may ask who voted "I will return the game" and why?
(no the script does not keep a track of who voted what, just who voted... )

[JimMac]

I see that Jeffrey Morris will be returning his copy.How surprising!

I am sure that this comment isn't just a cheap shot at a competitor. So how about a few commments or an assessment of the game Jeffrey? (I know that this means that you will actually have to try the game now )

From where did you get that Jeff-returned-the-game stuff?

Ohhh.

[Tuerkuem]

Yeah, I saw that naff comment.
I hope it was a joke amongst developers rather than a really cheap shot.
If the Firaxis people really are that petty, I'll be thinking twice about spending money on Civ III when it finally comes out.

Tuerkuem: Nice bluff pal. You and I both know you will shell out whatever it takes to get Civ3 when its released (hopefully in our lifetime).

a couple of amazing comments(if you see them together)

quote: I will return the game If Best Buy will tack it back. Looks and plays way too much like CIV II for me. Don't like graphics for the interfaces or the way they are laid out. CTPI was better.

quote: Not really worth the money Its boring. Take the public works + army/military and put it into civ2. Then we would have one hell of a game.

Mark, can people that stupid really type ? Im amazed ! Just kidding...

[MarkG]

i just posted them to show the difference of opinions on could read in a place like this...

[Atahualpa]

its everybody own opinion

I wasn't a fan of CTP1. But when I saw someone from Firaxis was inspired enough to make a joke against it I figured the CTP2 people must be on to something and went ahead and bought it. Glad I did. Best Civ game in every way -- the gold standard.

But no caravans? Alas, I'm a caravan freak. That's just me. However, I have yet to try the joys of pirating, which is apparently what you get instead in CTP2.

ROFL!!!
Jeff should stop making such comments... he is creating sales for "those other people"

You get caravans in CTP2. That is what allows you to trade goodies and make some extra cash. You can also pirate them and steal some cash, if thats what you like.
