Civ 3 was such a disappointment I am very hesitant to buy another. I`ll wait and see what others have to say.

You mean that enough has not been said already?

Not having touched CivIII for 9 months, I have recently downloaded 1.29 and fired it up -and yes, so far it does now seem playable. (Don´t know if I should comment this with

or

. After all, it took them more than half a year to come up with a -barely- satisfying game, something I would expect right out of the box.)

So, with CivIII -finally- in a halfway decent shape, I am inclined to buy the expansion for the new civs and such, but I am also inclined to wait for half a year -once bitten, twice shy.

You missed an option. It is not available in Europe yet. Once it is, I will buy it at the first opportunity.

**joncnunn** · November 20, 2002, 16:27

You missed an option: Someone has annouced they are buying it as a Christmas present for you, and so you have to wait until Christmas presents are opened to play it.

**Christmann** · November 20, 2002, 16:44

You missed an option: There aren't scenario capabilities.

One word : Mac.

Civ3 PtW doesn't have scenario capabilities?

..but that's so easy...

..sigh...

the more i hear about PtW, the less likely I am to buy it.

**Verto** · November 20, 2002, 22:03

I haven't bought it because of all the multiplayer problems I've been hearing about. Since multiplay is the only reason I'd be getting it, there doesn't seem to be any reason to buy the game until those problems are resolved.

Buy it Now! Its a great game,even though it is buggy.....

If you can manage to get it up and running it will provide hours of sheer pleasure......the bugs you can always go around them.....

Its not the complete ultimate game yet but it is the best out there already in terms of enjoyment

ACK!

I agree with you.

Firaxis has no credibility whatsoever anymore. I said as much on the forums months ago; PTW confirms it.

**Tiberius** · November 21, 2002, 05:12

How about: it's not available here yet?

**Dis** · November 21, 2002, 05:22

I say the game is decent. But not worth over $20. I heard you could get it for $20 somewhere. I ended up paying $30 for it

.

The civs are nice.

I am playing a couple PBEM's right now. And I did play an IP game.
