c172# CIVIII: BETWEEN EUPHORIA AND DISAPPOINTMENT

[Ubik]

As I can see, we all have the same basic needs/expectations: We don't need another Civ rerun, but we do need a Civ game, not something else.

As far as I can understand, I believe the game shall be what we expect them to deliver. Another good thing is that they most likewise are going to send it out around Xmas, so they can polish and tweek it till then (the reports from E3 shows that it is quite playable already).

I can hardly wait for it.

Look, as long as Firaxis takes the best parts of CivII and the best parts of Alpha Centauri and adds a few new 'best parts', mixes them all together in CivIII, I will be happy.
