Thumbs up to Firaxis!

[Faboba]

We've had enough threads about small negative points so how about small positive points.

My first I think will have to be;

for the units being fully colour co-ordinated. It will really add to the atmosphere.

Thank you Firaxis for putting so much more emphasis on diplomacy and trade! ...and thank you for giving civilizations real reasons for going to war!

[The diplomat]

Thanks Firaxis for the improved graphics, the super cool unit animations.

But most of all, thanks for the new concepts and the emphasis on fun. Super thanks for diplomacy, trade, culture, and ressources!

[Faboba]

for shipping the game fully customisable

[Earthling7]

for adding national identity (culture) to the game

[BLackraven42]

For allowing 16 civs in one game

[sekong]

My special thanks for bring in the culture concept, and more peaceful options to win the game. Culture winning is a interesting concept, I wish it means fun game and faster game

Pink colored French units.

For... err... well, for making another sequel to the serie.

[Sirotnikov]

For making the best game ever for the 3rd time!
For giving me more excuses to miss sleep (Civ 2 excuse is getting old with my folks)
For creating an immersive game
For giving mroe ways to win
For giving economy and resources and culture their proper palce
For many things which I can't put at once

What I'm not sure of
= Greater Diplomacy (we need more options to influence people politically - tell them to do something, not just open war)
= Better significance for intelligence
= Better significance for spy and ocommando actions

( for unique civs)

[Akron]

for the great everything!

[Sarxis]

Thank you for not diverging from the foundational concepts of CivII

[HalfLotus]

Just wanted to convey my optimism. Down with Civ3 pessimists...you will eat your words on Oct 30!

[d_dudy]

to westlake for porting the game to mac!!!!!!!

it is westlake, isn't it?

[Crouchback]

for shipping the game in the UK on the same day as the US, whatever the pessimists at Infogrames might say.
