	Look, its just a freaking game people Tired of ads?

I think some of us have a lost a bit of perspective. This game has taken years to produce but at the end of the day its just a computer game. A bit of fluff really, a diversion. A bit of fun at best.

It won't change your life, it won't solve your personal problems, it won't give you a hug, its certainly not the meaning of life. It might be good, it might not. Them's the breaks.

Remember we still have civ 1 and civ 2 so I'm not that worried if its a dog.

Unrealistic expectations can only ruin your enjoyment

AH is correct. We are talking entertainment here, not anything really important in our lives

I have no expectations... I will judge the game when I play it.
And as AH says, if it sucks, I will continue playing CivII MP.

While I hope it's good, it doesn't really matter one way or another. It won't be the end of the world if it's bad

So everybody should really just lighten up and not take this too seriously.

So Keep on Civin' (one way or another)

The average person only posts a few minutes or so a day. Since the civ3 fanbase is so big on Apolyton, it all combines to make us look like obsessive freaks. Which, of course, we aren't.

While I have no doubt that YOU may not be an "obessive freak", after reading through all the threads... many are

If that's the case, Horse, why did you make all those useless suggestions a while back? A thinly veiled spamming spree?

To troll or spam.

Life must be tough AH

It's been confirmed, in CivIII you will be able to build cities on mountains.

No cities on mountains. Only fortresses and colonies.

Yet again, a god has spoken. I don't really care whether cities are allowed on mountains or not because I would never build them there anyway. No matter what, it's good to get a little information (no matter how insignificant it is).

Oh, Jeff, BTW: Are you in the civ3.com loop? If so, can you give us any idea at all about when the site is coming? It's early August and still no site

Maybe a colony wouldn't have pop and grow but it could extract resources from, maybe three squares? And maybe it could be able to extract from more squares with technology or such.

Check out the soon to be Old Firaxis Civ3 Page for a tutorial on resources/colonies. It'll goes over the basics for you.

You have to read close, rah declared as "fact" that cities could be built on mountains, he came in to dispute it. It's a few posts above Jeff's.

Scary how a post from this thread that had little releavnace to the main thread gets noticed. The moderators must either be:

a) omnipotent
b) machines
c) highly obsessed with the site enough to check it every time a post is made.

If its c, I'd cackle to hear that somebody woke up to read this post. Anyhow, I broke out of the Civ3 infro cycle a while ago, and now, well, if Civ3 comes tomorrow, good for it. If not, well there's tons of other stuff to do anyhow.

Last time I checked, MarkG was the moderator of this forum, and he hasn't posted yet
On the other hand, I think it's great that Jeffrey Morris posted... just more proof they pay attention to what is posted here... no matter what the thread subject
