Any One Here Still Play

After discovering PBW when I am not doing a turn I spend my game time thinking up new tactics. Tried civ III, but no AI matches playing against a real person.

BTW What's BOTF?

I gave up on BOTF (Bored Of The Federation: Star Trek Infrastructure).
It just wasn't my thing. I get my Micro Management kicks at work. A lot of the 4X games don't have stress events often enough. It all seems like a big MM set piece that ends with an overwhelming victory.

I have been playing MOO 1. Now that game allows for frequent action without killing resource growth. SEIV also flows like that.

I have been playing STARS! multiplayer also. It can have some frequent stress points, but.... building and playing with your toys will really put your economy behind.

Good idea. Although I suggest you don't let anyone else play. It can lead to intense rivalry and if you happen to be the slightly inferior player can lead to intense frustration that causes controler to become dammage after high speed impact with wall.

A couple of you mentioned Civ III. Does anyone have the expansion pack, multi-player, Civ III: Play the World?? I would be interested, as I haven't got it yet!

VAL, yeah I use to play both MAX I & MAX II. Sure are sorry they stopped supporting it. Might still be playing it!!

I still think that BotF was one of those potential blockbuster games that was just too buggy to Last. I was heavily involved in many of the early modding of that game, and modified a lot of textures for the ships using textures 'ripped' from other games. Unfortunately, the memory leak wrecked the game.

There are still some BotF Groups out there, working on mods, but their updates are far and few in between.

For me to buy Civ 3 PTW is contingent on wether or not some of the late game lagging has been dealt with. It really blew to be using a high end machine, and having the game take a few minutes to process the turn of just a few AI.

Still have and play at times MOO2 and Pax Imperia and Imperium Galactica II. I still have BOTF but it would crash after awhile (memory leak?). Decent game but just a bit too buggy IMHO.
