Dammit all those punctuation errors were pissing me off!

Time and time again I've had to put up with the AI's poor use of the English language!!! Grrrr....

But no more!!

Yippeee!!

Hey, at least they fixed Air Superiority... look on the bright side.

Overall though, if you have a car with wheels on only one side of it, adding a spare tire isn't all the useful really though, is it?

I get too bored of the game to even reach a point where I get Jets. They even made it easier to assimilate cities through culture!!!! All this ****ing complaining about how a captured city reverts back and how military is useless and they make culture even more powerful!!! Are they ****ing stupid? I can't take it anymore. I'm done with this game. 10 years of playing this game and I have never been more disappointed in my life. Where the **** was the combat modification? Where the **** was the tech change so that the science rate is actualy useful!!!

Hang on a second,

The readme.txt says that the AI cultural superiority has been REDUCED, and therefore it will be harder for the AI to capture cities... While for th eplayer it will be 'slightly easier'...

Out of curiousity, why did you start a new thread for this?

I'm disappointed that they just didn't add the "Don't be ****" checkbox to the editor.

That would have fixed everything... but oh no, Firaxis knows best...

*sigh*

So, whatcha reckon's going to be in Civ4?

**CapTVK** · December 5, 2001, 13:32

So who of you actually thought that there would be scenario and MP support included in the patch?

Come on, don't be a stranger....raise your hands

Guess this means you'll be paying for scen and MP, not once, but twice! Excuse while I'll hold my breath for the 'super duper - scenario and MP included- gold' edition, to be exclusively released somewhere far into next year, a few months after the translated versions have been released.

The Civ3 apologists will probably keep jabbering about this being a good thing. Yeah sure, whatever...

plonk.

Nice post there moron, I mean Magaha. I can call you a moron right? I mean Infogrames isn't going to sic their attorneys on me? In fact I would welcome that. That would be a nice chance to just really ****ing ruin their corporation. Also, thanks for responding to what I said by reall refuting my statements. Simply stunning! Ladies and gentlemen, the great Firaxian Dave Magaha!

That's a Derek Smart move, Dan. Does this mean I'm on your ignore list?

My main interest for Civ3 is based on scenarios and MP which I enjoy playing very much in Civ2. Also the reason why I haven't looked into Civ3 yet. Civ3 interests me, but the threshold for me to play hasn't been reached, yet.

The patch solves a lot of bugs and minor issues for SP. The news on the scen and MP side. Is still unknown at the time.

And please, don't fall to Derek's level.

**volcanohead** · December 5, 2001, 13:42

EnigmaticGod, it's you who's the moron.

There's a lot of people who have been criticising the game in a civil way (yin26, Venger) and receiving a lot of flak from people telling them to not play or post if they don't like it. This is dumb because those two want the game to be good...

You on the other hand are a silly, dumb little boy who really isn't contributing anything. Alienating the people who can help you is not going to get you the changes we want!

Hey Enigmatic, that rash has you in a pretty bad mood.
Why don't you go change your diaper? Maybe it will help.

I mean seriously, what have they really done with this patch? Sure, they fixed alot of bugs, but bugs weren't really the problem for this game. Civ3's problem is gameplay related. And they only made things worse by making it now 40 turns for max amount of science turns. Great, now republic will take 40 turns intead of 32 no matter what the tax rate. As if techs didn't take long enough already. People are going to mod this thing like crazy, kind of like with CTP. Now maybe that's ok for SP, but for MP? How can you have an MP game that has no real standard? I guess after reading the patch update all I can say is this...**** you Firaxis and you too Infogrames.

I was going to start a thread "How Quickly Will the Whiners Start Whining About the Patch?", but I guess you beat me to it. The patch isn't even out yet...geez...

You're taking this this a bit too seriously. It's a game. You didnt have to buy it and you don't have to go on playing it if you don't want to.

Maybe the problem is you, friend. It sounds like the SP TBS empire-building thing is just no longer your cup of tea. But what did you expect when you bought it???

That's OK, though.

If you don't like the game, don't play it. Sell it and move on. There's a big, wonderful world out there full of other computer games and even other areas of entertainment.

**Matte979** · December 5, 2001, 13:44

Chill man.. You need to take some time off.

Its just a game. Either you like it or you do not like it. Go play something else and leave us that like this game to complain about relevant stuff. This is getting plain silly.

I was very nice at one point, but the time for civility has ended. You can't be nice with these people, it just doesn't work. As soon as you say "nice patch" they're going to say "Thanks, enjoy the game. we'll see you when civ4 comes out". And this also bring up another interesting point. Notice the people who love the game, all new players to apolyton. Notice who most the people are who hate the game? People who have been at apolyton for years. It just goes to show that Firaxis didn't have the hardcore gamer in mind, rather they built this for the casual lets kill some time gamer. Is that a bad thing? Well lets just see how long Civ3 is popular for. Somehow I don't think the "Lets kill some time" gamers are going to be around 6 months from now.

**volcanohead** · December 5, 2001, 13:53

That's fine, but do you really think calling Dan 'maggot' is actually going to help?
