    I think it was supposed to be a great 3-D graphic feature but now its just ridiculous. I cant think of a more worthless feature in civ 2, the civ 1 city view was 2-D but I liked it, it gave the game a nice atmosphere, especially the marching soldiers when you conquered a city
    It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

        They might still have conquering armies marching in the city view. The city screens are always gonna be fluff for Civ games, but its damn good fluff, little stuff that just makes things more fun.

          not much fun reaaly

          i find the Advisors more fun, the city view wasnt reaaly useful , a bit like the throne room .... sugar candy thats nice for a while but after a while it gets turned off never to be seen again .

            I liked the cityview in The first Civ game and checked the cities all the time, but I think the city view in Civ2 was worse than in Civ1, but from the screenshot I think the cityview will be a nice feature

            But the throne room in Civ1 was annoying, but this was more because I had to change disk all the time...I had an Amiga without a HD...but I guess I wont have this problem in Civ3
            This space is empty... or is it?

              Rasptuin, try http://www.theunderdogs.org

              I downloaded mine there, no problemo. It won't allow you to link directly to the download page, put just do a game search for "Civilization" and browse the results.

                Fluff defines a game...the best part of Conquest of the New World is watching the animated bears chase people around your buildings...

                  I don't even think I've used it that long. I think I've only looked at about five times at most. It's kind of lame. Although, it does add flavor to the game. It seems appearant that the City View will be in Civ3, from all the screenshots.

                  i find the Advisors more fun, the city view wasnt reaaly useful , a bit like the throne room
                  I hate the advisors while I happen to like the throne room. I wish the would expand upon this option and make it even a far greater option.

                  But the throne room in Civ1 was annoying, but this was more because I had to change disk all the time...I had an Amiga without a HD...but I guess I wont have this problem in Civ3
                  I have never played Civ1 but I do know that the thron room was only in Civ2. I believe Civ1 had a palace of some sort.

                  I've been curious to see how the play in Civ1 is, as well. So I tried your link and the only game I found there was Advanced Civilization, I typed in Civilization. Is this the correct game? I don't think it is, especially because of this statement "Advanced Civilization is another one of Avalon Hill's classic board games".
                  However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                    The city view option in Civ 3 might come with some uselful features.

                      Darn. I guess I downloaded it from some other site, though I clearly remember it was the Underdogs. I think I'll search for it and put the link here. Aren't I nice?

                          You're right, it wasn't a throne room in Civ1, but a palace instead, but the thing was acutally the same...choose what part should be upgraded first...next...etc

                            I thought the city view was fun to play with, like all the other extras, but I'd take rock-solid gameplay and a killer AI over the fluff any day.

                              I think they had to remove all the Microprose games due to some copyrigt protection or something like that, and I wanted to download Colonization and Civilization
