Wonder movies

[FrostyBoy]

Darwins Voyage was probably the most beautiful

and I always liked Leonardo's background music

both from civ2 of course.

They were actual movies, put together like a collage, nothing can beat that, nothing!

Scary stuff.

"We must dissent..." Only reason I ever left the movies turned on in SMAC. Well, that and Morgan doing jumping jacks.

Honestly, I think the movies are pure, unnecessary fluff. Don't miss them in the least.

fluff is good =o)

Fluff is nice if you have the hardware capacity for it. I have, so it's ok for me, but I guess some other people are not that keen on it.

I'd rather have the efforts spent on AI algorithms (Soren has done a pretty good job already, but software can always be improved) or graphics that enhance the gameplay in general, like your terrain mod, for example (thanks, by the way).

Jeez, how could I forget the Self-Aware Colony? Actually, I think I did not forget it... I just did not want to remember it!

And, as Sn00py said, fluff is good.

Civ II: Leonardo's.

SMAC: Maritime Control Center.

Most of all, I miss the excellent SMAC'S voiceovers in my Civ sessions.

SMAC: Mechant exchange, Space Elevator

darwin's voyage and all those birds flying that was wonderful.

I also had black screens until i updated the video...i can't remember if i added a new video card.

my fav..is the nuclear blast

That was the original problem. I didn't download it the second time. Then it would not let me download it, so I had to uninstall, later reinstall complete. I just completed the Lighthouse, finally saw a movie.

From SMAC i loved teh Cloudbase Academy, the Self-Aware Colony, and twhichever one had morgan dong jumping-jacks and cussing at Lal ("Get off my land you peacekeeping son-of-a-*****)

SMACs voiceovers when you biuld a base facility or discover a new tech were awesome, pure fluff, but we all love fluff......

Hunter-Seeker Algorithm, and Nethack Terminus. Clinical Immortality (I thin kthat's the one with Morgan doing Jumping Jacks) is great too.

I also kinda wished Civ had the monument type thing from SMAc, where it records all of your firsts (first military unit, first vicotry, etc). However, like SE, it wouldn't fit with the Civ atmopsphere.

On SMAC my favorite ones were:
The supercollider.
And that singularity stuff

On CTP there were one that I liked a lot
A.I. Entity

Personally, the UN and Adam Smith movies from Civ2 are favourites, as are the Space Elevator, Virtual World and Nanofactory movies from SMAC.

hi ,

the main reason that there are no movies is so that they can put the time and money in to the development of the game , .....

however there are some people working on some movies and in about six months there shall be a way to put the movies from civ2 in civ3 , ........aldo not as a firaxis project , just some people who like to make movies in there spare time , .......

have a nice day

[vee4473]

leonardo's workshop, definitely

[simwiz2]

UN is my favorite from civ2. I would always watch it, even after i had seen it a bunch of times.
