Does anyone have any real idea of how good old Sid is as playing the actual games he make?

Re: How good is Sid?
I would imagine that having insight into how the game is built would give you the insight on how to beat it. He wouldn't have that sense of discovery or accomplishment we have.Originally posted by Haon

When the game first came out, Sid was quoted as liking playing the English - which is odd because by huge consent they've always been the worst civ, especially back than with weaker commercial and expansionist traits. The UU is of course the games biggest design disaster, leaving some folks thinking "hmmm, the game does to the English what Hollywood does - take the piss"
Maybe he played the worst civ because knowing the ins-and-outs so well he liked the challenge of playing a crippled lamer.Comment

My guess is that since the game is done and he is not much involved in the addon, he probably does not play at all. At the office it is the current project and at home it is the family. I saw him on a TV show talking about console games with the kids.
I doubt that he has logged the kind of hours some of the players here and other boards have in CivIII and surely PTW.Comment

I mean to say we don't really know, what is the point of that? Obviously we do not know. Hence the term I guess.
Sorry to be so blunt here, but you seem to make a habit of this type of post and often behind me. I do not mind being proven wrong, but at least wait until I am.Comment

I remember from somewhere that Sid likes Simgolf and other games. I don;t think he plays Civ3 much.
The question I have ALWAYS had though, is who at Firaxis is the mack-daddy kick-everyone's-butt player, and why doesn;t that person show up here at 'poly?
The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

who ever thought of calling Americans "Anglo-Saxons"?I use Posturepedic mattresses for a lifetime of temporary relief.Comment

The only involvement Sid had with Civ 3 (any version) was the name on the box.
Therefore, I'd surmise that his skills are probably pretty iffy at best, though I could be wrong.
