Its just like the good ol days again!

[PriestOfDiscord]

From a mod consumer's standpoint, it certainly seems like the good old days.

I know I personally switched to Civ 4 as soon as it came out and tried sticking to it for a while but the fact that a) it chugs hard on all but the most cutting edge of computers and b) it is much harder to mod for than the previous civs (something I would really like to get into) made it not the best experience for me. The time this thread was created was about the time I reinstalled Civ 3 and found all the old mods I loved so much (made by many people in this thread) are still alive and kicking. It made me realize there is still years of entertainment left in my Civ 3 discs. And with all the graphics still being pumped out at a regular clip, there is plenty of material to start thinking about serious modding myself.

I have a copy of the orginal civ for the Super Nintendo.

That's where I got my Civ start as well. I was addicted from then on, buying CivII afterwards for the Playstation, and then CivIII for PC. Though, as addicted as I am to Civ, I never bought CivIV. I don't think I have time for it till I'm done modding CivIII.

Hi,
The same happened to me, I don't like civ4, and in special its graphics, after playing for few months to civ4 I got tired and came back to my civ3 and I decided to begin unit creation. I don't like internet forums too much so I registered only when I finished my first unit.
My father've just given me an old Nintendo Advance, there is a Civ version for nintendo??

 

[Supa]

"old" Nintendo Advance ? Game Boy Advance ?

Amesjustin >

 

[odintheking]

Nah, there's no civ for Gsme Boy Advance (although I bet they're working on one for the DS, there is already an AoE) but I'd highly reccomend any zelda game boy game (they will all work on GBA) . My preference is Oracle of Seasons.

 

[Quinzy]

i was always for of Oracle of Ages myself..

 

[odintheking]

Never played it.

 

[Ares de Borg]

I'm getting old.

 

[Storm Grunt]

I'm getting old.

Yeah, me too, but I'll never grow up.

 

[odintheking]

I'm still young. Registered at age 11, .

 

[Stormrage]

C`mon guys.. growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional, remember that?

Speaking of the good old days.. wha do you think Kinboat is doing now?

 

[odintheking]

Getting money for doing 3d stuff?

 

[Stormrage]

He was here a couple of days ago, says so in his profile. I wonder why didn`t he stop to say hi..

 

[Quinzy]

two months isn't a couple of days, stormie
i hope to god he comes back.

 

[Stormrage]

Whoops, my mistake

I hope he comes back too, him and ED, and all the guys that are gone

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Yea, though most of the great unit making prophets such as Kinboat, Embryodead, Muffins and Dom Pedro II have left these forums, the three, namely UtahJazz7, Aaglo and Wyrmshadow remain with us.

Also, there are the faithful disciples, namely Quinzy, Supa, MoscaTNT, LizardmenRule, Orthanc, Flamand, and myself and others who have taken up their mantle and continued the great work of Civ III modding.

 

[Stormrage]

And you are doing a mighty fine job, while we are at it!

And CamJH is back!

Oh, and BTW, I wasn`t talking just about the unit makers

EDIT: DarkSheer is gone again

 

[Virote_Considon]

So... Anyone want to try and "revive" someone? I'm sure there's some ancient Sumerian text that can only conviniently be read by a current member of the Civ3 C&C, that will tell us the exact way to revive the said person's intrest in civ 3 C&C...

 

[odintheking]

I found the ancient unit maker's ressurection text!

For those Creators whom we seek,
a newborn's blood must be spilt;
A sacrifice from the meek.
On the eigth day of the seventh month of the sixth year,
one will come back, because of the smell of our devotion and fear.
He will demand riches and gold,
then the creations will unfold

-Plato

So it's not Sumerian. Sue me. Basically, we (the meek; i.e. hungry mod makers) need to sacrifice a noob (headchopperz, anyone?) and on july 8th, a former unit maker will come back, and will demand lots of money. If we pay him, he will make more units for us, .

 

[Stormrage]

What if we sacrifice Headchopperz and Kingkannon? How much $ we talkin` about?
