    anything up to 20-30 $ would be no problem
    i am having so much fun with 1.21 that complaining about 1.07 air superiority bug would be a crime
    btw, i actually had a space RACE in my last game. all 4 remaining civs were building it like crazy, i have beaten them by 2 components. wonder what the xp will be like

      ever heard of Deus Ex? Yeah, that game from one of the TRUE game gods of the industry, Warren Spector. Can you remember a single game he messed up? Didn't think so.

      I've written off Sid. He had an inormouse impact on the gaming world back around the EGA days. I emphesize HAD. I don't care about the expantion or Sid. My eyes are firmly planted on Brian Raynolds.

      And what's all the jazz about v1.21? I played it and it seems to have more bugs and the gameplay is completely the same. The AI still tech whores, the corruption still sucks and adjusting it only gives the AI even more of an advantage. And I wasn't even overzealous with it, I set it at 70% of original and I got the AI building railroads and ironclads in the 1200's. The editor is still a toy. So I don't get it? what's so great?
      I hate Civ3!

            good thing

            Good thing people come to posts about the expansion to explain why it is/will be bad, and that they aren't buying it. Cause if they didn't, we might not even know! I don't care much for mp in civ3, good games really just take too long. Besides, I like being able to waste time between turns, not worry about wether Joe Schmoe is getting impatient for his turn. And morb, one more thing, if your getting beat that badly and having the AI build railroads in 1200s, your playing on too high a difficulty level. Warlord seems to best level to learn on, and its what most people I think started on. Though if you still have trouble you could go to Chieftain.

              Hurray for Fraxis

              of COURSE they are going to make you PAY for the multi-player expansion and of course the added new civilizations and hopefully gameplay changes will be an' added bonus. I mean, this IS the American way afterall, we have to choke every last cent from man woman and child in order to assure the dominance of a capitalist society over the radical idea of communism!

              Actually it just helps to assure there is enough profit to warrant a Civ 4 - and you ALL KNOW YOU WILL BUY IT! :P

              I personally will buy the expansion pack (Sorry, I wont help out Microsoft by using "XP" instead of expansion pack, we all know that everytime someone sees XP now they want to go out and BUY a microsoft product. It's the first rule of marketing you know, the repeating of the letters "XP" will make everyone want to rush out and buy ANY product with the letters "XP" on it, thus completing the cycle by draining all of your money just so you can have needless shiney object with "XP" labled on them) Because I also, personally like Civ 3 [shameless plug] mainly due to the Balancer Mod by Elucidus and crew [/shameless plug].

              Oh well, anyone heard about the 'turnless' multiplayer? That just sounds like a bad idea. heh.

              Dont let the man get ya down!

              You're a star-belly sneech, you suck it like a leech! You want everyone to act like you. Kiss ass while you ***** so you can get rich while your boss gets richer off you! Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back, for a bowl of rice a day. Slave to soldiers til you starve, then your heads impaled on a stake!

              The framework of the world is - black and white! The infrastructure builders - flex their might! Turning true emotion into digital expression, one by one we all fall down. The grey race shrivels, trapped inside. The world it creates is black and white.

                Hopefully Firaxis will fix the U.N. victory in the expansion pack.

                  well considering I am making civ4 and selling it for $2 (thats NZ, so its $1 US), you won't be needing to spend much for Civ4.

                      The whole idea of world control through peace is the first problem! But actually, the idea of the UN victory was fine, I was happy with it and think that the ending was 'fine' however there should have been nifty movies for ALL victories, then people would not be whimpering as much I think. (CTP II had movies for all victories.)

                      Oh, and fraxis needs to change the advisors so they SWITCH WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT TYPES! - instead of just changing with the 'ages'.

                        UN victory becomes meaningful only if more than 10 civs start the game, otherwise it is too easy.
                        also, you are absolutely right about the movies

                          I think I am in the wait and see camp. I bought Civ3 right away and I was quite disappointed (especially with the air superiority bug ).

                          I have been quite impressed with the level of patching and the responsiveness of the folks at Firaxis to the forums. So, I am hoping they will do a thorough beta test and release a winner right away so I can end up picking myself up a copy.

                            Humm decided to check Apolyton since I heard of the new expansion pack...

                            I guess mayeb I shoudl mention that I've never played Civ2 multiplayer, even though I went and bought it... I was never into it

                            Maybe "turnless" multiplayer will do the trick for me - I get the feeling that it might also actually encourage some other new people to play Civ3, actually. People who are a bit apprehensive of TBS and can try some "turnless" civ3 before they dive into the full TBS experience.

                            [old memories]
                            hahahaha I remember way before Civ3 was released some of us was arguing what it should be like - and I distinctly remember that there was someone/some people arguing hard for Civ3 to be an RTS. Well whoever it was, I hope you are laughing now
                            [/old memories]
                            No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards... Despite any stupid advertisments you may see to the contrary... (And no, koalas don't usually speak!)

                              UltraSonix, regarding you sig, neither do polar bears walk the streets in Sweden

                              And I really hope the vikings are one of the new civs, then I'll rule the world for real

                                Agreed. Glad to see some people on here can still maintain perspective.
