K everyone theres a new "poll" if you will of all of the founding fathers if anyone interested. I took it and its really worthwile YOU can have an impact on the finished product

LandGrabber · Sep 25, 2001, 05:56 AM

spycatcher34, thanks for voting! I got you’re ballot, at least I think its yours. It didn’t have a name on it. You’re not the first to leave your name off. I think I just made the entry form too small. I’ve redesigned the ballot slightly to make it more obvious. Not that a name is required. It just helps to keep the tabulation straight (and prevent more than one ballot from the same person being counted). Just to be clear about this, everyone can vote, and they can vote as often as they like. However only the last ballot from each person will be counted. So if you change your mind about a FF you can always revote. (You wouldn't have to change the whole ballot, just that particular FF.)

I’ve updated the Results page to reflect your vote.

If anyone else is interested; the Founding Fathers page can be found here:

FOUNDING FATHERS PAGE

If you just wish to vote, the Ballot can be found here:

BALLOT

The Results here:

RESULTS

The current standings here:

STANDINGS

(BTW spycatcher34, you didn’t vote for Henry Hudson. If this is just an oversight you can simply post your vote here or on the Col2 forum and I’ll count it. Or not, it’s your choice.)

Becka · Sep 25, 2001, 08:39 AM

I just responded a minute ago. I don't think I put my name though. Sorry!

spycatcher34 · Sep 25, 2001, 03:26 PM

Guess I forgot the name

Bout HH Hes not THAT important but if you want to fill a slot or have a big selection go ahead but other than that you would have to be totally concentrating on furs to waste the precious op to have new FF

Oh and thanks for respoending sooo quick

LandGrabber · Sep 26, 2001, 04:53 AM

Becka, thanks for voting. I’ve updated the Results and Standings to show your votes.

spycatcher34, I wasn’t trying to campaign for Hudson, it’s just that I noticed you didn’t vote one way or the other on that specific FF. I figured you just missed him when filling out your ballot. If you intentionally skipped him, or if you just don’t think its important to vote for (or against) him, I understand.

I changed the ballot once again. I moved the ‘Name’ box to just above the ‘Submit’ button. Maybe this will help people remember to enter some kind of identifying ‘name’.

Also, I’d like to point out that this is all still very preliminary. There may be a considerable amount of changes before the FF are actually put into the code. Nor are the nominations closed. Just a few days ago I added LEZO at the suggestion of a new Spanish member of the Col2 forum. If anyone has a new member they’d like to nominate, just post the name, a brief description, and a possible benefit (I’m sure you’re all familiar with the standard format for a FF). I’ll be happy to add it to the ballot!

spycatcher34 · Sep 29, 2001, 02:57 PM

Anything new LG???

LandGrabber · Sep 30, 2001, 01:47 AM

At the moment the idea of Faction or Trade Companies are being discussed. Also, possible changes in Sea Movement.

Bretwalda · Oct 08, 2001, 09:36 AM

I love Col1, there is only one problem to it: it is kinda one way solution to winning and what is more: there is a point when you HAVE to stop expansion because otherwise your son of liberty % will never go up high enough. I HATE stop expansion!!!!

Son of Liberty · Oct 08, 2001, 10:17 AM

You've a point at a certain point of the game the player needed to stop founding new colonies if he wanted to finish his game at some point.
There was also a unit limit which stopped a nice expansion, yet i don't know why we should include this in our new game.

Bretwalda · Oct 09, 2001, 03:13 AM

But why??? I think there should be a way to be able to keep on expanding all the way - somehow

I think the reason for the unit limit were the old slow PCs which might not have had enough memory to support unlimited units/colonies. With today's computers there shouldn't be such a problem...

bvd · Oct 09, 2001, 10:49 AM

In the original, all Founding Fathers discharged some useful purpose with the exceptions of Hudson and Revere. The two figures were significant, no doubt, so I'd vote "Modify" for them and "Keep" for all others

Genghis Janeway · Jan 19, 2002, 07:25 PM

I before anything else would make things 3D.

Jimcat · Jan 21, 2002, 10:20 AM

I wouldn't waste resources on making things 3D, but that's just me.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when a new STRATEGY game comes out, and the reviewers can talk about nothing but the sound and graphics? Hello, people, this is not what I buy a strategy game for! Okay, it's nice if it looks good, but seriously, I think that the graphics in Colonization and Civ1 were fine as they were. I would have been happier if Firaxis had spent less time and energy on those cheesy unit animations and more on the actual rules of the game.

Does anyone agree, or am I a lone voice in the wilderness here?

spycatcher34 · Jan 21, 2002, 10:27 AM

Your no alone, but then again its very rare for a new strategy game to come out that I would have an intrest in buying because they are all crap.

Black Fluffy Lion · Jan 21, 2002, 11:18 AM

I agree.

Civ1 graphics were definately the best

Here here!

Reminds of the old DOS days...

Black Fluffy Lion · Jan 21, 2002, 11:35 AM

old?? my computer still plays DOS civ1!! And you can't call my computer old

Becka · Jan 21, 2002, 11:42 AM

My computer would probably play Civ, too. Maybe even Colonization. But I'm too afraid to try it.

But nothing will ever play a DOS game like my old 486.

Ok, that was off-topic. But most of us can agree spectacular graphics aren't really the mark of a great strategy game.
