All of the features we wanted in the original Civ 3. Better late then never eh?

**alva** · May 9, 2002, 15:30

my guess is they will release some kind of MP in a patch.
Certainly not all of them, just one or two.
The rest you will have to pay for.

About radar towers: Any chance that these will have the ability to shoot down aircraft? Or are they just passive detection?

**Rhuarc** · May 9, 2002, 16:44

I would imagine they are probably just passive detection. That would kind of defeat the purpose of having jets patrolling the skies!

The radar might be passive, but we can only hope enemy aircrafts that are detected by the radar triggers your waiting fighters ;-)

markg,

i guess the one thing that i would have liked firaxis/infogrames to do differently was inform us that they were going to charge us for multiplay/editor near the time of initial release.

have you guys done a poll on the level of satisfaction on how firaxis/infogrames releases information?

(btw, i've been a casual reader of your website for about two years and appreciate all the work you guys are doing.)

I am so pleased with the announced description of the XP. I suppose they are going to try and hit the Chritmas market. Nice to see them supporting the product so well. It was a long wait between Civ2 and Civ3.

PS. Civ3 exceeded all my expectations.

i think that was as obvious as that sky is blue starting from the fact that if they were going to do the opposite(offer it for free) they would be saying it(or better, shouting it) in a every single way possible

Maybe Hotseat & PBEM?

Not to any offend anyone, but you must have been in complete denial if you actually believed that there was a chance that MP would become available through a free downloadable patch.

**Grrr** · May 10, 2002, 00:47

If MP would be a downloadable patch, then who'd buy the XP?

Given that I can allready see to my nation's cultural boarders + 1 square beyond, why do I need radar?

And how did you people mannage to compress 3 slyables into 4 letters anyway? *grin*

what i meant was just 1 form of MP ( for example PBEM)
this could be released in a free patch, that way they would 'honor'

their promises. any other you would
have to pay for

wich to me seems reasonable

this is NOT insight info btw, just my 0.02 cent

looks like i just added a hitpoint

to my name

**Grrr** · May 10, 2002, 02:18

That would be a very honest and honourable thing to do on Firaxis' behalf. Congratulations on your promotion to Warlord.

**soufie77** · May 13, 2002, 13:22

Well I for one welcome the new expansion pack, and hope it improves on Civ3beta in every department.
