    Things i don't like about it.

    1. stacks don't die

    When you attack a stack, only the one unit dies...

    2. city interphase

    not as convenient as civ2

    3. no unit zones of control.

    enemy units can walk right by your units, even if they are on mountains



    and that is just from 5 minutes of play. I am disappointed.

    OH! and 4. no MP

    But I thought that's what people wanted: stacks that don't die?


    2. city interphase
    What is city interphase? (I know what interphase is with regards to the cell cycle but not with regards to Civ3)


    3. no unit zones of control.

    I think only certain advanced fast units like tanks have ZOC now. I don't know if any ancient units have it so that is probably why you haven't seen ZOC effects yet.

      1. Thank god.

      2. Oh well you'll get used to it.

      3. We already know this, you need to construct forts.

      4. Go away, play the game and tell us something useful instead of playing for 5 mins and coming back with ****e...

        Kaak, your disappointments, especially one and three, are simply you being disappointed at more realism - if one infantry regiment attacks a stack of three infantry regiments in real life, the stack doesn't die, why should it in Civ?

        As for the whole ZOC thing...why should someone entrenched on a hill (esp. without artillery) prevent movement? Although I would like to see something called opportunity attacks - but who knows? Maybe those are in the modern era.

              I thought his tone was out of line, especially his so called rebuttal of kaak's fourth point. So much for respect

              1. I think that's a good thing
              2. Interface (Typoe?). I haven't played yet... I just got it now.
              3. ZOC's come later in the game judging from what I read. Also there's supposed to be some kind of consequence for moving in a hostile unit's so called ZOC? I'm don't know. I haven't played yet
              4. A big disappointment but then... we both bought the game anyways. I guess we're just a bunch of saps like that.

                      Things I don't like about it so far?

                      The graphics are really, REALLY bad. This is not civ2 further expanded and defined, this is call to power 3.

                      bleh...

                          Zylka,

                          The graphics are exceptional for this type of game. What were you expecting, turn based Quake 3?

                            tbs Quake 3, good one...

                            I would rather have Firaxis spend 3 years on improving gameplay, then 3 years improving the graphics. That is the problem, especially with console games, nowadays. All these puds care about is "ooh look at the pretty graphics". Graphics should not even be part of a game review. Or at least it shouldn't be weighted in the overall rating as heavily as it is. Lots of people attack the idea of realism using the excuse "gameplay is more important than realism", yet when an awesome game like Civ 3 comes out, those same ***** complain about the graphics. I guess some people just complain no matter what the case may be.

                            As for ZOC:

                            Considering each square in Civ games represents about 1,000 sq miles, I don't think it is inconceivable that an archer unit can walk past a bunch of phalanx soldiers sitting on their ass. I'm all for the ZOC rules in Civ 3. And anyone who says otherwise can take this action: "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, if you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear!"
                            To us, it is the BEAST.
