	Whats the verdict? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Today is the 25th of February. Around 11:30 AM.

Everyone must be to busy playing the game to post information to us 'inferior' peoples who don't have the game yet. hehe

So, I'd like to here how the game is so far from you guys who got it. (I'm stuck in school until 4 o' clock. Might get it tomorrow )

I'm also assuming from all those previews about the huge learning curve that nobody has really gotten that far in any game yet...

Just let the information flow freely here I guess.



Hope its fun!

Depends on how you look at it. AlexFrog beat the thing in his second game, first sitting, albeit 13 hours.

We'll hear some things soon.

(Hopefully that its for sale in a place near me... = ) )

Man, this forum sure has kicked into high gera though, eh?

Nothing? nobody has come up for air?

Not even like the begining of an AAR? Like a "during action report" (DAR). Stop hog'n the game and tell the rest of us how it is and stuff... come on I want to hear from the real deal.. from the customers...... fine... be that way....

If ANYONE has it tomorrow, I'll be happy. No-one had it today... all of them told me it was still being shipped.

Ok, verdict is in. Got it, loaded, gave it to my sister's son who is 11 and told him to use the governors. Went out, came back and he won in 7 1/2 hours but didn't know what was going on.

Masterpiece. Infrogrames has done it again. Hit the market sweet spot.

Is there any way to lose 50%+ of the games you play without playing against a human?

Geez. They did this wonderful helpful viceroy AI, and an 11 year old AND AlexFrog beat em in the first sitting.



I don't know what's worse. The pitiful nature of the above, or that I still will probably buy the same damn game.

Seriously, is there any game where (on the long run) you are likely to lose at least 10% of the games against a fair-playing AI?

I am not defending Moo3, I am really curious to see if there is any such game. Civ3 can't do this even with heavily cheating AI.

Yes, play on a level other than "easy" or "normal"...

Hey, many people *****ing about how bad the viceroy AI would be, apparently it can't be *that* bad, eh?

THe AI of computer games is not always that great. I look for human players to give me a real changle.
