Also remember that the spy and diplomat have gone the way of the caravan. They are now a menu option thingy, not an actual unit. So you cant really compare this feature to Civ 2

of course theres a defence. kill that unit
i mean missile defenses for cruise missiles. and i hope they're good, like a really good one is expensive to build but pretty effectivePrince of...... the Civ Mac ForumComment

Well, in that case, I'm sure there is absolutely no defense for missiles, which makes a giant hole in the game, so it shouldn't be released until the after the fifth coming of christ is well past finished.Retired, and it feels so good!Comment

Hmmm, I wonder if I could make this an automatic response for whenever someone says that the deadline is making Firaxis "rush Civ3"? Just take out the beginning and it fits all circumstances!I never know their names, But i smile just the same

Spaceship: The winner is the first to launch the ship, not land it.
If this is true, i wonder how easy it would be to change it? I don't like this at all. . this cuts alot of strategy out, especially for peaceful games. Before, you had to make the choice of a small fast ship, a big slow ship. . you had to decide how to make the ship based on how fast you needed it to get there, and how much production capabilities you had, etc. .
now, there's no tough choices involved. simply build the smallest ship possible, game over. blah
hopefully, that isn't true, and if it is, i'd suggest changing it, if at all possible.-connorkimbro

Actually...
The spaceship, from what I have seen on the tech tree and the one screenshot of the SS screen, now consists of about 13 different parts, all of which must be built to launch it. That way it doesn't matter how long it would have taken, as there is no such thing as a small or large SS, they are all identical, it is the first to finish that wins!---Signature under Beta testing---Comment

No its BULLSH!T
america and russia could build the rockets, but they couldn't land on the moon.
it was the race to the moon, not to build the rocket!Last edited by MarkG; September 23, 2001, 04:31.be freeComment

Anyone else feels like this Sn00py fella should be banned from this forum?

No more Bablyonians building a small tin that isnt even space-worthy, thereby winning even tho only 5% of them even survive the trip there...

But that takes ship construction away. All spaceships are now the same.Originally posted by Chris_Nightwing

And I thought ship construction would become more interesting with more different parts and such, something like a 'spaceship workshop'.

I never understood why my spaceship should be forced to return because another civ captured my capital. At least that´s gone, too ..."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

That sucks! First one to launch the spaceship wins? It should be land!
Thats a big error. In civ2 you could build a better ship after someones and land it first. Thats the way it should be.
If this is the way it is going to be I'm disabling spaceships every game..Comment

I never understood in Civ 2 how my spaceship even could return once it had been launched... considering it's an interstellar spaceship travelling at a significant portion of the speed of light, you just don't have the extra fuel needed to decelerate and turn back once you're travelled far enough - and you most certainly wouldn't even consider trying itOriginally posted by lockstep

I agree there needed to be a way of preventing a civilization from winning after its spaceship had been launched, but the explanation was somewhat ridiculous. So I guess it is better just to have the first civ to complete a spaceship to win the game.
I wonder, though, how the Civ 3 plot in this case fits in with the Alpha Centauri one, since there you had a United Nations spaceship instead of national spaceships - but then again, SMAC had Earth more or less destroyed in nuclear war as well, and I don't think that will be a required outcome in Civ 3.Comment
