The end of Civ3 is now here.

[DanGo]

Forunately, I don't have the computer to run Civ4! Until I upgrade my computer I won't play civ4! I'm so happy !

But the replacement of attack and defense with just Strangth is STUPID!!!!

 

[The Last Conformist]

I've not seen the system in action (yet), but I think it sounds good, actually. I never liked CivIII's segregation of units into offensive and defensive ones.

(Why I went with it in the Maya scen, you ask? Craven adherence to tradition and what players expect, I'm afraid, along with the fact it's not trivial to make the AI play competently if you differ from the format it expects.)

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Dom Pedro II is gone, Civarmy is gone, Aaglo is gone, Kinboat is gone, Utahjazz just released his last unit. For creators only Bjorn, Wyrmshadow, Orthanc, Hikoro Torayama and myself are still around. And out of all of them, I'm the only one who consisitantly will be making human units.

So this is it, like it or not, Civ3 is now dying.

err....forgetting someone aren't we ?

 

[The Last Conformist]

BTW, I think utahjazz7 promised egroen a unit or two.

 

[Supa]

err....forgetting someone aren't we ?

I think too

When CivIII is dead, it will be obvious to all, and nobody will need make a thread about it. For now, it's alive.

Agreed. As a matter of fact, The release of Civ4 may be one of the best thing that could have happened to Civ3 Creation&Customisation Forum. People like me who have drop the game years ago will discovered all the possibilities of modding it for the first time. Like me thet will be dazzle and astonished by the whole new world that is opening to them. Like me, they will say: I have do my part! Like me, they will try to explore every parcels of this new world and playing Civ4 will be completely vanished from treir intentions.
The truth is it will give us a whole new arrival of fresh brains! mmmhh... brains... brains...

Rejoice Civ3 Creation&Customisation Community!! the Renaissance have begun!! hé! hé!

Civ3 is dead? Strangely, I gave my modded version of Civ III to 4 people today (the game was in several magazines recently and a lot of people bought it). I've still hundreds of units on disk that I can put in the game. Anno Domini will be released soon. SOE will be released soon.

If Civ 3 is dead, it is still dancing.

If Civ 4 requires 3D Studio Max to make new units there is a good chance alot of unit makers will continue to make units for Civ 3 the cost of 3D
StudioMax is very prohibitive if you arnt making models professionally.

 

[The Omega]

Well, I'm gonna stick with civ3 for a while, and even though I have no modding skills, me and Bluemofia are starting to work together to make stuff, so have hope! There's still people making stuff out there!

 

[Chris85]

I'll still be sticking with Civ3 until probably next spring. By then I should have a new computer powerful enough to play it and modding should be figured out by then and hopefully unit making will be less expensive.

Unfortunately I haven't a whole lot of free time anymore to work on the Star Wars Mod and I've also lossed some interest in doing it along with some of the other people working on it as well. Hopefully we can still eventually make a Star Wars Mod and not have all of that work go to waste.

BTW, do we have to use 3dsmax to make units for Civ4? I mean, is it possible we could use or make another program that exports to the 3dsmax format? Because if we have to shell out a ton of cash to make units, there won't be many people making units (including me) and that would suck.

CIV 3 IS NOT DEAD AS LONG AS THERE ARE STILL MODDERS AROUND! Geez, I'm so tired of these threads. It really gets old after the 4th or 5th one, . Sure, it won't be as busy as it once was, but look at the civ2 forums. There are new mods still being made, even after 9 years! Besides, are there any civ 4 mods yet? From what I've seen, civ 4 will be Hell to mod if you don't have the cash for high-end 3d programs. There's still Star Wars: A New Mod, Anno Domini, LotM and a bunch of halfway done scenarios to get through, then this forum might quiet down.

 

[The Omega]

Ya know, I bet if someone went digging in the civ2 threads, you would find one labeled "The end of Civ2 is now here."

 

[ShiroKobbure]

the fact that people are commenting here on the civ 3 thread proves its not dead, now lets stop wasting the time, and mod, and create! ^o^///

 

[The Omega]

Oy...... I think I'm gonna stick with civ3 for a long time to come.... I was looking at the cIV Creation adn Customization forum, and from what I can tell, modding is so freakingly complicated, involving programming skills and multiple layers of programs..... Whatever happened to "The simpliest way is the best"?

 

[MarineCorps]

Why are you so eager to decalre civ3 dead SoG?

 

[I am the Future]

I have high hopes that civ 3 will be around for at least the next 6 months.
But it is true that Civ 3 is in its final days, and has been for the past 5 months, truth be told i joined Civ Fanatics Center, with hopes of leaarning more about Civ 4 back in may. It renewed my interest in Civ 3 and now has me clinging to it(and the OT)

 

[RoboPig]

Dom Pedro II is gone, Civarmy is gone, Aaglo is gone, Kinboat is gone, Utahjazz just released his last unit. For creators only Bjorn, Wyrmshadow, Orthanc, Hikoro Torayama and myself are still around.

to those who are gone- i salute you
and to those of you who will still be around- thanks for keeping civ3 alive.

 

[Stormrage]

Tnx guys for staying. As for those other dudes... BRING THEM BACK! Use force if needed... Civ3 will live forever on my computer! Viva Civ3! Viva mods!
