what? No MP yet?

[faded glory]

I see all these Civ3 ad's all over TV. Yet there is still no mp(or atleast i havent seen yet). Whats going on? You guys at firaxis arent going to pull a Crap-tiv-sion on us?

[Immortal Wombat]

Ah, but "Crap-ti-vision" gave us a scenario editor, and SLIC.

[faded glory]

ya but I see a Civ3 ad on TV every commercial break now. Surely they should slow down markettin and start working on MP...right?

[Immortal Wombat]

Market now, get as many sales as possible, then when the MP X-pack comes along, even more sales. So they have sold both products more.

Wierd though, I have never seen an advert for Civ3.
In fact, i haven't seen any PC game advertised very much at all.

[ColdWizard]

i've not seen any ads either. as for MP i don't expect it to come out until may at the earliest (assuming that it even comes out at all)

[Dauphin]

Until MP is a possibility I have given up playing the game.

Playing AI opponents is tedious.

[H Tower]

what tv station do you watch FG? i haven't seen a single commercial

[TinCow]

I havent seen that many ads for Civ 3, but I have seen some. I think they've all been on cable. The only other PC game I've ever seen advertised was Diablo 2. Why do consoles get all the air time?

[faded glory]

History and Discovery channels. Saw one on NBC too

History Channel

Their ads are on the History Channel.

I think that if you tailor the ad to that channel, it can be very effective.

The best channel to advertise on would be Discovery Civilization - anyone who watches that channel would love to play civ.
