	New Images I never saw, makes me want this game more Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Looks like a great great game! I have faith in this one.

Can't believe I haven't seen some of those screenshots. I was away for a month... but oh well..

The one with the biplane in it, it has some of the old roman cities on the side. It's things like that, that will make Civ3 feel good for the people who have played Civ2 and I bet they will put things from Civ1 in it too.

Can't wait to play it, when's the release date again?

Playing a web wizard(I wont say who): "Official release date not confirmed yet. We will reveal it when we want to."(in his office afterwards: "Mister Devil, how long is it smart to wait before we have hurt them enough to set up the price?")

Evil, me??? No... Just a little mad... That's all.... Believe me!

C'mon at least buy the games that really matter...I dont care if you pirate a game like " Crappy 3-D Adventure 41254124 " but support the publishers of games you really like.

Sheesh . . . this is bad. Why do people think they have a right to steal just because they can't afford something (or feel ripped off). If you can't afford it, or if you don't find it worth your money, then don't buy it. Is it really that difficult?

Might as well start sharpening that ax, I doubt the game will actually happen before December (though there's always hope). A necessary evil in my mind, because the more development time, the more refined and polished the game is. Thought that is only valid to a point. Anything past February and I won't be a very happy camper either

If I could get free ones trust me I'd have all the games that are released... and no they're not free to pirate one you got to have one original don't you? and that costs some money donesn't it?

hehehe nice of you to say so but the truth is to get an original copy I'd probably have to spend 800 bucks on a plane ticket. now you up to it?



What ever you say guys I just don't have an option... and hell you even get those funky manuals and posters for a few extra bucks... don't blame me... blame the economy.... like ya lets do lunch

Lord Davinator- Since you're a member of the forum now maybe you can talk someone into letting you send them the money, buy it and ship it to you.

UberKrux- After the CTP fiasco (it refused to work) I never pre-order any game, and in fact, I always wait a month or two and watch the gaming forums to see how buggy the game is. You go ahead though, and let us know about the bugs.

Let's see, where you live there are:

CD-burners,
Printing machines for manuals,
Top-notch copy machines for the posters,
A thriving piracy-market that supplies all the latest games,
The latest computers to play these games on,
And internet connections to tell us all of this.

And yet there's no way at all that you can get a legal copy? Come on, that is either utter Yaksh*t or the best explanation I've ever read for the reason that some countries fail to develop a half-decent economy.

well pirated copies are a great way to erradicate abysmal games. you buy it, try it, it inevitably has bugs and you cannot patch it unless it is original (that is, not copy protected) and if the game is good you nevertheless go and buy the original.

still, i do not think that anyone who buys a pirated copy can be considered a true civ fan. if we want a first class product we shall be prepared to pay for it.

i must admit my civ1 was a pirate ( no way i could buy the copy legally, believe me, i simply had no channels), civ2 i already could so i did buy a proper one and never regretted it. i will buy civ3 as soon as it is out. for all the fun i got out of the civ 1 and 2, a humble total of 80 USD over 6 years is really not that much.


N.B. pirates do not print manuals. also, it may be kind of a hassle to send money orders from nepal, you know, not all the people happen to have credit or even cash cards....

Well that is the real truth

You don't get a whisp of it.

To tell you the truth the pirated things come from india or china... they don't make them here....the india pirates are better than the chinese ones cause the CD's are more reliable. hehehe

Oh and the originals don't get here cause I happen to be one of the fortunate people in my country. The internet connection is only in this city mind you and if you had to use it you'd probably go mad... takes ages to load this site itself...

thank you silver stars for no human rights movement in the early part of this century.... for the economy

Geeee at least someone understands... thumbs up for LaRusso

And I forgot to tell you that I did buy an original copy of civ2....had my dad buy it for me when he went to india a good 2-3 years ago I think... but guess what he bought me the civ2 senario CD hehehehee

Imagine me.... I got a CD of Civ2 but can't play the game... hehehe...one...

had to wait 2 months before they got the pirated one out... and I got fanastic worlds, scenario and the original all in one.

Oh and they really take some time getting stratagy games out... quake was out like in a week it was released... ctp2 got here only about a couple of weeks ago.

mummble jummble wonder how long it will take civ...

Hm, well I usually go to the US on business in November/December, so if they do not get it out by then I will either
a) have to order it through the Net and get my pitiful bank account robbed by cyberthiefs, wait 1 month for shipping, etc....
b) buy a pirated one (they are usually out in a week) - definitely NOT
c) wait until someone smartens up and distributes it in Hungary (they are really slow, EU is still not out)

Well, you at least are in Europe.

Here in Argentina, it will probably arrive earlier if they set the box drifting through the ocean than if i wait till it is released here.

And even then it is bound to cost around 100 bucks...

(I remember that my brother bought War 2 for 113 bucks about 6 years ago )
