Was that you and "Julio" down by the school yard?

Sorry.

You'd better be sorry, dojoboy. It's against the law, what Mama saw. So don't talk about it

I guess I'm #33.

Hi Henrik,

I have to agree with you here ! Whilst I've really enjoyed playing Civ3 (as I am at the moment, on one of my Macs) I keep going back to some of the great Civ2 scenarios (Cross & Crescent, Second Front, Cruel Sea, Great Napoleonic Battles, etc) and realise how much I miss all this in Civ3...

If things carry on the way they are (i.e. no Mac Civ3 editor) I can see myself going back to playing Civ2 pretty much exclusively.

Fruno

I've pretty much turned my back at civ3 allready, I still play and develop scenarios for civ 2 however, and I still play PBEMs and online MP against PC users with it...
Maybe we'll finnally finnish off that mac scenario database too sometime ;o

34?

I have as a principle not to respond to silly threads like this so I won't.
("Hold on, someone wants to tell me something" "Hey, whisper, whisper")
Ohh, foiled again. Now if it wasn't for the four kids and the dog.....

P.S. Returned to Civ 2. Apart from borders I still have problems seeing the "improvements" in Civ 3 as improvements.

Indeed ! I have a few that I'm getting ready to post soon...

 

[K-Man]

I believe I'm #35

 

[elpadrino87]

#36

I see the multiplayer as a bonus(not that it wouldn't be fun), all i really want are the new units and any other improvements to Civ 3. still using 9.0, but i'll probably upgrade when i have enough money to upgrade, or when PTW comes out for mac, which ever comes first.

 

[elpadrino87]

i just checked out the official civ 3 website, where it said that PTW for mac is "coming soon" . I really hope this is true. anyways, would they really say that if they weren't going to make it?

 

[dojoboy]

Yep, elpadrino87 is right! Below is the excerpt for PTW at Civ3.com

__.:: Pentium 300 mhz
__.:: 32 megs of ram
__.:: 100 megs hd
__.:: 4X CD-Rom
__.:: DirectX 7 vid. card
__.:: 1024x768 Req.
__.:: Windows
__.:: Mac coming soon

Great reporting, elpadrino87! Perhaps, some publicity here could spark a statement by MacSoft.

Could be good. However, until I hear it from the guys at MacSoft themselves, I'm going to assume it was either a clerical error or a cruel joke.

Raijer - I bought Mac Civ today @ Amazon, as a matter of fact, so thought I may well check in now.
Edited: to add number...
#37

 

[Ogre]

#38 - Back to Civilization after a long hiatus in Baldur's Gate.

 

[jessewclark]

#39 here. New to these parts.

Just came around since I couldn't find a mac-specific forum at Apollyton.

Not to start an argument, just my two cents, I like Civ III better than Civ II. So far. I do miss some things from SMAC, though.

Not to bash Apolyton, or those who post in above forum, but I've been there ... and no one is home - so to speak.

#40 - n8mac

 

[Henrik]

True the macers of apolyton usually hang around in the PC forumae, mostly as creation, mp and sp is all the same for bot platforms (atleast for civ 2, though I can't imagine it varies much in civ 3 either).

Smaller classroom!

BTW Henrik, the Civ2 Mac Download page is awesome. I'm going to reinstall Civ2 today and try some of the scenerios out. Did a couple of them come w/ the MGE?

Man, I can't wait for the editor.

I think all the Mac Civ2 scenarios me and henrik had agreed to post (after Thunderfall originally agreed to a separate Mac Civ2 downloads collection ) were made after MPGE came out (if that's what you mean).

I was looking at the list of Mac scenarios this very afternoon in fact, and there's easily 40+ we still should post there ! Henrik !? [Time to put on the green eyeshades and boot-up ZipIt... ]
