Default Re: Off Topic DO NOT BUY CIV 3

I didn't read the entire thread, but i just wanted to say some good things about civ3, it has bugs off course but,

1. The game never crashed on my computer, i have W98, SE4 OTOH crashed several times, even after the first couple of patches.

2. Firaxis are clearly committed to fixing the game, i remember that when the first patch came out, some people with W XP(or was it W2k?) were having problems, some guys at Firaxis worked overtime to get it fixed, and released an updated patch one or two days later.

3.While i was playing the game, i never noticed any of the bugs mentioned and very much enjoyed the game, i probably would have noticed the air superiority bug, but i never got that far.

4. The AI is the best i've ever seen, the AI-players are loyal, if you treat them right they treat you right, unless you're close to winning the game, then they all gang up on you (nobody likes to lose). They also attack with a lot of units, making it dangerous to keep a static defense.

Off course, all of this is my own experience, other people have found flaws in the AI, but i choose not to read them, just to keep me from exploiting that flaw.

One thing i am dissapointed in is the limited modding ability.
