  • Firaxis' "Real" plans for Civ3 multiplayer

    It appears that Civ3 won't be shipping with multiplayer. Speculate on what kinds of interesting plans Firaxis has for multiplayer after the release.

    1. After purchase, civ3 box kidnaps you at night and takes you to a huge arena, where you will fight to the death with other hapless civ3 players. Those playing the hacked version will be fed to lions.

    2. Firaxis introduces "virtual" multiplayer. Use your imagination to pretend that you can add other players from around the world to the game.

    3. Firaxis staff actually controls all computer opponents in single-player game without letting anyone know. You'll wonder why the computer is so darned hard on Diety level.

    4. Multiplayer is included, but unfortunately it forces you to play Age of Empires.

    5. Game ships with hypnotic/pornographic materials so you forget about/don't care about multiplayer

    6. You download the multiplayer patch, but it erases your hard drive and displays the message "h4w h4w! j00 h4v3 b33n hax0r3d by N4p0l30n!" (ah, leetspeak)

    7. Instructions on multiplayer read "start a game and a civ. Take one turn. Let your friend take a turn. Continue until game is over"

    8. When you start game, it connects to the internet and something called "Civ3 Massively Multiplayer Strategy Game Server"

    9. Firaxis tries to pass Civnet off as Civ3

    10. A jewel box with the words "Multiplayer add-on" on the label. When you open the box, the CD has the words "Sucker!" printed on it.

      Got to love number seven.
      The eagle soars and flies in peace and casts its shadow wide Across the land, across the seas, across the far-flung skies. The foolish think the eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel. The eagle's wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel. So be warned, you would-be hunters, attack it and you die, For the eagle stands for freedom, and that will always fly.

      Darkness makes the sunlight so bright that our eyes blur with tears. Challenges remind us that we are capable of great things. Misery sharpens the edges of our joy. Life is hard. It is supposed to be.

            I like number 4. This would be a way for Sid to include the other original Civ designer/developer, Brian Reynolds, who now designs AOE/AOK/etc.

                        Number 7 is classic!

                          I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                            If number 5 was true, then I could forgive Firaxis.

                              something nice to cheer us up while waiting for the real thing.

                              Oh well.

                              Great work
