	Firaxis' "Real" plans for Civ3 multiplayer Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

It appears that Civ3 won't be shipping with multiplayer. Speculate on what kinds of interesting plans Firaxis has for multiplayer after the release.

1. After purchase, civ3 box kidnaps you at night and takes you to a huge arena, where you will fight to the death with other hapless civ3 players. Those playing the hacked version will be fed to lions.

2. Firaxis introduces "virtual" multiplayer. Use your imagination to pretend that you can add other players from around the world to the game.

3. Firaxis staff actually controls all computer opponents in single-player game without letting anyone know. You'll wonder why the computer is so darned hard on Diety level.

4. Multiplayer is included, but unfortunately it forces you to play Age of Empires.

5. Game ships with hypnotic/pornographic materials so you forget about/don't care about multiplayer

6. You download the multiplayer patch, but it erases your hard drive and displays the message "h4w h4w! j00 h4v3 b33n hax0r3d by N4p0l30n!" (ah, leetspeak)

7. Instructions on multiplayer read "start a game and a civ. Take one turn. Let your friend take a turn. Continue until game is over"

8. When you start game, it connects to the internet and something called "Civ3 Massively Multiplayer Strategy Game Server"

9. Firaxis tries to pass Civnet off as Civ3

10. A jewel box with the words "Multiplayer add-on" on the label. When you open the box, the CD has the words "Sucker!" printed on it.

This won't work.
Those with hacked version won't have civ3 BOX,
they will have only civ3 pirated disc.

Nice one, Mahdimael!

5,9 and 10 were the best ones (IMO). *hick*

At least you don't lack imagination.

Thanks for the acclaim, folks I guess the work-addled mind can come up with some pretty demented stuff.

In this case, the box will not abduct them- the Super Secret Crack Infrogames Submission Squad will be sent out.


I would hope that the Firaxians wouldn't be too upset. They know I em. It's all in good fun (at their expense, admittedly. Perhaps if they didn't provide us with this ammunition... )

Number 7 sounds almost as I played Civ2 multiplayer with my friends in the beginning.

1. Restart until you get two settlers.

2. Take one settler and allow the friend to use the other one.

3. Name all cities with the beginning of one letter for you and another for your friend.

4. Make sure that you can cover your expenses with your cities, if not have some diplomacy with your friend and try to solve the problem.

5. Use all saved money for things decided together.
