+the editor...at least we got a good world map, rules and civilisation placements.

Kitten reads to title of the thread...I still play from time to time, but not as much by far as I expected

Hi Kitten - I would also like to point out that when you compare Civ2's performance to Civ3's you'll be more than convinced that Civ2 is still superior in game speed and late game tedium. And the reason being is because less graphics & animation, not as much for the AI or the Game Data to chew on. I feel that Civ3 has far too much animation and dazzling special effects that in late game tedium means squat to the hardcore player - we could've gotten a higher performing game engine from Civ3 if alot of the graphic-hype was minimized - not to mention the fact that it's really difficult (although I haven't tried personally) to design animated units and leader heads. Just speculating though.

Charles.
