A glimmer of Optomism

My scepticism revolves around how much new stuff we will actually see in the final product. The attempt to supply extra features was not very ambitious and started from a viewpoint of Civ II which had already been surpassed in many ways by later products.

Although I am optimistic about Civ3, this has been a nagging concern of mine as well. I understand that in doing the sequal, the developement team had to pay proper hommage to Civ2, but it seemed most the initial press focused on the fact that they wanted to improve on Civ2, not that Firaxis wanted to make a new title in the series... like they wanted not to offend the Civ2 players

Maybe all the pessimism is getting to me, I just had to agree. Still thinking positive, tho!
