You can play with 16, actually.Originally posted by DarkCloud
And didn't let you play with 10 or more at once!!!
I'm not a huge fan of the original graphics either, but their are plenty of mods out there (sn00py's in particular) that are excellent improvements IMHO.
I agree with pretty much everything else you said, though.

16 simultaneous?
I thought people were complaining that you could at most do 8?
Perhaps I misheard...
But I stand by the rest of my statements

But in a communist society- none of the games would ahve been produced in the first placeit has to do with capitalism

UR: If you learn Starcraft for free, like I did, with Brood War, you can't begin to imagine going back to the original. Besides, it's 12 for the original and 20 for both, so why not get both?
A lot of people swear by multi-player games. I myself shun mouse click-fests, though.Originally posted by SnowFire
And the real fun in SC isn't the campaign, it's multiplayer.

I don't believe in multiplayer either. If single-player is boring you need to use your imagination more.
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

SP is the way to go. Just slapping on generic MP code and calling it replay value doesn't cut it for me (YOU HEAR ME MONOLITH AND RAVEN!)
This is why I am totaly against having Scripted Events within games, they are fine the first time around but bore quickly.
I wish more programmers who make FPS games could take Rebellion's idea of randomization of items and enemies. AvPGE never bores me, and with the help of the AvP launcher program and AvP Tweak (to enable jet packs and grappling hook in all levels), you can have even more fun!
This year I'm faced with a hard problem. Do I buy PTW for it's fix of Airplan range in the editor (which I could problably "fix" myself anyway)... or buy Tribunal, and continue my quest in MW.

Civ II, believe it or not, didn't have multiplayer either. The larger the map, the more civs you can play against.Originally posted by DarkCloud
Civ III should have been better than Civ II... it should have had more; or at least been as much perfected- as it was; it was almost as good as Civ II, but its graphics were horrid; its mechanics flawed- its design ideas trash, etc, etc, etc, and it had no MP- rip off!!! And less civs!!!! and didn't let you play with 10 or more at once!!!
An option to CREATE OWN CIV would have been perfect!!!
Firaxis gave us LESS- not MORE with tehir expansion and thin kthat htaye can remedy that in the xpansion pack... they are such idiotic money-grubbing capitalists- they don't deserve our money.
CREATE OWN CIV: No, you can't, and that does suck.Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

UR: Well, obviously if you don't like SC, don't bother with BW. But if you do like SC, then BW makes it far better.
As for the click-fest.. eh, I know people who just can't control their units that fast. Myself, I'm pretty decent at it, and that means I can concentrate on the strategies I want to use. Also, mutltiplayer team-stuff means that you can let somebody else worry about producing the ground hordes to hold off direct assault and make mobile annoyance-strike forces myself which I can micromanage and do various evil things with.
Thrawn: Hardly separate. I will say that the games I prefer multiplayer generally I mostly prefer multiplayer, and games I like SP I like almost exclusively SP (with the possible exception of Myth, but even there, multiplayer was a good bit better). And I play way more SP anyway.All syllogisms have three parts.
Therefore this is not a syllogism.Comment

My bad experience with SC came from grinding through all three solo campaigns (the Protoss one is esp. bad). If BW is that much better, I could have a change of heart

All you had to do was go in and change the values manually in the editor! It wasn't hard!Civ II, believe it or not, didn't have multiplayer either. The larger the map, the more civs you can play against.
CREATE OWN CIV: No, you can't, and that does suck.
And I know that Civ II didn't have mulitplayer- but please realize this- civ III was supposed to be better than CIV II! Civ III had less units and less rulers possible (only one female or male rahter than both)... Civ III was LESS Than civ II- if that isn't a rip off then nothing is! IT was a remake that wasn't as good as the first!-->Visit CGN!

Was it really worth bumping this month-old thread to carry on one of those tired Civ2.vs.Civ3 debates?If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

Well, maybe some good will come of it. UR might see this and finally answer my question...

Another reason for XPs is because in the early development of games, some things needed to be cut in order to release the game on time, and to fit on the CD(s) (why games are not being released on DVDs is beyond, I think I read about 85% of computer users have DVD drives).
Tribunal was released for two reasons:
1: The success of Morrowind
2: The ORIGINAL story line for Morrowind called for what's in Tribunal.... and more.
The developers for MW have stated there were a lot of story lines they wanted to include, but couldn't due to time contraints.I drink to one other, and may that other be he, to drink to another, and may that other be me!Comment
