    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

    • Not really, but it would be nice to have an equal chance to get each civ...just to be fair about it.

      We're smart enough to do it right, let's do it right, ya know?

      Just my opinion is all...

            Give it to me...NOW

            I just asked out local computer store, on when they got the game...they didn't know about the game...they couldn't find it on their computer, and they didn't even know what it is...
            This space is empty... or is it?

            • I won't be getting the game for 3 weeks either.

              • Are you threatening me?

                It's gotta suck watching everyone else talk about thier experiences with PTW and you still can't go out and buy it, I know...

                If it'll make you feel any better, I still think there's some crash bugs that have to get worked out, even with 1.04.

                  I should know, some idiot (i.e. BirdMan [BirdBrain/VultureBreath]) created a world in Call To Power PBEM that had me in tundra on an island upon which i was destined to not advance beyond the stone age! Stupid BirdBrain!!!

                  Alternatively, starting two identical games with the players swapped ensures 100% fairness. It has been done in CtP with no complaints :

                  LUNG! You are up to no good again!! But in CivIII now...

                  I agrrrrreee with your idea. I got to find 80 usd somewheres.

                    • Lung and I know each other from Call to Power PBEM. He is a trouble maker in that forum! (He is a good mate, really, but don't let him know that!). Anyway I was commenting on the format of randomly starting a two player PBEM match, then swapping sides so that both players play on the same exact terrain against each other. So one match consists of two games. That idea was what I agreed with. It is very fair.

                      And $80 to buy CivIII plus Civ PTW. I have to find that kind of money!

                      • Are you going to join Civ3 PBEM too Quinns?

                        • Hi Keygen! Maybe I will join Civ3 PBEM if I can scrounge up some cash . Does PTW PBEM work? I read a lot of bad stuff about it so far.

                          • Is any offer with both games in one package with lower price?

                            What I've heared so far is that the online multiplayer has some problems mostly caused by the gamespy network. I haven't heard anything about PBEM yet but I am not sure that people have already test it so who knows

                              Not yet, there is however the 'game of the year edition'
                              Civ3--->fully patched and a few other bonusses.
                              IMO both civ3 and PTW will be sold as package soon

                              • It seems certain now that PTW will be released in the UK on 22nd November.
                                I plan to get it on the day of release, so would be available to start from then.
                                If anything changes I'll post here to let you know.

                                alva: do you know when you can get the game yet? when's it out in Belgium?
