Well, there are some crazy people here who think that Firaxis is simply a machine that churns out games.
Like the guys who wanted a webcam at Firaxis so that they "could keep an eye" on progress....
On second thought, I stand by my statement that if the game is 1% improved everyday, I have no qualms with waiting for it for anothr year.*grumbles about work*Comment

Yes, we do, but we are not going to get an answer as of yet, so don't even try to get one. I'm happy with what Dan has done around here...stated that he will put up some more screenshots soon and that he will try his best to have more "ask the civ team" questions answered. Thanks a lot Dan.Don't be bought off so easily. We want MP! We want MP!
While, I may have been one of the people who said they may not buy the game if MP weren't included, I have completely changed my mind and returned to my original position: I will buy Civ3 on the day of release no matter what.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.Comment

I bet that Civ 3 has been done for like 2 months and they are just keeping it under wraps so they can play it. I bet that Infogames thinks they are still polishing it, but really, they're spending 10+ hours per day having massive LAN MP games.
That's what I'd do.
To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Right on! The best way of waiting for MP is none other than playing SP. Single-player now. Multi-player whenever.Originally posted by SerapisIV

I was watching the making of Civ III video, and one of the Programmers was looking for memory leaks, or supposed to be. Next thing he knew it was 5 am. He said it was that addictive.Originally posted by SoulAssassin

Yeah, they are having office wars. That would be funny. See, the fact that they say they are down with the major features makes me edgy. Fearful for my MP. But I have patience.A wise man once said, "Games are never finished, only published."Comment

there you go, case in point, laid out for you in black and white: my case in the whole "Mike's a PR machine" war a few threads back. it's your $50, but I'd be extra aware of your decision, Techwins...While, I may have been one of the people who said they may not buy the game if MP weren't included, I have completely changed my mind and returned to my original position: I will buy Civ3 on the day of release no matter what.Last edited by Wiglaf; September 18, 2001, 20:02.Comment

In no way at all did Mike have any influence on my decision. In fact, I have always been planning to buy Civ3. When I heard that Civ3 may not include MP I was pissed off and kind of rebelled against Civ3 for a day or two. Then, I came to my senses and realized that nothing can stop from me buying Civ3. Tonight I bought my pre-order of Civ3 and a "making of the game" video came with it. The game looks phenomenal and I will be occupied enough with SP that I wouldn't be able to play MP even. Actually I won't play MP much until when my brother has his first semester of college end in December (he works full time and takes a full time college schedule, not much time to play MP as of late). Don't again say who judged my decision on buying Civ3there you go, case in point, laid out for you in black and white: my case in the whole "Mike's a PR machine" war a few threads back. it's your $50, but I'd be extra aware of your decision, Techwins...?

Mike's on here at 1:00 am Monday morning, so I'd say that's some overtime, unless he's at home using his free time to browse.

The staff at Firaxis can't work 24/7.
Incidentally, I'm currently without an internet connection at home and I'm at Firaxis too often to bother with getting a new connection, so if I'm online, I'm working (or playing Civ3
).
And speaking from past experience, immense amounts of overtime near the end of the project are not at all uncommon at game companies.... especially when the game is fun...

But what about Hotseat. I'm sure Firaxis could include this without extensive programming and it's not an online feature either, that gets rid of a lot of programming and the like that is required to set games up on the net.
The plus would be that we could have friends over to play and it's faster than the net, plus it will tide us over until we can get MP assuming again it is late. Pretty please......

Mike, what if you prepare a Firaxis civ3 team with the best 4 players and we do the same at Apolyton for the ultimate battle.
(one month after release of course, otherwise you guys would have too much experience)
And than we say.......
If the Apolyton team wins they win a 'day at the Firaxis office' and if the Firaxis team wins..... we buy you a big load of beer to drink near sunrise while fixing the bugs in the patches
