those multi-maps were just a hindrance to the flow of gameplay, IMO.

As I posted in a thread at Civ3-General, Gamespot confirmed that Civ IV is on its way... it's official now, boys.

quote: Civilization IV confirmed Firaxis attributes devoted fans and sales of Civ III: Conquests as tipping points. One of PC gaming's most revered franchises is back--or at least, on the way. Responding to reports that Firaxis is not only deep into development of Pirates 2, but also prepping the next installment in its Civilization franchise. A Firaxis spokesperson confirmed to GameSpot today that, "We are in the early planning stages of Civilization IV ... truly the very beginning stages." The spokesperson pointed to high sales of the Civilization III expansion pack, Conquests, and interest noted among fan sites as being the primary reasons behind the studio's decision to go another round with the Civ franchise. "Based on sales of Civ III: Conquests, clearly, people continue to want more Civilization. As long as people continue to want more, we'll deliver."

It's encouraging that they're in such early stages, because it means we can still hope to influence the game.

So, MargG... when can we expect a Civ 4 Forum?

hehe, far from it... the point is, when you have more than one source reporting the same thing, there is a good probability that thing is true... Pure induction.

quote: Originally posted by Vince278 Hope we are not being premature. I'd like to see Master of Magic 2 and a new X-Com title (I believe Sid has the license for both).

CivIV... I wish I could say I can't wait, but the sad fact is, I can. Maybe I hyped myself up too much for CivIII. I even bought the tin for double the price of the standard edition. No amount of brushing has removed the bad taste from my mouth. I seem to have failed to buy either expansion.

As for X-Com, I was a devoted fan from UFO Enemy Unknown up to Apocalypse. It just got silly from then on. There was the promise of X-Com Genesis, but that never materialised.

My future prediction is: expect rushed, half finished franchise milkers, not innovation.

I agree, and I'm glad with that, too. I'd much rather see them take as long as possible. With the upcoming C3C patch, possibly one more after that, I can easily see myself waiting till 2006.

Hey, what's this talk about Pirates II? That was one of my favorite games for Amiga, and also for my Mac Powerbook 100 until I aquired Civ1. Hey, that must have been 12-15 years ago.

Will Pirates II be covered by 'Poly? It's a strategy game originally designed by Sid after all...

This is indeed great news but I just now started enjoying Conquests, isn't a little pre mature?

Main point will be not to rush Civ IV. It is better they take their time with it, they should by now know that it will save them from a lot of headaches and after sales damage control!

So long...

PS: What about Colonization II, that would be a very interesting game indeed.

about Apolyton covering Pirates II

quote: Originally posted by Asmodean Question has already been asked and answered......with a no! Asmodean

I suspect it isn't quite an absolute no, since they gave a definite no about MOO, but then later put it on.

What blew me away was that they asked if they should cover SimGolf of all things!!!

I would rather see Col.II and SMAC.II, than CivIV.
But if they actually make it more realistic and less silly than CivIII, the original... go ahead and make it!

(then I must add that Civ3 got far better with PTW and Conquest)


This time, they should consider the community's suggestions!

Well I would rather have hoped on a SMAC 2...
hope the make it a 3dworld(hate a round planet being drawn as a board) and make the turns simultanios så the outcome is a little depended of which place in the order you are.

I loved the multi-map feature in ToT!

CtP did it quite well, IMHO, and if you incorporate everything good in CivIII, ToT, and SMAC they'd certainly get my business...
