Advance Copy Review

[Falconius]

This dude at this site:

www.civfanatics.com (Six or seven paragraphs down)

received an advance copy and posted a quick review.

Don't get too excited, though. The review is short and doesn't say anything new about the game. But he does give it a good review.

DUDE hes gonna get sued or something.. firaxis explicitly said nothing is to be released about advanced copies until the 22nd

[Akron]

Interesting, but not too helpful. If I had the game, I would say something about the new resource and culture systems, other than that they exist.

[Skanky Burns]

Like Akron said, the review didnt give any new info out, other than the AI is harder than Civ 2 (or the guys incompetant )

[Falconius]

I know. I really wish he'd say something like why it was so tough.

Did the AI do anything surprising? What about the game did he like best? What did he like least and why? Was there anything about the game he didn't expect?

We need a real reviewer to do a real review.

The AI in CIV2 was even not as good as civ1. I hope civ3 will back to track as a sid game.

[Shadowstrike]

Civ1 of course had other problems, especially with blatent AI cheating, and being allowed to build improvements over ocean... hehe.... I once built an ocean spannign one with a horde of settlers and sails, and it was 500 AD!

[Skanky Burns]

Maybe he couldnt remember that the 'B' key is used to build a new city

Shadowstrike: Do you mean building roads on the ocean??
I did that in colonization, but using the cheat menu, didnt even bother giving my pioneers a boat to stand on

I'm sorry Mars, I just can't resist it. You know why!

You're an idiot! But you have other qualities, like being able to take on cars (something only really large Moose can do in Maine)

Question, though, are these advanced copies full versions? Like do they include, rulebook, shiny box, etc...?

it depends

in the case ctp1, we got simply cd's. for ctp2 we got the full set
