Off Topic DO NOT BUY CIV 3

[Atrocities]

Well the latest patch was released recently, and the game has progressed from very annoying do not buy to "hey this kinda fun" ok to buy.

The Expansion pack has been announced and it promises to make a lot more improvements. So what the hell, I have upgraded my "Do Not Buy" "Buy if your really board"

Heh... what'd I say months ago? Development of any signifigant program is now completed in public. DON'T BUY FIRST RELEASES -- unless you want to finance development.

I figured that Civ III would be a pretty decent program about a year after release. Looks like it's on track. When MOO III is released in public beta I'll buy Civ III.

What? They will make us pay more money for the most important feature (MP) that should have been in the initial release? Ridiculous!

Edit:

...for the first time in a Civilization game, a turnless mode. Civilization game fans around the world can now face off in short, fast-paced games like Elimination, Regicide and Capture the Flag...

That is just sickening.

...complete game editor and scenario support...

Yet another lacked feature in the release that crippled the game IMO.
