Infogrames Interactive. The source of all evil.

Oh, stop trolling.
Either software-development costs or you will have to wait for people to make Freeciv in their sparetime (finishing it around 2010). And I whould rather pay 45$+35$ for a rather good game and a well-done XP containing well-done MP than paying 45$ for a half good, half bad game with MP that most people doesn't have the time to play. The MP of PTW looks like it will be much more usefull than the MP in any TBS-game ever before.

If they keep good XP's, with relevant extensions, comming at around 35$ each, I will buy them. If they make a product I like and feel gives adequate bang for the buck, I will pay them for making it.

It is quite fair actually.

I still maintain that they said we'd get a patch with multi-player, in either March or May (I forget which, but I think March). Then again, multi-player isn't why I'm going to be buying PTW.

I personally liked multiplayer the way it was in CTP1. 6 seconds (configurable by player) per city to move your units. Everyhing else (diplomacy, citiy queue, etc.) you can do at any moment.

Find this quote please. I've never seen it.

Yes, could anyone actually give me this quoted promise?

[ACooper]

It was never promised. Period.

Don't be so inpatient to pre-order games you can buy on the day of the release.
I always could so far (for the last 6 years)

if you pre-order a product 1 month before it's release, you might expect that one day things will have changed during the last month.

I agree, what Infrogames did was wrong,
but again, you should have known. (MP was questionable already for weeks prior they said it was in)

Alright then a small capitalist company...

The quote was on the Civ3 wed site before the game was released. It has since been removed from their web site. There was a list of features and high points that would be in the game and a link to were you could pre-order the game. MP was listed as one of the enclosed features.
