Off Topic DO NOT BUY CIV 3

[Phoenix-D]

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.

I think I am the only person who has not played any of the civ games.

When I first saw the game I thought. Gee no space, no armies, no play. And I have stuck to my guns. I have tried civ and civ type games,,,, I can't stand them, Don't know why. Just never liked them. And since I am over 30 I will not change my ways

I know this is off topic for the off topic do not buy civ 3

but the other day I reinstalled BOTF.

50 turns later the game was removed.

That game sucked.

BOTF is a game that you have to spend time to learn. The AI sucked, and some of the other features did too. Over all, when I first bought it, it angered me greatly, but after a few weeks, the game grew on me.

Now, I view BOTF as one of those games that should have been supported, but was not, and that is our loss, and is why micrprose no longer holds any Star Trek licences.

yep.. more of the same. in CIV 1, little settlers, or colonists, or whatever the heck they were would repeatedly destroy my battleships. the CIV games have always been in the bad habit of taken a defeated AI and somehow screwing with their unit statistics to make their outdated pissy units both numerous and undefeatable. its really frustrating, i have given up on CIV. amazingly, SMAC did not cheat that way and was a fairly solid game.. dispite the fact that the game play was exactly the same as CIV and it was just more of the same (with a unit editor, if you want to call it that).

and as Mark P said: what the heck is STC?

Well, I got my Civ III for Christmas. I don't have any problems with it other than its just more of the same I also find the new interface to be cumbersome.
