CIV 4 Expected To Be No 1

[Garry Meyer]

Experiencing CIV I, CIV II, CIV III, and Conquest have done nothing but out do each other far more than anyone expected. CIV IV will have to top those advances. I expect to see the creation of games off the editor so easy to do that even the cheftain's will use it proficiently. Then I expect to see more clarity to all the graphics without having to go out and buy a new computer to play it. I want to see more unit choices. And for the players I hope to see some pretty good scenerios. Please, In my opinon - No Wizards with magic things. CIV is a game of reality, not some wizard creating valcano's like in E.E.

My Prayers are: Better unit choices when building your own games. Better roads, bridge making and highways by settlers that advance into engineers. Some better choices of air & sea units, Like the WW II Japan scenerio but has air transports, better modern technology advancements such as the radar system getting better after the eras technology grows and have a mandatory era or time lapse to upgrade units or they vanish. I'd like to know how ancient ships with canyons can see a modern sub and fire on it yet alone sink it under curtain conditions. Another words after so much time has past that piece must upgrade itself or it goes to a museum or vanishes.

I like to see different types of resources. The mines have better looks than an ugly pill box. Have some cool cruise missiles launch from ships. Tomahawks launch from subs and get to watch them travel would be fantastic.

And go back to the movies as we did before when we won an era advancement. Those were nice.

I'd get a kick just to hear what others expect to see in the New CIV IV.

You know whats awesome though? Your right, the editor will be real user friendly and anything we don't like, we'll be able to change! Thats what makes civ better than any other game, the mod flexibility! So awesome...

I agree with the issue of modding. It is very difficult for those of us not too proficient with programming skills and not enough time. It would be an excellent and helpful addition to the game a simple system in which we could add further units, graphics, techs, leaders, eras, etc... hope Firaxis makes this feature available...

They would be crazy not to. Its cool now, but too difficult. It takes a long time when your first learning. But they must know how big modding is, so they should spend close to as much time on the editor as on the game itself!

 

[Tholish]

Yeah. It could be awesome, but only if we make sure and provide timely guidance. I fear this 3D thing will impair modding, a major strength. We'll see.

I read your response and it's great. But I'd rather have an editor more user friendlier than have graphics with a 3 D image. This game has excelled this far without 3D and lets face the facts. The editor made this game and the editor will take this game over the top as the best built game ever.

If the editor isn't upgraded to a user friendly ability then sales will surely decline. No dealt about it.
