Funny thing is... Yin doesn't trust good reviews, but bad reviews are fact  .
Some other quotes:
quote:
While I have dedicated several paragraphs to detailing what I found wrong with Civilization III, there is a lot here to like. When taken as a whole, the game is still very fun to play and quite addicting -- just not as much as some long time fans may have hoped. |
quote:
This section is actually a bit difficult to rate, as it took me quite some time to play a successful game on the third level of difficulty -- Reagent. That said, Civilization III comes with six levels of difficulty and there is a noticeable difference between them as you progress along the scale. For example, on Warlord (level two) the computer players are not very aggressive towards you and tend to place cities in poor locations -- even doing so within pockets of your empire not covered by your Culture. However, when you step up to Reagent, the computer players become a lot more savvy: Their city placement becomes much better, they become more aggressive, and because of the bonuses they receive to production, it becomes much harder to keep up. Needless to say, Civilization III doesn't break the tradition of challenging gameplay for players of all skill levels. If there was one annoy point about the AI, it would be that the computer players often make ridiculous demands during diplomacy, while generally offering nothing in return. |

Sorry man, but for me it will NEVER pass. I love the idea, I love that they used it, and I love that they included a normalising effect to stop it from becomming stupid.

it was with deep interest that I viewed the "negative" areas of the first Review. |
Thats how everyone seems to be looking at the reviews. They're desperate for an excuse not to like the game it seems.
quote:
Still unrealistic battle results, |
Its not unrealistic. The chances of entrenched warriors, in a fort, at the top of a mountain killing modern infantry soldiers is actually pretty high. Doesn't bother me unless it's too extreme. ( IE -AI has lucky day, sacks your metropolis with a legionaire ). What with the outrageous bonuses by the end of the game ( city wall = 50%, entrenched = 50%, Metropolis = 100%. Mech infantry with a defense of 60 anyone......... I hated that in CTP I could NEVER win against a more advanced unit.
quote:
unavoidable city corruption, |
Say it all doesn't it? UNAVOIDABLE. You're damn right. You can't stop the crime element, only put it down slightly. The richer your city the more will be lost via nefarious means.
quote:
poor screen scrolling, |
Probably because they've done away with the irritating pain-in-the-ass feature POP-Up CTP had. ( you;'re scrolling, you can't see anything, you pause and suddenly POP, there are your cities and units. Can't see anything as you move. There will naturally be some slowdown because of the correction of this.
quote:
frequent city starvation, |
Good. I don't want metopolises in the friggint dessert! You should be able to 'make a go of it#' no matter where your city was. Otherwise you could just build it in te middle of a mountainrange and ferry food there turn after turn.
quote:
modern era boredom, |
Where have you been? The modern era is boring. All that happens is every so often someone builds a giant army and tries to take over the world with it, and fails. All that happens in the modern age in reality is that someone gets a really big army and conquers maybe two cities or so. The modern age is a conflict of science and diplomacy my friend.
quote:
Wonder Movies reduced to name a few.. |
We were told they were out entirely. I'm just glad they're in at all.
quote:
that and Minimun System Requirements is a P2-300 !!! |
You honestly telling me you don't have that. Hell if you've bought a half decent computer in the last half a decade you'll have that.
quote:
Well,, I'll buy it.. but I'm not going to be deleting Civ2 just yet.. |
Well I won't be giving up on Civ3 just yet either. "And don't you roll your eyes at ME young man!"
