You're leaving CTP2 for THIS?
quote:
Firstly, I had a pact with 2 civs to let them pass thru my land and what that did was an endless movement of units thru my territory where I had to sit for 5 minutes and watch the units move (with animations turned off). My computer is Athlon 1.4GH with 512MB ram and GForceIII card, so it couldn't be my computer. There were hundreds of units moving and there was no way to turn that off so that I don't have to watch that. Plus I had over 100 workers, which actions I had to watch as the screen moved from one to another, and of course no option to turn that off either. ...
My only solution was to break the agreement with those 2 civs (I spent more time watching the screen move around than playing) and 2 turns after that they declared war on me and took about 5 of my cities where I had very little army stationed and in the middle of my country. As I struggled to take them back moving ONE unit at the time not able to group them and loosing my 20th century units againts 12th century units, and taking couple cities from computer players, there was nothing I could do to make those citizens happy so I lost most cities I got.

Hope to see you back soon.

I just had to save that. It was the one that made me decide not to shell out any money till they get it working properly.

Peter, I think that you are just to hard about civ3.
You should give it a try, it is a good game.
Although my MODing abilities will RUST (that civ3editor looks EXACT like that in Starcraft), that game is pretty playable.
And I think that Firaxis will actually make some patches & correct all bad things.
Anyway, Civ3 is no more buggy then CTP1 (& has very good AI), not as CTP2 (pity, it had potential & I liked to play and MOD it).
The most I liked in CTP2 is MODing, but after all that time I think I haven't played (really play, not playtest) ANY civ type game for a long time.
Actually I more Moded CTP2, then played, and it was FUN!
Now I'll play Civ3 for some time.
And probapbly not MOD it, if there is no real way to MOD AI.

I still maintain that the best civ style game is Colonization. I really wish somebody would make a sequel to that game. Civ 3 stole a lot of its elements (minor tribes, etc) but screwed up too much else to be terribly playable.
