Apparently there are a number of Civ III designers, like Libertarian, on these boards. Why else would people personally attack/insult the thread starter? I'd hate to think they were petty, childish buttheads.

yeah, count me in as a designer.

Granted......I played the game. Its pure false glory. The AI cheats and the notion that aircraft cant sink trime' is pure Dung

'trime' is trireme? are you sure you played the game?

Who cares what it is

Its just as stupid as the other early ships.

Well maybe the civ3 AI is dastardly like YOU guys are, but what about me? Spending countless hours on civ2 as the egyptians just trying to keep the Babylonians alive while the Germans pound away at their cities...valiantly defending the final Aztec city against the American onslaught with a couple of legions and a phalanx in a well-placed fort, ensuring their survival until the end of the game...

I'm NICE to the AI! Well...most of the AI. Now sometimes the AI forces me to destroy it pathetically. I don't like having to destroy my former allies because they placed a city in MY territory (something I would NEVER do to them!).

Anyway, I think there's a very simple solution to my problem, but in solving my problem it would make the game less of a challenge to MOST of the other civ3 players. My problem would be solved by making terrain features dictate political boundaries (kinda like real life). Mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and other such things would block or greatly slow culture progression, and wide open spaces would greatly hasten it. But what's good for me isn't good for everyone, so I'm not too upset.

Without even reading the whole post, I just one thing to say:

Yer a whinie.

I am a big fan of Civ 2 and I was really looking forward to Civ 3.
But now playing at regent level and not on Chiefstain level I noticed lots of bugs with dissapoint me...
I hope a patch makes it better.

Oh yes, it is. Just adjust the food-output so it never produces any surplus. Then go ahead and build settlers and workers until the city disappears altogether.

I can point out 100 other defects in the game that will have people returning it to the store 30 days from now.

Ha. For every 100 defects you say "exist" in Civ3. I could find 5 times a many in CTP (Call to Poo)!

PBEM and MP. Yah works great in CTP2! Too bad CTP is only 1/2 a game. The only way it can be fun is via PBEM or MP! Those games just aren't playable in single player. Believe me I've tried.
CTP1 and 2 now occupy the illustrious position of lying next to the cat box in my basement. In my opinion, that's too good for them.

[Peter Triggs]

CTP is a far better game than most of you losers would like to admit.

Here's something that a lot of you guys might find a bit surprising, I know it sure shocked me. In terms of number of posts what's the most popular forum on this site? Off Topic loses out to AC Multiplaying, but that in turn is just behind, wait for it, CTP Multiplaying. I've never played a multiplayer game and it looks like I've missed out on something. If the CTP multiplayer version wasn't good, there wouldn't be so many people playing it.

Unless some good cheats appear, the game is too hard for some to play

Well, personally, yes, the game is hard, but that's why I play on chiefton . That doesn't make it a bad game -- you just may not be able to (having been a diety player in Civ 2) skip right to diety in Civ 3. If you mean that Chiefton is too hard, well, that's the fun of the game -- being challenged.

Well i usually played CIV2 in King or Emperor (althought in MP many times only with humans i played Deity) and i have no problem beating CIV3 at regent level. My next game will be in monarch.

I wouldn't mind that i (we) couldn't at all beat the AI in Chieftain even with the production penalty the AI gets. Actually i dream the day a game like that comes out.

[History049]

Even chiefton is too hard for me. So yes, cheats are needed for a small percentage of us.

Hey Simpleton, you certainly do live up to your name. I bet you never downloaded the patches for CTP. I also reckon that you have never played ctp with wes's med mod. As I said in an earlier post I hated CTP at first but when my civ2 disc broke I was forced to play. With the mods and patches it is a much deeper game than even civ3, and single player also becomes a real challenge. Hey Saddam I agree with all you said, some people just haven't given the game a chance, the majority of whom have barely played it.

On the other hand CTP2 is absolutely crap, even with the mods it still sucks.

Right now I am into civ3, but there are so many bugs. The worst one being the gold per turn. It is an unbelievably assenine flaw. For you who want to cheat just demand 100000000 per turn from the AI, keep hitting the button and eventually they will agree. I could not beleive it was true at first, but sure as day is day it works.

Nuke those trimes.
