Thank You Firaxis!

I find most gamming companies resort to MP as a cheap way of saying the game has "Replay Value".

SP is the only way to go IMHO. That shows effort, not some slapped togther piece of junk like most games today.

I'm whining about Civ3 here however. Civ3 has a really nice SP most other games lack these days.

so you consider making the AI cheat more took skill and genius? i'm pretty sure if you took the Red Alert 2 AI and started it with an extra 20 tanks and some buildings it would pose a decent threat to a human player. after a while, the CIV ai can't beat a human (the warmonger way), despite the rampant cheating.

i honestly stopped playing civ3 recently (poly is too fun to stop ) because i'm tired of beating the piss out of the AI as i watch it try to cheat it's way out of it's fate. empty cities all of a sudden have a large garrison, the romans have more tanks than me the SECOND they discover motorized transportation, etc.

there's always a point where the AI becomes predictable, and beatable in any case. MP is the only solution.

I don't think this game is even close enough to being balanced enough for MP. Starting locations can and probably WILL doom you in MP.

I think Firaxis may give us v1.22f with MP on Friday.

Now that IS wishful thinking!

No need to loose one's optimism, is there Wittlich.

Grrr!! ?

Did you know that addressing you with proper punctuation is an adventure? This isn't my real question.

My real question is how are you going to play MP with that telegraph line you call an internet connection?

[Grrr]

We do have 120 computers with Civ3 installed on them at school. I didn't install it .

I held a tournament last week with 35 people playing. Does that answer your question.

Ahhh. Civ continues it's time honoured role in education.
