated fans really.

How much water are we taking? Is it time to head for the lifeboats?

[War4ever]

well we tried a couple of different games with the first patch....those were a nightmare,


then we played with the new patch but the lag with one of mates was brutal that night so .....

its been hard to get our group together to play, but civ3 doens't have the same feel as the first two did.

the game at this point is a total bust IMO, but there are signs that it could be salvaged

proper testing is still needed to make a fair assessment

[Flatlander Fox]

I have had trouble for a couple of days with my connection slowing down dramatically. Next time it should be better though...

Testing should be interesting at least, since none of us really know what the hell we are doing.

[War4ever]

AMEN ot that.......but alas the game doesn't have the same appeal to me like the first two in the series

I tested it for 10min. The game lags as the host, civ2 had no lag as host. The chat is ****ing beyond bad. It's probably the biggest example of gross incompetence at work. How hard is it to make a simple text only chat? Civ2's chat was a hundred times better than Civ3's chat. Everywhere I look I see incompetence in civ3. It was the first time I played PTW, and the last. I played about 4 turns and decided the game was just too ****ing bad.
