Something is missing from Civ3 (this is not another pro-MP thread)
After reviewing the newest selection of screenshots and the preview video from pre-purchasing the game, I realized that Civ3 is missing alot of the art that made Civ2's environment so enjoyable.
In the video, it is stated that "we took out all art that was in the game for art's sake" or something like that. Also, in one of the screen shots, Delhi has been captured, but all that pops up is a little text screen in the corner saying something like "We are victorious again, shall we assign a governor or raze the city." I really miss the screens and pictures that would pop up that portrayed an army marching or the "built a city" picture. Even though this and other art is useless, it makes the game "pretty" and actually makes the game more enjoyable. In Civ2 it helped re-enforce the idea that I was leading a group of people, not merely building cities and improvements to make a set of numbers rize to acceptable levels. I am not sure if City View is in the game or not, but that also helped to make the game more interesting. Thats just what I think. Peace mo fo's.
In addition to this, did anyone else find that Activision's use of the creators of the game as civilization's leaders in CTP, incredibly lame? That pushed me over the edge, and I never played that game again.
