Should I Wait For Civ3?

It also includes some great scenarios that give it that "10 games in 1" feel. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on there. My hope is that you will not let the other civ-type games be your guide. I played them all to some degree except CTP2 and none of them, IMOHO, match up to Civ2MPG.

Well, I would add SMAC among the options. It is very similar to CIV2 and has extremilly good graphics. The history is also very good and diplomacy is innovative and gave a new standard to TBS games. I had great times playing it.

Freeciv can be found on www.freeciv.com

Hey - If M$ sends me a free copy of windows 2000 and implements a way to install it secondary to linux it may have a chance... nah

Get civ2 if you wanna get a headstart on civ3. Meaning if you're competitive and want to use as little time as possible getting good at civ3.

Civ2MPG, with SMAC as runner-up. There's enough Civ2 scenarios on the Net to keep you occupied until Civ3 comes along.

I've given up on Civ3.

I still play CIV2 and SMAC. I even have my wife hooked on CIV2.
From what I have seen the only thing about CTP that is remotely enticing is the graphics. But snazzy graphics do not make up for poor game play.

So I will stick with CIV2 and SMAC for some time.

Why give up on civ3? from what i've seen and heard, it'll be the best TBS game ever.
