WTF???!!! Very nice...

[Martin Gühmann]

Yeah a nice prize version let's wait to the nice prize version of CTP2, but before we could make some Great mods for CTP1. By accident I have some good sprites to upgrade Nordicus' mod of alternative trade goods.

Was there, but several weeks ago.

[Immortal Wombat]

How?
Was Civ3 so disappointing that people went back to another Civ-style game?

Civ3 fell out of the top ten in late February, early March. Currently, CtP1 (a 3+ year old game) is outselling the 6 month old Civ3

...proving once again that a 'conservative sequel' just doesn't cut it...

Don't imitate, innovate

[Peter Triggs]

Huh? Makes me want to buy a lottery ticket. You never know what might happen next!

[Locutus]

Next? Next Brian Reynolds announces that he's gonna design CtP3

[drAgON1]

Wow great news.....Civ3 folks must be trying to improve the game by playing ctp1.

[Locutus]

Seeing how the game is apparently this popular, maybe I should consider running Tournament games for CtP1 as well?

Well, I COULD let you ask my wife, what game I play the most, what CD did I finally wear out and what game makes me *POP* my keyboard in frustration most and also, although the game doesnt talk back TOO MUCH!! I sure do talk to my 21" monitor a lot!

Ok, as some have seen, I am still working on moding this game..love it so..

I can still remember my son, whom is a deputy sherriff now here in North Carolina, bringing home CIV2 on Playstation, I watched and became interested, he went out one morning, surfing, around 6:30 a.m., I asked if I could plaay it, he showed me a few things, and when he came back late that night, around 10:30 I was still playing, on our 60" Big Screen, well, after a couple weeks my sweetheart "asked" me to go get one for the PC, so when I went to Babbages I askd for the latest Civ game and CTP had just came out, and well, the rest is History. I played this online as Patton and I had nerve damage for like 8 months, RSDS, couldnt walk sleep or anything without being in terrible pain, got 13 spinal taps, so I was playing CTP for 18-20 hours a day!! I can for 1 person, say I have never played a game that I have enjoyed more than this!

Way to go!!
