Hey MarkG

[markusf]

Want to make a poll about windowed vs non windowed mode in civ3? I think everyone will be suprised by the results, can you ask the following questions in the poll?

1. I Would like windowed mode/I play single player
2. I Don't want windowed mode/I play single player
3. I Would like windowed mode/I play multiplayer
4. I Don't want windowed mode/I play multiplayer

[MarkG]

sounds good. any comments on the above options?

[Zylka]

Markus' options should be more than enough to make a pretty clear statement.

[Fiera]

Would it be possible to vote for two different options (ie: "Windowed, I play single player", plus "windowed, I play multiplayer")?

By 'windowed' you mean in a windows interfface? you can minimize it and such? no, i would rather have a full screen with an option to minimize

[MarkG]

actually, does signle player/multi player makes any big difference here?

[aCa]

Yes diffrent from singel and multiplayer. I wan't window mode in multiplayer and fullscreen in singel....

I think it does. Multiplayers are the only ones who use windowed mode anyway.

This is not true - I love windowed mode.

[Wittlich]

I too like the windowed mode for both single and multi-play

[Fierz]

I would like to see a windowed mode at least in multyplayer mode because then you can do something else while your're waiting for your turn.

[DrFell]

I agree, windowed mode would be nice. Long turns bore the hell out of me.

[markusf]

You got to understand that in north America pretty much everyone has Cable modems etc. Civ2 is great because i can check my email reply to icq etc etc. When a game is playing fulling screen i am cut off from everything else. Now i suppose a lot of single players aren't connected to the net so they wouldn't really care if it was windowed or full screen. But more of the world is being connected 24/7 to the net through a constant connection, it gets to be a pain in the ass to be cut off from everything. Especially when playing multiplayer and you have to sit and wait 15 min for your turn.. I would rather spend that time surfing.

Good point Markus ... one more vote for windowed mode

[ajbera]

I also like Windowed mode for when I play while I work.

Y'know, proofread reports for five minutes, take a few turns, repeat indefinitely.
