"Improvements" that would stop you from buying the game.

[Matthew]

1. SMAC like 3d graphics that make the game slow beyond belief. I like SMAC, but it takes too long to play, and I can't even imagine trying to do it over the internet.

2. Far Far more importantly, anything that would either cripple, kill, or relegate to a minor, trivial roll in the game, the blessed blessed camel. If I can't put Camels on my boats, why build boats? And if I have no peaceful way of using units other than settlers, why play civ? I'm sure that there are plenty of better war games out there.

------------------
The camel is not a part of civ.

THE CAMEL IS CIV !!!!

SAVE THE CAMEL !!!!!!

1. Crazy, animated 3D graphics!!!!! I think that's a horrible idea.

2. No scenario editor. I must be able to make scenarios!!!

3. Anything based on a multi layered map, like TOT. That just sucked!!

4. KEY CHANGES!!!!! If any keys are change I'll be pissed!!!!!

1. "Crazy, animated 3D graphics!!!!! I think that's a horrible idea". I agree in banning the 3D globe-map idea!

2. Ban the roundabout sequential turn-by-turn scenario-editor in Civ-2/SMAC. Update it to a more powerful and faster click-and-paste editor instead.

3. "Anything based on a multi layered map, like TOT. That just sucked!!". Again, this is bullseye!!

4: Ever more complicated suggestions in order to "reinvent the wheel", without thinking about what that hard-to-explaine idea is gonna add to the game, in terms of more fun- and play-value.

If it was CTP II...

I think that is it .

I actually WANT to see CivIII with a 3d map like SMAC. Without that, and I'd be sad.

I agree, SMAC runs shockingly slow, like I've complained bitterly about in the past.
That said, the game should still look good, it's just that the screen shouldn't *crawl* when it should *scroll*.

This was my king post. Very appropriate that it be in this forum.

I'll try again.

By the way, Matthew, you're obvious in love with camels (4 threads?!). I say we get rid of them. Altogether.

It was the bad programming that made it run slow actualy.

[UltraSonix]

Yeah, I hope they'll get it right this time!

I would not buy Civ III if it was in Real Time or if the multiplaying capacity suxs like SMAC.
