I like PTW!

[Rebel67]

I only Civ3 could have SLIC?

I agree, whilst I have no idea how to use SLIC, playing mods made by other people for Ctp2 has shown me what it can do.

If Civ 3 had this Im sure people would be able to make some great mods and scenarios for it.

PS. I'm planing to get PtW since my Civ 3 cd has somehow managed to get a hole in it, stopping the game from working. Hopefully PTW will let me avoid this problem.

PTW as a single-player game, Is all I hoped Civ3 would be, the editor, to me, is what makes the difference since I can tweak the game to my heart's delight.

Vanilla civ REALLY sucks.

Sort of like going into a Catholic Church and asking "who believes in the Pope?".

The larger group of Civ 1 and 2 addicts, who found Civ 3 a flawed product, and PTW worse, are mostly long gone from here.

You have a point, it's obvious most people who remain here are the ones who likes the game, but they are the most knowledgeable also, begin a post with "What Do You not like about PTW".

BTW: What about the mod capabilities of PTW?. I didn´t buy it and I think is very important that the comunity can mod the tech tree, add new units and events - I love those Star Trek and Lord of the Rings scenarios from CivII, they really improved the game.

The mod capabilities are pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good. The only things really missing are diplomacy editing and a trigger system for scripted events. As it is, you can revamp the tech tree, maps, units, graphics, governments, etc. In addition, they made it easier (and safer) to have multiple mods on your system without them confliciting.

Basically, I think Sid will probably keep working on his games, when others have come and gone. Usually due to Sid putting his name on it.

The big publishers will not do that, nor spend the time to fix it. One still can download a patch to make Alpha Centauri more compatible with Windows 2000 or Windows XP if necessary, and after adding one line to the AlphaCentauir.Ini file, I did not even need the patch to make it work, although I may still get that stupid line on startup -- CPU Processor is not supported, and the game may crash. Well, if I had any more time, I would find out, and still I could install the patch I did not use, since I downloaded it.

"They" have changed again the release date of PTW in here. Now it's 20th of February... I'm beginning to be suspicious if they will ever release it here

What is the reason for the continuous changes in release dates? It's now what, 3 months late?

[WarpStorm]

Who is 'they'?

[aaglo]

The game importer. Or the producer. I don't know.

[bongo]

Go abroad and buy it there, or order it online.

I'm also a PTW-supporter. I haven't seen any big differences from plain civ3 yet but it's only my first game and I have just reached the middle-age.

I have spent(or wasted) countless hours playing civ, civ2, CTP, CTP2 and civ3. If I have to compare civ(x) to ctp(x) the difference is that civ(x) has a much stronger 'one-more-turn' feeling. Maybe I haven't spent enough time with ctp(x) to get that feeeling, on civ3 I didn't get that feeling until I reached monarch level and really understood the game mechanics fully.

Now I'm an addict.


I don't want help
