I own the mac version of civ3 don't know if that makes any difrence but i'd mention it anyway just in case.

I have been looking around through all of the supporting files for Civ3 and found this file called "play the world.txt"
it contained typically the text labels for a menu, but it had options like "get the Game of the week" and error msg like "cannot conect to server"

also i found this file named "script.txt" wich contained more suggestions for multyplayer support, aswell as a sugestion that the game was sepose to support more languages than english.

I looked into more txt files and i can find left overs from a game that seported multyplayer all over the place!

You know what pisses me off most; if they decided in one point in devolepment to split the game into 2 and sell one half of the features as a expansion pack, they should have removed all those things that suggest there was more to the game.

Why can't they create a complete game and then add an expansion pack that actually expands to the game? At the very least they could have made it so that it feels like a complete game, and make sure we'd never kow it was't unless you've got acces to the compagny's "secret files".

I really don't mind them cheating on me, as long as i don't find out!

Fireaxes isn't the only one doing it, if you own Diablo2 and its expansion you'd know, it too was one game but they just ripped a part out to sell it later as an expansion. But at least Blizzard put some effort into making sure you wouldn't get to know untill the expansion was about to come out. :(

yeah i know i saw it too.....but what can we do?buy the PTW be silent dont give critic and play the game

I don't agree, we should let all game makers, publishers, and marketing ppl in the world know we discust those tactics!
No, we should drive them NUTS with complaints, i hate to do that to someone but it appears its the only methode!

Boycotting is not an option becouse then we wouldn't get the game at all, but be silent is even worse of an option becouse then we'd just allow them to go on!
