Off Topic DO NOT BUY CIV 3

[Atrocities]

Mark P, don't come here and flame please. Stay at STC.

yeah, this is a flame free board, lets keep it that way. I had to smile when Growltigga was being concerned over the smack-talk being moderated in the US v UK thread. this is probably the most mature forum on the net, and people handle friendly and even heated discourse very well. dont drag immature @#%$ like that into it.

Growltigga, don't have much time, having xmas at in-laws, if wife finds me on computer, " coal for xmas", heh, heh, I agree about Gor, I began to wonder if he had something against women from the way the story line got lost and he paid more attention to women slaves, right on about Baen, I keep cking to see if more chapters are posted, no luck, leaves you in lurch and hungering for the book, have nice holiday, oooppps wife calling me, gotta go.

ps; the thing that makes this board great is that it is kept Flame Free, open discussions are encouraged and you are free to disagree with whomever, but no flaming, that's what ruins other Boards. Fun Banter if ok

just some ideas mac

Atrocities: Sorry for the flame, I’ve should have said, did Sid kill your dog or what! Why so much anger? it gives the impression that you think Sid did this on purpose. And by the way you got some very good ships sets. Add keep up the good work and sorry for the flame.

What is STC anyway???

It's ok Mark, no Sid did not kill my dog, but he drove me to kill my cat. J/K

After playing the game for a month, and finding new and disappointing things about it each and every time I played, I began to grow frustrated with it.

The topper was that stupid face the Military adviser makes whenever one of your cities falls.

In my case, I had betten the Brits back to 12 cities, and out of now where came massive amounts of british spear chuckers and despite my city defenses, (Tanks - Riflemen) they took the cities with no losses. That realy angered me, but when they would took 15 or so of my cities in one turn, I lost it. The game came out of the cd tray, and went strait into the "Give To Good Will" draw. I uninstalled the game, and went down and bought Empire Earth. (EE is a nice game so far.)

Even with the Civ3 editor, patched, the game still was not right. I loved the AI, and the diplomacy of the game, and would consider them to be top notch if not for the games lack of user control and customizability. Hell, Aaron is only one guy, and his game has nearly everything one could want, so why couldn't the hardend team at Civ3 produce a game to rock all games?

Civ3 was a major dissapointment to me, and I felt that it was something that people should know before they bought it. From the Posts in this thread, those who have the game, it would appear that I was not alone in my frustration with this game.

If you like, then I am very happy for you. Please accept that I was not happy with it, and chose to voice my opinion as such.

And welcome to the board.

Atrocities: I hate to tell you, but the Empire Earth AI cheats too. Flagrently. (heck, the scenerio editor has a box on the AI settings tha says "AI cheats?" so you can say yes/no)

Yes I know, , But I have a compensator. If needed, CHEAT CODES.
