It better not be, before I've tried it
Seriously, it seemed that when CivIII came out, everyone here bought it, played it, and slowly came back to II... I suspect the same thing will happen with PTW.
CivII will fade away, rather than die. Eventually, it'll be like playing Pac-Man."I'm a guy - I take everything seriously except other people's emotions"

weird, we're obviously still noobs. (even though we played III games before) At first we played turnless. With the lag, you'd be trying to move a unit and the turn had advanced and all you cities were revolting. You also have to be careful on how the turn clock is set. With any type of lag it moves way way too quick. It has potential, but the opening still lacks the excitement buzz you get off of civ II mp.
It was funny that while we were testing, I'd host and by the time War would get into the game, two or three other players would be in. hahahahahhaha
Yes, if you want to limit the game, a password is recommended. It was humorous, but it means there were a lot of people out there looking. Which could be promising, if we can figure out the right settings. Some of the game options lean towards one night stands so it could be fun. But still no excitement.
RAH
after playing we had to play a II game to clean our palate.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Yes the civ3 chat interface is obnoxious, i believe we were both trying to chat to each other, but somehow he wasn't getting my messages.....
they appear right in the game on the screen, on the left where it tells you what your cities are building (when they finish something that is)
totally lacks excitement, often couldn't finish my turns in time, units wouldnt' move , the lag was bad, and we had very fast ping times and it was a duel....
however , once we get through this initial phase, i believe that the game will be fun, but only for players who like TBS style games.
if you want excitement and fast paced, the civ series is weak....go play AOE a FPS style game....
TBS is for those who wish to take their time.....
in the end it will be playable, as it stands right now, its not a great game.....but the SP mode of PTW is decent.
and yes, Civ 2 was definitely needed to remove the foul taste civ3 leftLast edited by War4ever; November 25, 2002, 00:45.Boston Red Sox are 2004 World Series Champions!

linguo dead?
linguo is dead.
as soon as i get bored of AoE again I'll be back to Civ II MP... it seems i've been alternating between the two games for the last 5 years (except for a fling with diablo II a few years back)I'm 49% Apathetic, 23% Indifferent, 46% Redundant, 26% Repetative and 45% Mathetically Deficient.
