I understand, but I do not agree with the theory that if Firaxis waits until spring of next year, theta they will have had a chance to iron out some more bugs. More likely, they will have had no net change in the number of bugs, as everytime they fix one that alreday existed, another will arise...

ok, thanks everyone. I understand now.

Thanks for your comments kittenOf choas. You have some excellent points. The British have been outstanding in many of the 6 categories that Firaxis chose to include. I myself debated about the scientific classification of the English, seeing as perhaps the most influential...

I agree (at least from what I can discern from the previous post) with the last point mentioned.<br />I would rather that the folks at Firaxis spend more time refining the game mechanics and dynamics of the SP version. The MP will only be good if the fundamentals of the SP game play are...

Are you sure? I read a preview of the game (conveniently I seem to have forgotten where I read it) that claimed that they were introducing a new form of government (Nationalism). They gave specific details about how it would function, and what game strategies it would be useful for.<br />I...

Rhye, if Firaxis decides to to release the game in its "yellowish" tone, will you be constructing a patch to fix this problem? I would be happy to pay for this ability if necessary. I definitely prefer both of your "blue" modified screens, and I hope someone in Firaxis notices this. Maybe you...

As far as I know, there seems to be a good mix of governments. The originals (minus fundamentalism) have been retained, and a new form of government known as "Nationalisim" has replaced "Fundamentalism". If this is true, then I feel confident that a wide range of options has been presented to...

or maybe you have 1 of 4 moves, meaning that you have used three and have 1 left of your original 4. ------------------ "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. " - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best...

After having browsed through many forum posts, and thoroughly reviewing the current Civ-specific Abilities chart (found on the official Civilization 3 website http://www.civ3.com), I have come to the conclusion that something needs to be done to the current configuration in order that...

I'm definately voting for Firaxis to release Civ 3 next month. Nobody will be any good at it for the first few weeks (or perhaps months depending upon the difficulty) anyway. Oh well, there are enough problems with the SP game as it is (i.e yellowish tone to screen shots, specific civ abilities...

What's all the fuss about? I'm not that impressed with the Chinese unit; at least, that is, in comparision to other special units. In practice, the slight advantage that these special units give will not unbalance a particular game unless there was a situation where the two civs involved (the...

I do agree with the first post on this thread. I think most of you missed his point. He wasn't saying that you should need to launch a missle/ICBM from a bomber or a submarine. We all know that missles can be used as a stand-alone unit in real life. The problem is that when these missles (the...

It is very interesting how Firaxis chose to distribute some of the specific civilization abilities. Most of them I am ok with, but a few I have problems with. 1) The Americans should be [Commercial, Industrious] 2) The Romans should be [Militaristic, Expansionists] 3) The French should be...

I definately vote blue. Frankly, I'm suprised anybody could even tolerate the yellow. Looks like a smoggy day in Los Angeles permanently decended on the civ 3 world. In any event. I hope Firaxis changes this soon, or offers a patch for those who do not like it. Yuck, that yellow is horrid...
