Anyone remember civ1 winning educational game of the year award?
I personally think they blew it completely.
For all the talk about 'in the real world' this, that, or the other thing... this "GAME" is no longer trying to model the real world.
Perhaps, if they had more time and were allowed to make it a 2 cd game it could have been stupendous!! How many hours of deliberation were spent on what to include and what not to because it had to fit on 1 cd.
But... we are stuck with a game where the programmers are more worried about we, the humans, taking advantage of thier precious 'ai'. I'm certain it will look good on thier resumes when it says "I helped create an unbeatable game engine."
THAT is thier priority. Too bad they didn't TRY to make an educational game of the year.
