Patch Update

The_Aussie_Lurker: You are overlooking the true killer -- Moving masses of units around one at a time. Honestly, man, there's a difference between wasting your time playing computer games (but being entertained) and simply wasting your time.

You'll see, unfortunately.

Civ2 combat was more realistic, but IMO Sid wanted to bring back some of that annoying Civ1 randomness. I'm sure they didn't drop hp/fp w/o a major debate on it so they must have had some reason(s) for it, I just don't know it.

so if they add the possibility to group them in a patch, you will start playing it again

Yin,

What are you, on a crusade or something?

As I understand it, you hate the game. Surely, therefore, you're not playing it. You've already spouted off a hundred times about how much you hate it (as if anyone cares). You've launched a bazillion cry baby threads that have been summarily closed.

By hanging around here and beating your dead horse, you're morphing into a troll. A troll, by definition, never has anything new to say, but just likes to start trouble.

Why don't you find a game you like? (I'm sure if you wrote your own, it would be perfect in every way.) Then go find that game's board and become a valuable contributor.

Or else just shut up, mkay?

As you understand it is the keywords here,
you don't......

You could put it like this, when you've waited 5 years for your favorite band to release their next album you get pretty disappointed when you get your hands on it and realize it's mostly crap with a few good tunes.
That is Civ3 to the bone and by complaining on this forum we try to make them rectify the critical shortcomings of Civ3.

It's somewhat harder to patch a music CD than a game....

Okay.

First of all, I have no complaint about complaining. If my favorite band puts out an album that I don't like, I complain like anyone else. However. I do not consume all my time — not to mention all of everyone else's time — with my complaints. Stating them. Restating them. Stating them again and again and again. Bringing them up at the dinner table. Plastering my complaints on every wall throughout the house. Bending every conversation on whatever topic to be about my complaints. Starting conversations out of the clear blue, every one of them complaining about the band.

I don't do that.

Nor do I say that the band members are lazy, worthless morons who are incapable of producing good music. Nor do I blame their producers, nor their managers, nor their other fans. Because, you see, it might just be possible that there are OTHER people out there who like the new album just fine. There might be other people who, not liking the new album, still manage to get on with their lives and would sooner not hear me go on and on about my obsession. In other words, I understand that my opinion is not the only one, and is not so all-fired important that every living person must hear it a hundred times.

Look over this forum about five pages deep. Redundancy heaped upon redundancy. Viscious attacks on people (as opposed to software) at Firaxis. Floods and floods of complaints, gripes, whines and bi+ching. And in nearly every case, either the topic has been covered to death — there was a whole thread, locked at the top, devoted to bug reports and complaints that was sent off to Firaxis — or else the topic is exactly the same as a topic that was covered only days — sometimes hours! — before.

That's crazy. It's just plain shortsighted, immature, and pointless. If you complain to a vendor, you stand a chance of being heard. But if you become a Chihuahua, biting at his heels without ever stopping for breath, you're likely to be viewed as a pest.

I've already pointed out how some complainers, like Venger for example, are complaining properly. I respect them for what they are doing. I do not respect, and I refuse to respect, those who carry what they're doing to absurdity.

Get it?

Libertarian - I was here when CtP came out and yin was doing the same thing then. I'll be here when CivIV comes out, and I'm sure he'll be quite vocal with his opinion then, too.

Oh, and now that someone has been compared to a Nazi and the comparison noted, I believe that that kills this thread, right?

[Dire Wolf]

Wow, I never realised that the Civ community was so immature...

I just wish he would lay-off the purile personal attacks.....

A shame really, personal attacks are purely done to belittle anothers point of view, which hardly portrays you as someone who has concidered all the points before making your argument.

...and if he was face to face with whoever he was debating with, some of his comments would certainly ellicit a painful and explosive response.
