    Should Firaxis now work on Patches or an XP???

    Right, I saw a thread earlier reffering to ideas for 1.18, Well I was thinking that now might the time to look at producing an XP...

    I think most of people minor problems (well, some of us regarded them as major but i mean minor in a programming sense) have been fixed, and I cant see loads left to do with Patches.

    But there are Some Major things that could go into an XP that perhaps it's time for Firaxis to start...

    Although I payed the full price for the Original , I'd be Happy to pay another £15-£20 for an XP with some great new features..

    Multiplayer .. More Techs,Units and Improvements spring to mind...

    when the xp is out, I will probably go download it somewhere, because it is not worth the $$$ to buy. This is my opinion right now. If they put out a few more patches, and take good care of the game itself, I might change my mind.

      Considering that the game as is constitutes nothing more than a glorified BETA, I'd vote for actually fixing it first. Of course, it won't work that way. Expect to pay more money soon for BETA+.

      Your only hope to get your money's worth is to expect the true release of Civ3 late this year. Yes, by then a decent game might have been produced.

        Gee... the last time somebody did a poll on "getting your money's worth".. it would seem that a majority of the people would disagree with you.

            Yeah, many people are easily pleased. If you are an easily pleased person, buy the beta. I've said that from Day 1.

              And some people are never pleased...
              I get enjoyment from the game. Is it perfect... no. Does it need work... sure... and they are doing it... yes.
              So why should I wait. I've bought many more games that have given me less value for my money.

                With standards like that, even Firaxis can deliver!

                By the way, I *am* pleased with SimGolf. A game Sid actually made.

                  I REFUSE REFUSE REFUSE to buy an expansion pack if the original game is not sufficiently patched. That means it has to have a better map editor which will HAVE to include civ-specific player starting locations. If they release an expansion before this is done, then I know it will be have to be something coming out of someone's arse.

                    IMHO, they should patch in the editor they're working on before an XP

                      It depends, of course, on how much Firaxis are prepared to release in a free patch as opposed to a pay-for XP.

                      Given that we'll likely have to pay extra for Multiplayer and proper scenario support (with events) then I suppose I must reluctantly back an XP at this point, since I see little more mileage in small patches.

                      But I'm not sure we shouldn't have had these things in the first place, and included in the price, as Yin keeps on (and on and on ) reminding us, and so ought by rights to have them in a free mega-patch.

                        I think Yin is talking out of his arse, Civ III has problems sure, it's not PERFECT but I'm very satisfied with the game especially folllowing the patches. Firaxis have fixed nearly every minor problem in the game IMO, and i feel it's now the time to start rolling some big features into an XP.

                        As ming says, Some people are never pleased, and I'm not usually a 'whine at the whiners' type either.

                              What was that you said once, about not attacking people unless they attack you first? I guess that attitude doesn't fit the mood of the day.

                              PS, Sorry, but just for that you are now on my ignore list.
