If the editor was free, would you buy the XP ?

[Gramphos]

You don't know if the editor will work with the original game. But I'll buy the XP whatever the case is.

I'm going to buy the XP because of the new civs and I'm just too lazy to figure out how to add civs myself.

Concerning the multiplayer option:
I'd like to give it a try, but I'm a little bit concerned whether the turnless mode will actually fit my playing style.
It also might not work if you're behind a firewall. I don't want to open up all ports just to be able to play over the internet.
Using the LAN at home would work of course, but how can I then play with you guys?

[Gramphos]

Well, can't you just give civilizationIII.exe permission to use the ports?

Guess I need to read the manual for the firewall. It's a separate hardware router and can only be configured via telnet...
I'll find out, when it comes to that.

It also depends on whether the game uses one specific port or random ports that are different for each session.

[Inverse Icarus]

yes. MP is life.

i just hope they don't muck it up.

Actually, I'm considering not buying the XP because the most evil man history has ever produced is included and glorified.

Though, I may buy it and mod that particular civ into Byzantium.

Who are you talking about? Genghis Khan? And judging from the leaderhead and the 147-post racism discussion that resulted, i wouldnt say he's glorified.

[Inverse Icarus]

Khan is the most evil man in history?

[Mikhail]

civman: he's glorified because, unlike Hitler and Stalin, he's actually included in the game as a 'great leader'. I don't care what they made him look like. Kublai Khan would be a much better choice.

Uber: I'd say so, considering the millions of innocent people he raped and murdered. Hitler killed people because of their religion, while Genghis Khan killed them because they were alive. He built nothing, only distroyed.

Actually, I'd say Genghis Khan and Hitler are about on the same bar, but the fact that Genghis Khan and the Mongols are looked upon as 'cool' by the West makes me hate him even more. (Even more than I would already hate a serial killer)

How I'd rank the top 3 in terms of evil:

1. Genghis Khan
2. Hitler
3. Stalin


Anyway, back on topic.

Multiplayer will probably be along the lines of "every 30 seconds a turn passes" thus, a 10 turn improvement to a city will take 5 minutes to complete, unless rushed. while you're troops and workers are moved in semi-real time (except you couldn't move a troop more than their allowed number till 30 seconds passes)

That's the only way I can fathom it to work.

That's the only way I can foresee it happening anyway.

In history it was a little bit different.

If you give us a tribute you won't be hurt, EVER.
EVER.

If you don't ...

it will

But that map, the scenario editor, and the content won't require the expansion pack.
