Markos and Ming: I don't care what you guys say...next Christmas, you're only getting socks from me! And I'll probably rip some holes in them first.
Actually by that time Civ3 might be the game it was supposed to be...and that's without mods.
However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.
Hmmm... socks with holes in them vs Civ III... Hmmm...
Tough choice
Hey! At least your wife can patch the socks!

Yeah, but he better be careful about insulting the socks too much, becuse he could easily get called a whiner. "If you don't want to wear socks with holes in them, then just don't wear them at all!"

"Yin's dead on with his comments about Firaxis not posting anything of content, but rather snide remarks."
The day before the above comment was made - the same day as a similar comment of Yin's, I believe, a Firaxian cleared up a rules quesition in another thread. (Mike B, in "Another look at combat.")
Here's a crow... here's a fork.
On Firaxis posting "snide" comments: Nothing wrong with that. Seems only fair.
I havn't counted, but I think they participate more in the Civfanatics forum. Possibly because there have been no personal insults leveled against them there?
Frankly, if I was a Firaxian, I'd ignore Apolyton. I'd hate to particapate here as someone making $$ from Civ3. All the accusations of non-objectivity I'd recieve would make participation impossible. (All the other sorts of comments I've seen Firaxiians recieve wouldn't help either.) But I'd _want_ to participate... I imagine I'd be reduced to making snide remarks too.

It's a computer game, son. It's just a game. There's a whole big wide world out there, outside of computer games and this forum.
If you feel so crushed and betrayed and PERSONALLY INSULTED by whatever you think is wrong with Civ 3, maybe you're getting in a little too deep. It's only a game...
Geez. I've been absent from this forum for a while, but here I come back and its the same melodrama.
There is no Santa Claus. It's only a game.
Antonin, you're right about everything except Santa Clause. Not believe in Santa Clause! You might as well not believe in fairies.
Units/Buildings/Wonders? Or others
(having Civ3 might aid my half of this discussion...)
correct. in ctp2 you often end up with 2-3 windows...
2. The build menu and city management menu, but the latter has 4 tabs. It can be a bit annoying.
So other than UI issues which are unresolvable in any Civ game...
instead of waiting for a conquest victory, you win earlier after controlling 75% of the land
Open script.slc, add the following lines:
Code:
HandleEvent(BeginTurn) 'Markos_Personal_Victory_Handler' post {
int_t x;
int_t y;
int_t MarkosTiles;
location_t tmpMarkosLoc;
MarkosTiles = 0;
for(x = 0; x < GetMapWidth(); x = x + 1){
for(y = 0; y < GetMapHeight(); y = y + 1){
makelocation(x,y,tmpMarkosLoc);
if(CellOwner(tmpMarkosLoc) == 1){
MarkosTiles = MarkosTiles + 1;
}
}
}
if(MarkosTiles >= 3*GetMapWidth()*GetMapHeight()/4){
GameOver(1,1);
}
}
And that folks, is modding.

Yah. Right.
Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy? "I don't believe in giving scripting languages because the only additional power they give users is the power to create bugs." - Mike Breitkreutz, Firaxis
I'm surprised that no one has brought up the fact that yin used to be the moderator of this forum (Civ3-General) until he got "fired" by Markos about a year ago. Still some bad feelings remain from that situation.
"Nothing is owed for volunteering, nor is anything to be expected except perhaps for a thank you if the job was well served."
Hence the word of "might" which implies possibility to an event. Whereas your thought process implies of only one occurrence, and that sure is hell ain't having Civ3 becoming the game it is supposed to be. I'll go with my thought process, which leaves a window open to possibilities, and you can go with your thought process, "no chance in hell".
Seriously, though, I don't see why Firaxis wouldn't want to exploit more money out of Civ3. In exploiting more money out of Civ3, Civ3 has a chance of becoming the game it was supposed to be. IMO, I see Firaxis trying to exploit more money out of Civ3 within the year, which is completely understandable for a company to do. Again, I'll go back to my word usage of "might", because as of right now Civ3 = might and only time can tell what might will equal.
Yes, I realize what I jus said probably made very little sense.
However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man?
