Re: OT: Civ3 rant from MoO3 v GalCiv topic
stop over analyzing everything I say.
I stand by my view that Civ3, while not a great game, is certainly a good game.
You obviosly have a different view.

Is it a coincidence all three have been made by Brian Reynolds with S.M. name on it for marketing purpose only ? Civ3 was the first game by S.M. after Brian left...

And this is exactly why SM needs to be forcibly retired. He has lost his ability to make good games. |

SM never made good games. Brain Reynolds did. SM just put his name on them.

Just to "smooth" down my previous post - SM did make good games : Pirates (One of the best games ever IMHO) and Civ-1 (even better !). But then he either lost the plot or decided to live on royalties (the later would be my explanation) :{

Re: OT: Civ3 rant from MoO3 v GalCiv topic
When you talk about the stealth being either "1 or 0" I have to interject and say that I remember seeing modifiers in the the editor that allowed you to chnage how it worked.
I liked Civ3, but there are flaws that I hated.
