Has C3C revitalized civ for you?

vee4473 · November 17, 2003, 21:26

Just curious to know how many still played and loved civ3 or if C3C made them check it out again.

WarpStorm · November 17, 2003, 21:50

None of your answers fit. I love Civ3 and this made it even better.

vee4473 · November 17, 2003, 22:05

then your answer should be the first.

gimme a break.

sure, i thought of better poll options after the fact, but this was to ask about whether it revitalized civ3 for you.

it hink the options fit that question.

sorry

vee4473 · November 17, 2003, 22:06

for instance, one option left out that i wish i had put in was, "yes! this is what i have been waiting for!!"

Dis · November 17, 2003, 22:47

well it did. but right now I'm so pissed I feel like killing someone.

There is no way a legionary 3 should lose almost every battle against a gallic swordsmen.

I can't even win as Rome

Dis · November 17, 2003, 22:48

and yes, you left out the most obvious poll option. The same option as the title of this thread!!

so I'll just vote banana instead.

FrostyBoy · November 17, 2003, 22:54

lol, I think the mods should edit this poll. They all seem to be a mix of each other.

steven8r · November 18, 2003, 11:36

Yes, it HAS revitalized Civ for me. I didn't answer the poll, because I don't think that c3c was 'unnecessary'. C3C has 'freshened' my Civ'ing experience. I was 'cived-out' for awhile. This changed it for me.

Stuie · November 18, 2003, 11:42

A flat out "YES" option would have been nice.

Cagliostro · November 18, 2003, 12:45

I love the civ series since playing civ 1 on the Amiga, but I'm a quite occasional player - that means I've played a few epic games of each game and then quit - until an expansion or new game came out - so yes - Conquests did revitalize the game for me and I guess it will do so for a bit longer than PTW did

...

BTW: I agree on the Yes option - voted "If only I could find the civ3 disc under all this dust to re-install, I might try the expansion..." allthough I allready did that

Try your pocket you tightwad.

I played my first Civ game on the TSR-80. I love civ games. Can't get enough.

BAHAHAHA someone else that remembers the Trash 80!!! I had a Model III as a kid. Remember that crappy OS LDOS? Man I have fond memories of that machine, playing all those text adventures.

Cort Haus · November 18, 2003, 19:30

When I was a kid with my 1K ZX81, I used to dream of having a TRS-80, complete with floppy disk drives and playing those long, rambling text adventures I saw advertised in the magazines.

(years later I ended up supporting obselete TRS-80's while working for Tandy - in an era when a 5MB hard drive would cost about £300.)

Oh, back on topic : It hasn't been released yet in my country, but seeing the effect its release has had on the democracy games, it must be good.

MrWhereItsAt · November 19, 2003, 02:03

Not really, but it was nice.... However, I'm not voting the first as I couldn't have lived without an additional Expansion. I would, however, have still been playing civ no matter what...

Alex · December 8, 2003, 20:20

*bump*

now that conquests has been out for some time, i think it is time to revitalize this thread...

although the poll options are horribly designed

, at least this thread can be used to discuss the subject.

so, did c3c revitalized civ for you?

vee4473 · December 8, 2003, 20:46

well, they aren't that bad..

but, conquests has certainly revitalized civ3 for me. I can't exactly say why...it just has.

I especially like the lethal bombard, even though that could have always been modded in.

WarpStorm · December 8, 2003, 21:03

I don't know if revitalized is the right word. I never stopped enjoying playing. I've been playing C3C for over 6 months and still enjoy it.

Sarxis · December 8, 2003, 21:04

Conquests totally revitalized it for me. I was ZERO SUM on playing C3 at all. None.. nada.. nill.

Now its better, and I'm enjoying it, despite the current broken stuff.

dnassman · December 8, 2003, 21:09

I have the "just one more turn" feeling come back. That should say it all.

MrWhereItsAt · December 8, 2003, 22:21

You bet it did. So many interesting additions like my beloved SoZ, compensating for the paucity of badly needed resources (that curiously afflicts the AI just as much!).

Before the game felt complete, but a little bit.... for lack of a better word I will call it bland. Now it feels more involving.
