Suggestions for a new poll

[Slingshot]

Another idea:

Q: I expect the CTP2 gaming experience to be:
A1: The best, most innovative version of Civ to-date
A2: Not the best, but worth $40
A3: Something to tide me over until CivIII
A4: Worth $10 in a discount bin
A4: Worse than a kick in the teeth!

I would have said "a kick in the dingleberries," but I am hoping that not all Apolytoners are of one gender!

Maybe our Austrailian-rules Rugby player-type Apolytoners can tell us which spot hurts more.

[MidKnight Lament]

Heh, heh. You might start an argument amongst Aussie Apolytoners talking about AFL (Australian Rules) vs Rugby Of course, everyone knows that AFL is much more skillful and athletic that bashing your head against a human brick wall.

Actually, it's always a pleasant surprise when someone outside of Australia mentions AFL. We generally get the impression that most people don't know about it. Even fewer understand it.

I played Australian Rules "rugby" once. After the game it was like being skinned alive... not that I minded the scars, it was more the head concussion that worried me.

But I was wondering what it took to become an honorary Austrailian . There's probably a high level of refinement to the culture that's hard to achieve if you're not born there.

Actually, I think the hardest part about being an honourary Austrailian would be to learn how to drive on the left side of the road!

Another idea:

Q: What is your biggest fear about CTP2
A1: It will have the same interface as CTP1
A2: The new AI won't cut the mustard
A3: There will be too many bugs
A4: There will be too much emphasis on nonconventional units

[MidKnight Lament]

Why do you want to become an honorary Australian? Not that I mind... It's a great place to live.

And you weren't actually talking about AFL (or so it seems). Were you playing rugby league or rugby union? In the southern states of Australia (I'm in Victoria) rugby isn't very big. We're more AFL. Perhaps I should ask if you were mostly throwing the ball or kicking it.

You're really coming up with a few surveys there, Slingshot.

Actually MKL,

It was probably somebody's wierd idea of Canadian football-gone-psychotic, with no protective equipment and no respect for rules!

Another idea:

Q: What sort of tech tree enhancements should CTP2 have?
A1: None, CTP1 had too many already!
A2: Some more, especially in the genetic age.
A3: Some more in all the ages.
A4: The tech tree should have twice as many techs. Don't leave anything out!

[Slingshot]

Another idea:

Q: How many types of victories should CTP2 allow for?
A1: The same as before
A2: The same as CivII
A3: There should be a few more ways to win
A3: There should be many more ways to win
A4: You should be able to pick from a long list at the beginning

Another idea

Q: Where should CTP2 cap the CTP1 improvement tree?
A1: Oribiting cities and space marines
A2: Underwater cities and war walkers
A3: Nothing that we don't have today

Geelong kicks butt.

AFL is leaps and bounds over Rugby, but then again I never followed that code.

I have to say that most of the suggested polls are pretty good. Might pay to just randomly choose one.

[MidKnight Lament]

I always knew you were an intelligent one, Pren Draig. And Geelong had a thumping good win on the weekend too.

I'm pretty surprised that no one's leapt to the defense of rugby yet. Despite the fact that it's an inferior game.

Another idea:

Q1: With the reduction in timespan, CTP2 should have...

A1: More turns per age
A2: More intermediate ages (eg. mideval & rennaisance)
A3: More ages/turns in the beginning (eg. inclusion of a stone age and bronze age)

[TheBirdMan]

Add this to Slingshot

B1: A1+A2
B2: A1+A3
B3: A2+A3
B4: A1+A2+A3

I'll wote for B4.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Thanks especially for breaking the solid line of Slingshot posts!

How about comparing the different combat models we have experienced with different games. which do you think would be most suitable for ctp2. it may be too late to change that and the addition of class levels might elminate some of the discontentment with the previous game. but frankly i am not sure that would be enough. any of you played "age of wonder". what do you think of the combat model there. the fact that units on surrounding blocks can contribute to an attack. i found that to be a swell idea. the fact that you can beseige a city with units all around it. initiate a multi-coordinated attack. it is more realistic. and more effective.

A2: A promise from Steve M. that the game is as good as gold. A3: A promise from DanQ/MarkG that the game is as good as gold. A4: There's no way I'd buy it so soon!

A5: A $30 rebate for C:CTP owners! I might do it for $25.......
