criticism gone?

[Capt Dizle]

Civ3 is just a poor excuse for a civ game.

There, does that make you all feel better.

ps. I decided to stop the criticism mainly because of the PTW disaster. To release a multiplayer version of a game that sucked in the first place, and for that release not to work at all, gee, I finally felt sorry for Firaxis.

After all they are all just good people caught up in the current vicious game industry greed cycle.

Hey jt.

Have you tried SP PTW 1.14?

You'd like it, I think.

And yes, MP has been sort of a clusterf-uck. And we haven't heard so much from Firaxis about that...

[Capt Dizle]

Theseus,

As a matter of fact I broke my declaration that I would never buy another Infrogrames/Firaxis product (including PTW). I actually bought and installed PTW yesterday. You see I have joined the CGN team in the new PBEM Diplomacy Game and am looking forward to kicking both Poly and Firaxis arses.

Which will certainly come to pass if the folks at CGN are wise enough to listen to my advice.

Cheers,

jt

I never make resolutions like that because I know I will break them . Instead what I do is if I don't like a company I won't buy any games from them until the price drops to half-price for any of their games. I figure I can suffer waiting for a game just to shaft them out of me paying 40-60$ when the game first comes out. It's been working so far and it's easier on the pocketbook.

[WarpStorm]

Actually, SirTweek, the one you are shafting most likely is the retailer not the company.

[Unconquered]

For the most part I like the game, very well done. The complaints that I have are unit balancing issues. For instance air power is not strong enough and modern naval units seem weak compared to earlier ones... But like I said a good game. I guess criticism is never gone...

[Theseus]

Unconquered, try the AU Mod.

[WarpStorm]

Yeah, the AU mod is good. I took many parts of it in the mod I play.

[player1]

PS MOD is better.

More "stabile".

[sabrewolf]

what's this AU mod and what's up with it?
i saw some spoiler threads about it in the strategy forum but didn't really get, what it's about...

[WarpStorm]

I've also lifted stuff from your mod, player1, and the BTM mod (although parts of that were my idea anyway so is it 'lifting'?).

Sabrewolf, the AU mod (like the PS and BTM mods) is a mod that tries to keep the general feel and spirit of Civ3 intact, but has numerous tweaks to balance the game better and improve AI performance.

[Unconquered]

Where do I get the AU Mod?
