I ve always been abig sid meier's fan. I ve played everything and spent hundred hours on civ 2 over the years...over 5-6 years.
My expectations for civ 3 were VERY VERY high...I was really thrilled when I saw it in the store but now.-..after 3 days of intense playing I am kicking myself for spending so much money on such a waste of time.
the game just plainly sucks... even at the lowest levels the Ai cheats horribly, and all the enemies are incredibly aggressive...if you are under attack you will see every single one of your cities in a small amount of time by incredible armies coming from nowhere... the editor sucks, the changes in gameplay suck, diplomacy is worse than civ 2, the music is annoying, and the game lost all the emotion that civ 2 had (I really really liked the movies of the wonders and the big emphasis on them)..the game is unbalanced, dull, and...and this is the worse it is horribly slow... and I was thinking about civ 2 as slow between turns...this takes up to one minute!!! (pentium 3 600, 256mb ram)
also they took out fundamentalism (they say it was unbalancing...just change it!) and the option to play the world map with all civs starting from their real starting location...
as a long time civ 2 fan this hurts a bit =)
