Bump - for anyone interested

BlueHooHoo: I'm a graphic designer and I am really looking forward to editing the graphics, have you looked at the editor yet? are there graphic files you can just open up like in Civ2? If so, what formats are they?

(wanna send them to me so I can edit? )

Solver, I hope Civ3 will be good for you, otherwise you'll be one angry dude.

It's a big step to upgrade your monitor for a game, I can understand a graphics card or something, but a monitor can be a lot of money.

ROFL!!

Umm...

17" monitor = <$150
GeForce2 = >$150
GeForce3 = >$350

You sure a monitor costs more than a video card?

Glad to see Solver is seeing more of his desktop now.

October 26th, 1995 is when my first home computer was bought, and having the same monitor that I spoke about in my 800x600 threads. Today it's 6 year anniversary for my computer and, especially, monitor!

Thanks Blue for the info.

If Blue makes it back to this thread I'd like to hear about the editor. But one simply question, are there airbases (like Civ2)?

::gasp!::

I sure hope the option is there, because otherwise I won't bother with the world map, and playing on the Earth is one of my faviorate things to do. I mean, if the Russians are in Australia, the Japanese in South America and the French in China, you might as well just play a random map. No pre-set starting points would, IMHO, just throw the entire purpose of having an Earth map out the window.

Surely Firaxis didn't forget this.....

Ozy, where I live, monitors are the most expensive, for a good one, $1000 +

[Asesino_Virtual]

Geeze, didn't know they had folks living in Antarctica.

Hmm, have you tried online? There are places where you can buy a monitor online for roughly around the price I quoted. Of course the prices are in US dollars so that may be a problem for some.

Posting the manual is perhaps not legal; yet you might email a copy to Markos or Yin, who could then answer our questions in the forum.

And you might send us a few screenshots from your game!

Why Markos or Yin ?

Markos isn't very keen on answering questions
And yin will for sure give a very pessimistic answer.

you'd better mail the manual to the former president of the official apolyton realistic civers club ! Hey, that's me

[FrostyBoy]

I'd actually like a pessimistic answer, as long as it's not exaggerated


so, yin is good for something then.

Dont say that too loud, Yin has his spies everywhere, someone will hear

I think BlueHooHoo is either really interested in Civ 3, cant stop playing to answer our posts, or the Firaxian Information Police have found his secret hideout and taken him away for questioning...

If not, id still like to hear about ICBMs
