Any Carthaginians reading this get in contact with me and we'll discuss terms for your travel back to your own time. Security measures these days are getting pretty tight, so I'll just take a few pictures and write a story and send you on your way (home, of course).

94. Civilization 3 will ruin your life - AGAIN! (it says it in the video damnit!)
95. You'll get the urge to complain about things that don't really deserve complaining about because the game is so damn good in the ways that really matter, and since you just feel like being social after your 5 hour (minimum) sessions you decide forum posting is the best way to do it.
96. You'll start insisting that oceans be bluer and colors in general more pastel-shaded. Mud is such an ugly shade of brown - with our technology, we'll make it look better!

99. You're havent finished all the Civ 2 scenarios you want to, and the (reputed ) absence of a decent scenario editor both gives you an excuse not to buy yet, and promises several more months of life for the Civ 2 scenario community

100. You have a 4 year old PC (which cant be upgraded sufficiently thanks to its "proprietary architecture" - oops, that was a dumb purchase) and you're not planning on buying a new one for several months, by which time this whole MP/scenario/bug/xpack thing should have worked itself out, so why not wait?

101. Because you want to wait for the Xpack to come out, and then buy the "combo pack", hopefully at a nice discount. meanwhile there's civ2 scenarios, other games, and BTW, the rest of life
