Hail, Isidjknfkjsnvjdsvoi

Thanks, Xanauduaahd

Yeah, I think the religion part of the game makes it a MUST buy... it just changes the game into a classic (well from where I'm sitting - before I have the game )

Very nice indeed.... I've just got one question, how big is that site, just so we can know the exact number of converts We've got to keep a proper count you know

We're in our growing stages, but plan on making EU quite a sizable part of our network. I was also sort of hoping we'd see some of you guys on our forums once in a while too

You should add some cool screenshots to accompany your review.
Good work .

No problem, I don't mind .

And the only screenshots I could get is if I stole them from someone .

I'm over one htose forums too. But their are a lot of newbies bringing up ideas for civ III that are out of line.

For instance there seems to be a group of people who want to make civ III real-time.
Yeah, that would make the game great (sarcsm)

Also some like the ideas of CTP and making them in Civ III.

1) I had better not see some layered levels. 7 different earths of something.

2) They had better consider speacility units carefully. This really made CTP crappy. Televangelists, lawyers, whose bright idea was that?

3) Army grouping sucks. Unless they refine the attack and defense abilities. 2 catapults and a phalanx could level a line of musketeers. Plus in CTP I & II you can't have more than 12 units in a city. Which doesn't help in scenarios. Because it's good to use a city as a staging zone, they can't die if the city losses a few.

Good points above, but reading info from the firaxis site ive got a bad feeling about the
combat side of the game, E.U combats the best method for these types of games.

From the Preview: '. . . SMAC was too futuristic, CtP sucked too much. . . .'

ROTFLOL! PRECISELY my own views!

 

[unmerged(827)]

Well, I actually loved SMAC, but I play to my audience

Are you saying you reviewed the game without ever having played it!? Great job. Just goes to show how thorough and insightful the AARs and discussion on this forum have become. Congratulations to Paradox, Greven, Sapura, and all for what may be the best web site around.
