I voted "yes". Vote as you see fit.

[EPW]

I voted "yes" too. However, I gave in and bought C3C, it better be as good as the people in the civ3 forums make it out to be...

[Maquiladora]

EPW, i have civ3 and c3c too, although i didnt buy them.

The AI plays only to make it as hard as possible for the human, so it always feels to me like your playing programming rather than a random thinking opponent. Which makes me turn it off quite quickly sometimes.

Fancy a c3c pbem?

[EPW]

Eventually; I actually havn't gotten it yet, ordered it online yesterday and should get it within a week. Its been a long long time since I've played civ3 so I'll have to relearn over again (not that its too complicated )

[Maquiladora]

No problem. I have a feeling im terrible at civ3 anyway, so you may win one.

[Flinx]

I posted a poll over in the Civ3 General forum. Feel free to vote for the option "Civ3 is crap. I play Call to Power 2: Apolyton Edition!"

How does CTP2 know what language you are playing? Can you switch languages (other than moving all of the second language files into the directory for the first language)? Could some crazy person with way too much time add a language by translating all of the files into say Portuguese or Dutch?

[Fromafar]

The language is determined by the 4th line in the file ctp2_program\civpaths.txt. So, yes. After changing english to yourlanguage in this file, you may just copy all files in ctp2_data\english (and similar subdirectories under scenarios) to ctp2_data\yourlanguage and start translating.

[Solver]

The name of the active language folder was in one of the configuration text files, userprofile.txt perhaps.

So theoretically, it can be translated to any language as long as all files are in place for it.

[Protra3211]

I voted no.

But I did bring up diplomacy. I feel like many in the civ3 fourms that it needs to fixed. The ai factions soom or later will rise up against you no matter how many gifts you give
.Also I compared ctp2 to civ3 that -I think the bargin table is not always the best-the way its set up in ctp2 is better. Waiting for Peters new diplomod anyone hear from him on this?

[child of Thor]

i havent played Civ3 yet, but its an interesting poll - i'm surprised it wasnt a more one sided result(in favour of Civ3). I dont think its actually a crap game in the way i'd define crap(value for money and longevity being important to me), but i can believe it may have been a dissapointment to many. Hopefully the next Civ game will take some of Civ3 critisims on board - I guess we all still want the ultimate civ game?

hi

i'm new here and i have one question

i see that people around are working on the ctp2 source project and then :

- is it to make a better ctp2 still on windows ? or is it to make a ctp2 for linux ? if so, could it be possible to make too ctp2 for mac os X ( even it's different, it's an unix platform too ! ) i'm ignorant in programming stuff but i'd find really great if someone'd be interested in that project too ...

[Solver]

The short term goals are to fix the single player bugs in CtP2 (good progress) and make multiplayer working (not much progress).

CtP2 has been compiled and ran under Linux, but it's probably some time till a real port for it will be made. A MacOSX port if, of course, possible, but nothing like that has been even attemted yet .
