  • There should be a reference to Apolyton in Civ3

    Something small, unintrusive, but easily recognizible by anyone that's ever been here/been a regular here. After all, we DID contribute greatly with The List, don't we deserve it?

      Yeah!

      I liked the reference to SMAC forum posters in the backstory to the game (check Story #25!!).
      “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

        I totally agree. They could add the line(s):
        ...to all the players and to all the people at Apolyton (and other forums) with all their wonderfull suggestions and inputs.
        I don't have much to say 'cause I won't be here long.

          i hope they do recognize Apolyton site, or at least it's creators, becuase not only do we act as a resource for ideas, but also as a means for advertising teh game when it is released, which whill ultimately help their profits.

          aside:
          in CTP2 (& ctpI?) you could edit the credits...i was upset with the game quality of CTPII, so i deleted the programmers (or maybe it was just the QC people, i forget which) and put my dog's name in it
          hey, at least i felt better

            in the credits is fine. but i mean IN the actual game. perhaps in the graphics for the "computer advance" have the guy on the computer looking at an Apolyton web page. or something like that, i dunno.

              Apolyton perhaps belongs in an "ideas" section of the "CREDITS" page.

                yeah that too. but i mean IN GAME, while the game is playing!

                similar to how in the simcity games there all these wierd inside joke type things. . for example, the references to llama's.

                    Absolutely.... Apolyton should be there.

                      I think its enough that they add a general thanks to all Civ-3 fans/forums out there - not just Apolyton. Why should Apolyton be singled out? So we have contributed with most ideas - so what?
                      Also, if they add something, they should do it in the automatic scrollpage credits-window. 2-3 textlines near the end of the scroll - thats more than enough for me.

                        YES!


                        Maybe a wonder, like "Apolton -50% productivity in ALL cities" requires The Internet.

                            Is it just me, or is this whole post one big ego trip?
