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

[Akron]

Just wondering how many people will need to upgrade to meet the 1024x768 res. requirement.

[Sarxis]

Geez yes!!

[Jaybe]

Do I have a GOOD 17" monitor? Yes, sure I do (but it's on a Mac)!
And I am impatient. I want to get started on the game soonest, NOT when MP is coming out (I won't be playing MP).
So I voted NO.

I am assuming I'll be purchasing a Wintel machine right at about Civ-Day. In which case I will get a 17" monitor with it.

In the last 20 years, this will make the 3rd time that I've spent $1000+ on a bleepin game machine. At least I know where my priorities are.

While I'm at it, I'll probably get CtP2, just to see what it is/was like. Anyone have anything to contribute regarding the Apolyton Pack 1.2? Does it really help out the 'militarily inept' AI??

bah! who doesn't!

Jaybe!!

I am dead serious about this- do not BUY CtP2! I will GIVE you my copy.

If interested, I will mail it to you. I don't want you wasting your money.

I'll PAY YOU to take my CTP copy ...yes, it sucked THAT bad!

I forgot just how bad the AI was in CtP, as i have only played CtP by multiplayer PBEM since about the second month i had it. It shows a lot about my faith in Civ3 that i will buy it immediately rather than wait until multiplayer comes out.

Of course, i forgot about the video card being responsible for the resolution So there's hope for me yet

my gaming machine: 1600x1200 @ 75hz max
my laptop: 1024x768
my old PII 266: 1280x1024 @ 65hz ( <--and i got this monitor for $15!!!)
my still working AMD-486dx: 800x600 @60hz (<-- and i got this monitor was for free!)

EDIT: no more "M"

[Chuckles]

Of course I do. 10x7 is the minumum man. Higher if the game text isn't too small.

I have a Gateway Destination 33'' Tv/Monitor with a 15'' normal monitor daisychained to it for 'close up' stuff.

I don't think I need to worry.

FYI: a little discussion going on here:

about this.

[Simpleton]

I'm gettin a whole new system with a 19" monitor. I'm sure it will be able to run at that res.

[ixnay]

Heck yes! I've got a good 17 incher.

I am dead serious about this- do not BUY CtP2! I will GIVE you my copy.

I'll do better, i'll send you a copy of CtP1, AND CtP2 for FREE, i'll even pay shipping and handleing. i need the extra slot in my cd binder. (yes, they share a slot right now. why not? it's the same crap )

edit: looks like all the people that were complaining about resolution were in the extremely vocal minority. i havn't heard about a monitor that couldn't support the higher resolutions for YEARS, come on, you (as of now, 3) people SERIOUSLY need to get your act together and upgrade. not for civ's sake alone, but because you're in the freaking stone age.

I really hope that when you start up the game it snaps into 1024 x 768 mode, because my PC can go into that resolution but sometimes cant handel it. What ever happened to the Civ 1 style?
