HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're funny. I have a better idea. How about having a bonus on all product ADJACENT to the railroad (Take a page out of Imperialism II fellas!)

Well said, friend. However, I disagree that listening to their fans was the initial motive. I think they had a plan to make the most $$$ they could (which is business)but I wanted to make my dissatisfaction known just the same, so that they would consider feelings like mine in the future. I...

I was having a really bad day when I posted that. However I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that a NEW game should have the best features of the OLD game. Know what I mean? I bought it under the impression that it was going to have all the old stuff with new stuff. I liked it, but...

I'm flying a dell 4100 (1.2 ghz) and it's doing fine. I don't like playing on ha-yuge maps... If that's whatcha mean. (I DO hope they find a way to speed it along a bit, HOWEVER< you can choose whether or not to see all opponent moves, and that will make it go appreciably faster.) my humble...

We should have a dozen or so to choose from, and be able to customize all of them. (If, in a multiplayer game, everyone is aware of whatever bonuses are offered, etc...) That having been said, there ARE culture types which serve as a nice, politically-correct way to have separate cultures...

Perhaps, but they were slaughtering each other for about 800 years before the 20th century. I know the crusades made them a more warmongering lot, but they were fierce warriors to begin with! (The MAMELUKE???) History shows that ISLAM (Not the Muslim religion) is a lot more warmongering and...

Me too!

I think with the expansion, it will run RINGS around Civ2. I have high expectations, and the people who have made Civ haven't disappointed me in the past. (In fact, I've never played a computer game so much as I did Civ2 Deluxe. (except Ultima Online. Would you believe I sold my account...

Of course I've enjoyed it! But in playing, I have to admit that the experience has gotten sour during some games, due to map sizes, etc. I will never play on a map bigger than standard. I still like the game, please don't get me wrong there, but I feel like I've been grossly toyed with. Top...

AND!!! FURTHERMORE!!! I still enjoy the hell out of the game, but I'm venting it here because this is the game that's the most important for me. I'll spend the bucks to play it, but I don't appreciate being manipulated like this! I wonder how many people here AREN'T kids who actually have...

And the attacks continue. "DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS!!! DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS!!! HUH!!! DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS!" For chrissakes, a guy can change his mind can't he! And it's not even THAT much of a change. I just realized I'm being toyed with, and just don't LIKE it very much. :mad:

I don't even think Civ3 is bad. I LOVE it, but I want the game companies to put more effort into their games. EVERYTHING is coming up with an expansion pack that makes it new and improved, and all it is is a way to stick it to the consumer. The fact that Civ3 had planned Play The World before...

I like PC Games. I like Firaxis. I only chose to vent here because Civ3 is the game I'm most disenchanted with. I like playing it still, but it kills me to have to wait so long to play it the way it was supposed to be played six months ago. Just my .02 You guys are pretty darned...

I just realized how lack of depth it is AS is. I hope they were just finding out what we want, and going from there, but I see a LOT of game companies pulling stunts like this, and it makes me MAD:mad:

Don't buy the game when it comes out. Don't even buy it when the expansion pack comes out. Wait until they have a combo pack a year after the fact. I'm sorry guys, but Firaxis should have put every bit of this in Civ3. When Civ4 comes out, I'm not getting it unless I play a demo and like...
