eugh. i hated that. i much prefer SMAC's support SE system.

Au contraire, mon ami.

Civ3´s support system allows for a massive build up of armed forces without the hassle of keeping track of where they´re actually from and seeing to that there is enough shields to support the troops and still produce new ones.

Vastly superior to SMAC´s support system, IMO.

I see more merit in a "Civ: past, present and future"-general forum. We don't need a Civ IV category (not for the moment). Most visitors tend to stick to their own turf and never venture outside their own and perhaps OT. The fragmentation in the on-topic forums is gettings worse and worse...

meh. just what you prefer, i guess. i just don't like the idea of paying for support with my energy reserves

Well, you´re paying from the treasury actually. And when you get to Democracy and have Wall Street and banks ´n stuff everywhere money is NOT a problem. In my current game I net 350 gold each turn. There isn´t anything I can´t buy.
Mwhahhah! *evil capitalist laugh*

Or better still, have you actually sent it to Firaxis?

Actually, I have.

I'd have posted the link to the site, but am still looking where it is (I have too many sites!)

HERE IT IS:

RIGHT HERE

Although the original plan was more ambitious- we were, in the civ III section of the forum- going to go through and rate each idea as MAJOR, MINOR, or EXPANSION PACK possible; then send the entire list, with hypelinks to each specification...

It was going to be a huge undertaking, but only a few people showed interest in reforming the Civ III list into a civ IV list and adding new Civ IV ideas for the technology avaliable to that game.

And only 1 person volunteered to help me directly (rasbelin I think) thus, the list is pretty much just me compiling ideas

Although it was meant to be so much more!

Heresson · January 13, 2003, 11:20

And I thought that I make (used to make) long posts...
Anyway, I have no ideas yet.

Did you get a reply from Firaxis?

Sadly no, the RCT (Rollercoaster tycoon) guys were even more prompt to respond than Firaxis was

(I have a RCT LIST HERE: http://home.att.net/~tivoligardens/rctideas.htm)

Firaxis seems to have lost its touch nowadays *sigh*

oh well

Mr. President · January 14, 2003, 02:28

Their sales are probably huge regardless of whether they read our suggestions or not.

Well hopefully they read it and kept it anyway. Was the RCT response a cursory 'thank you' (which would still be nice) or was a substantive?

and dont forget the SIG

have a nice day

We don't need a Civ4 list. We can recycle the Civ3 list, since 90% of the suggestions (95% of the good ideas) were ignored.

Like what? Part of the problem it seemed to me was implementing ideas that were good in theory but not in practice.
