Seems to me there is a lot more positive feedback than negative, at least off this website and from those who aren't as naive to think that their every wish will be granted...
Regarding how negative fan support will hurt a games sales. Remember Diablo? Ever heard of Diablo2? That game was in design and development for over three years and still came out broken. Most of the "hard-core" fans thought it was a joke but some still played and had fun with how the game WAS and not HOW THEY WANTED IT TO BE. Oh yeah and that game sold over 2 million copies.
Moral: Just because you, "Joe Blow" don't like the game doesn't mean that the "silent majority" won't or don't.

Sorry I thought both Diablo's sucked. I'm not into mindless RPG style hack'n slash games. I like games where you have to think. And I've been on several boards, and non-civ boards and I can tell you the negative complaints are growing. And it all seems to be related to the same similar problems with the game. Like no real editor for scenarios, and game blips. And I agree, no game company should have to live up to "every wish fullfilled" as that is impossible. But they should come as close to that as possible. I read the ideas that were suggested, and Firaxis ignored alot of those great ideas that would've made Civ3 an even better game.
Since when do we stop thriving for perfection? Get the best for our dollar? Anyway thats my opinion based on "play-tested facts".
