Civ 3 fun to play?

Your sence of fun is not what I would call mine.

Well I will give the game this, it does have long term, IE 24 hour addictive play, the fact that the AI can take out 16 tanks with 5 musketmen just ruined the game for me.

Granted there are mods like the power bar and such that help the game emensly, they are poorly supported now, and many do not work since the latest patch.

The game had good AI Political settings. Good looking graphics, but the uneveness of the units just was one major thing I could not overcome. The editor helped though. But that was very time consuming.

Atrocities, can I ask you why you have such a hard on for Civ III?? I read your post about you playing and the negative feedback about the uneven play. But, hey, that was a year ago. Have you played it lately, with the latest patch?

Still play MOO2 on occasion. And Civ3 but not very much. Civ2 more and even CivNet and Civ1 wich is the one game that made me buy a PC!
I still think Civ1 (or CivNET) is a very good game and I play it a couple of times every year.
Never played BOTF though, or any other ST game, yet,

(And no, don't feel sorry for me I have a real life too

)

Wow, Capnq, you still have the old Civilization board game! That's probably a relatively valuable collectors item by now. I've heard the new Civilization board game (based on the computer game!) is pretty good. The problem is finding enough people to play (one of the great advantages of internet gaming).

"Relatively" is the key word.

A quick search on eBay found a copy with a current bid of $51, and a package of Civilization + Advanced Civilization with a current bid of $11.49.

I've been collecting non-computer games (mostly board wargames) since I was 13. I stopped trying to count them sometime after the collection broke 240 titles. I have a list of the titles and publishers for both my computer and non-computer games; the .txt file is 10K.

Capnq, And I thought I went through a long wargame phase! I had about two dozen. AH games mostly. So where did you find room to store all those games? I was forced to eventually throw mine out.

At the moment, they're in 5 large cardboard boxes, a footlocker, and a couple open stacks in the corner of the bedroom. Most of the games in the stacks used to be in the drawers of a spare dresser.

The game collection doesn't take up nearly as much space as my books. I don't have any roommates, so I can get away with stacks of boxes around the apartment.

Has anyone gotten the Civ3 Play the World addon? If so how is it?

I played Stars!, MOO and MOO2 quite a bit. I also played Emperor of the Fading Suns (it's still on my HD but I wil probably have to re-install it for it to work). But my favorite game series is the X-Com series. I am seriously considering re-installing X-Com Apocalypse one of these days.
