Say No 2 Net Validations
Kind of strange that there are so few informations available, no?
People that say that are just whiners.dh_epic said:You'd be surprised how pissed people can get about a small thing. "I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE BOX WOULD BE RED?!?!?!! WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR FANS?!?!?!?!"
In the former case all of you HoF'ers can find ways to exploit the bugsSo, what's better: Scheduled Release Date + Bugs... versus Delayed Release Date + Less Bugs + More Features, maybe? At least, in the latter case, we can still play Civ III!

Just goes to show that fan interaction does not necessarily produce a decent game. RoN has no depth, but that could be RTS games in general (RoN is the only RTS I've played).PeteT said:OTOH, I followed the build up to the release of 'Rise of Nations' fairly closely and, as I recall, both Brian Reynolds and Tim Train regularly interacted with the fans.
RTS games are usually devoid of depth. They are usually "obliterate your opponents with a small set number of units/buildings and usually no modding potential" games. I like Civ because its moddable, has more than one way to win, actually requires a brain to play, and requires strategic thinking to win, and has more than one "age" to play in (C&C games are almost always future or very modern).Jaybe said:Just goes to show that fan interaction does not necessarily produce a decent game.

I already plan to make a WW2 Europe scenario for Civ4CurtSibling said:If CIV4 allows sceanrios, events and the making of a good WW2 mod, I will be over the moon!
I have worked in games before, and do 3D graphics daily, so I can say the screenies
thus far are no doubt just prototypes...And seem pretty heavilyl zoomed in too.
