Noooo! Not Alex Mor too!

[NickC]

I was checking Alex Mor's site, as I usually do once in a while to see updates, and now it says that the Russian Civil War will be in Test of Time! I'm not wasting $30 for a different version of Civ2, but maybe the Russian Civil War will be so good that I will have to buy TOT.

are you serious? No scenario could be worth $30!

[MagyarCrusader]

Yup. I taught alex how to override the sprites. He said that having 2 different soldier angles is too great of an opportunity to pass up. He said he didn't like the artwork in his previous scenario because you'd have guys attacking with their asses.

[NickC]

Yes, that is true. We don't want that happening during a war of independence in Italy, now do we? MarkL, ehem, are you talking?

Not just Alex's scenario, but also Archangel's WW2 scenario coming up, and all the scenarios it comes with.

i have tot now, its good but i'd only pay about $10 for it. which is incidentally, what i paid.

I don't know how much money the average American man spends on hobbies but I'll bet it's over two-thousand dollars a year. Civ is the single cheapest hobby I have ever had and I for one am grateful to have spent only $40 for ToT.

[techumseh]

Temba, you got ToT?! WWNC! (Will Wonders Never Cease) Check out Kestrel's "Escape From Sol," It's better than the "official" scenarios.

[Alex The Magnificent]

Hey! Yow greedy western capitalists who have more them 1000 $ per month at Your job...
You can not pay for TOT 30 $ (!!!). I can not believe it...

Well, well...

TOT is a future of scenario making. I am true believer of it. A single value of TOT is only a big upgrade of scenario creating.

For example:

100 kb of "events" - on my "Spartacus" in one "events" file.
Invisible barbarian units. You can prevent them from disbanding.

New macro language commands...

Advanced unit fields...

Different "bribe" politic...

etc.

About my scenario.

Actually I already at summer made full FW version of "Civil War" with numerous units, but found that it is not interesting for playing. And I was totally lack of "events" volume.
I decided that I need more brain work becuse
I always thought that scenrio need ideas not only a war. When I found new ideas I became lack of time and "burn out" of Civil War. And so my scenario is frozen.

[NickC]

Hmmm...cool. Can you send me the FW version. Wow, ok, I'm buying TOT now. Haha. Seriously, it sounds awsome. Alex, are you going to make any more scenarios in normal Civ2 mode on FW?

Good for you Alex! You tell those western capitalists just how greedy they are!:|

What do you guys do with your money that you cant spend thirty bucks on your freaking hobby!

By the way Alex if you make only $1000 a month in America you are considered so poor that you need goverment aid! Most people I know make at least $5000 a month.

[blackclove]

Yeah, Alex is right. I blow $30 when I go out to dinner.

William, your friends probably make more in two months than I do in an entire year.

[William Keenan]

I live in Bergen County, New Jersey just outside of New York City. I guess that the per capita income here is probably higher than anywhere else in America other than Manhatten itself. Although my friends are white color workers as am I, $5000 dollars a month is not rich arround here. Housing is really expensive, my rent is $800 a month for a two-bedroom in a crap neighborhood. I pay $900 a month to put my two kids in daycare and that is dirt cheap! My girlfriend's morgage on a 5-beadroom house in a very nice neighborhood is $2700 a month plus $800 in taxes.

Can you blame me for balking when I hear guys complain about spending $30 for ToT?

[NickC]

Let's just say that I make a lot of money a month and leave it at that. I put a lot of it into my buisness though, and my website I am constructing now, but the main reason I can't buy TOT is that it is hard to find the time to venture to CompUSA these days.

Besides, computer games aren't my first priority, and I don't think you'd really call Civ2 my hobby.

Hey William, still curious here. If you don't mind, what do you do for a living?

With the forking out $30 American for TOT. Here its $52.99 though thats in Canadian dollars. Its not the money that bothers me, Its what we got for that $52.99. Many people have complained about what they got , a secondary game with just graphic improvements , several more scenario language commands and more units. They could of increased gameplay ten fold. I heard they spent 6 months to a year with this thing at Micropose. I'm still curious about what they did in that time frame. One thing they could of done was add another Civ to it but they didn't. And thats what got people *****ing about the games price.
