Do you have a monitor with 1024x768 res. or better for civ 3?

Both Medmod 1.1 and Apolyton Pack 1.2 provide different ways of improving CtP2. Personally I think the AI is stronger in Medmod because it defends its cities very well. Take one of the doomsayers up on their offer to give you their copy of the game for free. Immediately load one of the Apolyton mods and you may be pleasantly surprised.

The box says 1024x768 SVGA monitor, but I never managed to get it work past 800x600 (and it's really dark at that resolution).

At 13", 1024x768 is not a good idea anyways, so I'll have to upgrade. I'll take my sweet time and get a 21" since I'm waiting for multiplayer.

My says: 1024×768 XGA
I'm geting Samsung 959NF end of this month so no worry.

My PC can handle 1024x768... but I may be upgrading my system anyway, my mobo is shat and sound doesn't work properly.

CTP2 MedMod is cool But it's still built on an incredibly boring game. IOW, even with MedMod it's only fun if your really BORED. And I seriously doubt you'll be able to get THAT bored with Civ3 to play.
(Altough it is good to play CTP2 for a bit just so you can fully appreciate how great Sid games are, my SMAC addiction got redoubled after a short interlude playing CTP2)


Btw, you'd have to be awfully sadistic to want to PAY someone to play CTP2....

My god, how did I stray so far off topic

21" and proud of it

[Fidel]

15' at work and dell 600Mhz laptop for pissing my girl of at home and making my business trips less boring....

[Adagio]

Even my old 15" can handle it, I have a 17" and uses a desktop screen resolution 1280x1024, so this wont be a problem for me

[Solver]

This is most painful for me as well. As I see, I'm not the only one wanting 800x600. Wish the requirement would be 1024x768. Why not give it to us...

[Alex]

Well, my 15" monitor is surely capable of 1024x768 but, at least on Windows, it makes for really small fonts (yes, I know I can change that et al., but 800x600 seems more natural to me). So I´m with Solver... there should be an option for 8x6.

But, since that option won´t be available, well, sorry for you, Solver...

(please, please, please, this is just a joke, no offense intended to anybody in the whole world... I don´t want to start another round of insults and flaming )

Lovely 17" glory... flat Trinitron and stuff. I usually work in 1280x960 and it's a beauty. Hey, I was using 1024x768 in 1994!

[ColdWizard]

no upgrade for me, my laptop runs 1024x768

[Tventano]

1600 x 1200 enough?

[Slax]

Interesting. About 10% currently need to upgrade. And this from the "computer savvy" online civ fanatics. Although, a small portion, how do think this will translate to the general computer game buying public?

Is this the opposite effect as the "MP and modification would be less used by the general public" debate?

[Crouchback]

1024x768 is my normal res, but with an 8mb gfx card I may have problems running DirectX 8.0a. It runs okay on Need for Speed III, so I'm hoping.
