Why do I want PTW?

[MyOlde]

I know a lot of you are keen for multiplayer. I'll never play MP. Do I want PTW then? Why?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes. I do not play MP either, but new civs, new units and if you come to the forums, you will not be able to have any appreciation for much of the dialog without it. People will be talking about vikings and such.

I'm not particularly interested in multiplayer either, but the new civs and units, plus whatever other tweaks they've snuck in, are enough to catch my interest. With how much I play, the extra cost per hour for the new version will be essentially nothing.

I _might_ play MP with my wife, but for me, it's all about new civs, especially new industrious civs. Damn, I wish I'd skipped those when I started playing.

Never played anything on multiplayer to date so I dont know if Ill do so with PTW, Ill still buy it to stay with the plot same as others have said.

Hm.

- Eight new civs.
- Enhanced Scenario Editor.
- New map features like outposts, radar towers and airfields.
- New guerilla and medieval infantry units.
- New wonders and new city improvements.
- Updated interface improvements (auto bombard, rally points, stacked movement and a new espionage interface).

Sounds good enough for me.

[MyOlde]

Okay, you sold me!

Thanks

I'll buy it as soon as events, and real pre-set diplomacy, are build in

PtW is a slow-moving RtS if I understand it right.

The biggest fear I have is that PtW will be too crude. Like Tiberian Sun instead of Brood Wars. I have played both. TS was like "The one who got the lead in the early rush won". BW was like " You could always change strategy and win" ...

Edit: Don't write in the forums when drunk!

Plus it'll have better terrain graphics

The new city improvements (stock market, commercial dock and civil defense) will make for more interesting research decisions in the industrial age.

I, as always, will wait at least a month while reading what you guys think.

Re interface improvements: The trade advisor will include information about your current deals, so you don't need to contact other civs just for deal checking.

This is a great feature.

[Demerzel]

if you look at the feature list provided above, most of that should have been included in the original game rather than in a give-us-more-money expansion pack.
