Re: Compare and Contrast: SimCity 4 and Civ 3
I've seen previews for it. It's tempting. I kinda like the giant monster idea, but I'm not sure it deals with the "city" aspect that I like.

Re: Compare and Contrast: SimCity 4 and Civ 3
I always find that I have to turn off all other victories besides Military Conquest, because if I don't then I beat the game too early.
Ok, I guess I just turn off diplomatic & space race. I think there's a few other weird ones. I'm pumped for Civ4. That [censored] needs to be leaked already. Freakin |

In theory, Black & White is a good game. In actuality, it sucks. Way too CPU intensive once your city gets big, even at low video settings (for the new one). Very disappointing game.

I liked a lot of the improvements in Civ 3 - except they need to tweek the area of political influence aspect. Also, the middle of the game is too long ... meaning, towards the end, you get only about 5 - 10 turns to use 20th century military improvements before they are obsolete. That sucks in contrast to the 120 turns you use playing the Knights, etc. In many ways Civ III is better than Civ II in theory, however, the game play is still superior in Civ II. This is why I am eager for Civ IV ... I think they will get is right this time. |

I only spent a few hours with the demo (i didn't go campaign, i went straight to the multiplayer maps). It felt like a dumbed down version of age2 like aom did. Hopefully i'm wrong and the final version is much better than the demo but I don't think that is going to be the case. |
