    WC3 isn't the only one according the the A/C poll.

      I take it that you're on a civilised time zone, hmm? Its a pain playing SMAC with Americans. You end up very tired, and they are still fresh. Why can't we all be on GMT? Australians would just have to go to work in the dark.
      And we Canadians would start at midnight, finish at 8am and sleep the afternoon.

        I'm having good fun in Neverwinter Nights. If you really like to play RPGs multiplayer, then I highly recommend it. If not, then consider it but it might not be the best choice.

          WC3 turned into a boring game after finishing the all too easy campaign mode.

              If you played on hard it should be no pushover. And since 1.03 you can set the comp in 1v1's to a new 'insane' level. Also there is MP.

                Hmm, then when my plan comes into operation, not only will I get an extra hour's sleep in the morning, but I will inconveniance the Canadians too!

                        Really guys, what do you think about GalCiv? Do you know about any GalCiv specific forum (maybe we should have one here)?

                        I read the interview on Apolyton where the project lead explained why they made it SP only. Based on my Civ3/PtW experience, I totally agree with him. I also concluded earlier that the main problem with Civ3 is the idiotic AI. Lo and behold, the GalCiv team seems to be focusing on creating a clever AI. Am I being suckered in by the marketing machinery here or what?!

                        On the less-than-bright side certain things seem to be a bit rough in this game. For example the resources, which were a great invention of Civ3, have less than a perfect "story" in GalCiv, IMHO.

                        As a side question, am I correct in thinking that there is no predefined tech tree in MOO3 and not only the research speed is randomized to a certain level but tech order is also a bit different in every game? This seems to be a great idea.
                        Care for some gopher?

                        Did you know that in GalCiv, the AI makes you think you are playing against humans? Stop laughing, they mean it!!!

                          I don't believe any talking about a clever AI, before I see it. During the making of The Settlers IV, there was much talking about the AI was much better, since they now ("now" as in "back-then now") has had 3 programmers, who only worked on the AI (In The Settlers III, they only had one)... at the end, the AI was just as stupid, as in The Settlers III...
                          This space is empty... or is it?

                            And tell me ADG, do you plan to buy GalCiv by any chance?

                            This is another interesting aspect I have been thinking about lately. AFAIK a single programmer was responsible for the whole AI in Civ3 as well.

                            I must be missing something but I think I would put about 80% of programming resources on the AI if I wanted to develop a turn based strategy game. I mean the rest of Civ3 (from a programming point of view, not the graphics and "story") looks like what, a relaxed semester project for a CS major?

                            Perhaps I should get into the gaming business!?!

                              At present time: No
                              The reason: I have no idea what it is

                              Second reason: GalCiv? Does that mean GalacticCivization? If that's the case, then No... "Galactic" is not an interesting theme for games, I'd say...

                                It's a pitty.



                                Yes, it's Galactic Civilizations.
