Civ is just plain dead period. Civ3 will never be as popular as Civ2 was.

weird, we're obviously still noobs. (even though we played III games before) At first we played turnless. With the lag, you'd be trying to move a unit and the turn had advanced and all you cities were revolting. You also have to be careful on how the turn clock is set. With any type of lag it moves way way too quick. It has potential, but the opening still lacks the excitement buzz you get off of civ II mp.
It was funny that while we were testing, I'd host and by the time War would get into the game, two or three other players would be in. hahahahahhaha
Yes, if you want to limit the game, a password is recommended. It was humorous, but it means there were a lot of people out there looking. Which could be promising, if we can figure out the right settings. Some of the game options lean towards one night stands so it could be fun. But still no excitement.

after playing we had to play a II game to clean our palate.

Didn't we see a thread similar to this 6 months or a year ago. I believe it was Eyes who said it was dead at the time. Well since then he's changed his name 4 or 5 times but civ II lives on.
Anyone wanna bet if there is a post like this one year from now.

Yes the civ3 chat interface is obnoxious, i believe we were both trying to chat to each other, but somehow he wasn't getting my messages.....
they appear right in the game on the screen, on the left where it tells you what your cities are building (when they finish something that is)
totally lacks excitement, often couldn't finish my turns in time, units wouldnt' move , the lag was bad, and we had very fast ping times and it was a duel....
however , once we get through this initial phase, i believe that the game will be fun, but only for players who like TBS style games.
if you want excitement and fast paced, the civ series is weak....go play AOE a FPS style game....
TBS is for those who wish to take their time.....
in the end it will be playable, as it stands right now, its not a great game.....but the SP mode of PTW is decent.
and yes, Civ 2 was definitely needed to remove the foul taste civ3 left
