C3C is a perfect gem, Civ4 is wooden token 

Civ 4 is a newer game. Newer games are almost always better than the old. In this Case it is better than the old, If i spent the time listing the positives about civ 4 and the negitives in civ 3 we would all be 100 years old![]()
Also you have the Fall from Heaven II mod downloaded over 93,000 times. Is there a civ3 mod that been downloaded anywhere close to this number?
'mentally challenged' gnats
On RAR site shows 29481 downloads.It's really hard to tell because of the lack of a database for so many years on CFC. I'd assume DYP/RAR, Rhye's of Civilization, and Global WW2 are somewhat near, if not much higher, than this number.

@T.A.JONES (and other fanatical Civ III dinosaurs):
You can keep repeating the same old nonsense, refuse to give yourself a chance to discover just how much cIV really have to offer and keep playing Civ III to infinity for all I care - it still wont make the nonsense you are spewing true and the loss is entirely on your side.
So please ... go play Civ III instead of reposting drivel (on a cIV thread of all places) that noone here really cares about.
But I am done with this 'discussion', so feel free to commence your ranting and rambling anyway if you want (and I am guessing you do).
We must be reading the OPs post differently then. To me it seems that what the OP cared about when starting this thread was to get some advice on how to get his friend to play cIV with him.Apparently the OP (a Civ4er?) cares about it.

@ TA Jones
I would say you arguments have really hit an all time low lately and not civ4 mods.
What? You say bringing up the massive increase in the amount of tech related congestion Civ4 has expierenced vs civ3 and in only a fraction of the amount of time, is nit picking?.Smiddy said:I guess you had to nitpick something else about civ4 since now you can no longer claim you can play with more civs with civ3 than with civ4.
WHy? Cuz Fall from Heaven was changed so radically that it formed into a entirly differant gameIts like getting a complete brand new game for free! Heres the thing though, its nothing remotly civ like so how can this be a benfit to true civfans?

To me fantasy and civ are seprate entitys.
...
All im saying is its deceiving to count that great work done by a shining firaxis employee as a boost to the Civ4 modding concept as per say.
Its an totaly seprate game so you mine aswell go pick up diablo or some other cool adventure title and say its like CIv but more in a FFH way![]()
I never said the mods were bad I said tech complaints are eroding them.![]()
First take a look at the last full page of one of the greats Total Realism the double you pleasure mod of civ4
Or how bout The 2nd mod I drew out of the pile mainly for its large page number MaX Riga MOd ANother promising work . Not being sarcastic again, its Firaxis fault that tech issues are leaving the 4um's C+C hobby in doubt
On the main front you got to many posts (compared to civ3) talking about tech problems or patch complications. Some poor guy can't play large maps, some guy is getting CTD and some guy just cant get it to start. Its a reoccuring plague that spread across the entire forum.
Now lets flip to 'Rise n Rule', or much bigger Bigger 'Balancer Reloaded', 'Anno', or 'MEM'. You think these will be gettin basted with the same average of tech complaints to constructive critisms or missing/ EASILY FIXABLE mistake reports?
talking about localization, do you know how it was handled in civ3?
Each language had different unit folders and files, named after the translated name instead of keeping the english name.
This means that english mods are not compatible with german, french, spanish, italian etc. versions of civ3. And vice versa.
If you say there were less problems at that time you're ignoring a big part of them.
No?
