Are you planning to buy Civ3:Conquest?

Zero · May 18, 2003, 14:34

well?

Nor Me · May 18, 2003, 14:43

Yes. But then I'd have voted for buying a banana if it had the civ3 label on it.

Azeem · May 18, 2003, 14:45

I'm just one of the sheep.

The Emperor Fabulous · May 18, 2003, 15:16

I have fun with Civ 3. It will expand the game. I see no harm.

Tiberius · May 18, 2003, 15:53

Hmm, aren't in this poll to many no's ? Isn't it a little biased?
How about options like: "I'll wait for the reviews first" or "I'm not planning it, but I may change my mind if player's feedback is positive" etc.

sorry, but i was just interested only in if you said no. What you've mentioned has to be all voted under that one "undecided" option i guess. Apologies.

and the yes option cant really be expanded...

Kaos XIII · May 18, 2003, 16:08

Of course I'll buy C3:C. I won't get it the first day or week, but eventually I'm definitely going to buy it. I don't even care if the reviews are bad like in PTW. Baaaaah, Baaaaah.

The Templar · May 18, 2003, 16:16

Oh, I'll probably get it the first week. I didn't learn anything from my experience with MoO3. Then again, its not like Infogrames is doing Civ anymore. Now Atari is doing it - and they're completely different!

WarpStorm · May 18, 2003, 17:02

I'll buy this game if it's not given to me.

mrboo123 · May 18, 2003, 17:33

Will ask for it for Chirstmas!

Tiberius · May 18, 2003, 17:55

Zero, I will probably buy it, but I'm not going to preorder it. I'll wait for the player reviews, to see if it's worth my money. I think this is not really "undecided". I'd like to buy it, but not blindfolded.

So yes, the "yes" can be expanded

statusperfect · May 18, 2003, 17:58

i'll buy if the improvements are cumulative with those in PtW

cheers

Carver · May 18, 2003, 18:02

I'm buying it. Especially with good diplomacy and UN enhancements, I'll probably have to get it the first week.

Tiberius · May 18, 2003, 18:09

Oh man, if the UN will be finally useful, I'll buy it ASAP

However if the only difference will be the scenarios, the 8 new civs and a few new units ...

IIRC they've said something about improved PBEM, which will almost force me to buy it, being my favorite playing style. I hope they will finally get rid of all those annoying bugs from PBEM (and MP).

volsang · May 18, 2003, 19:17

Oh yeah, I be getting it! Heck, I'll probably be putting it on reserve. And Have it the day of it's release

Spiffor · May 18, 2003, 19:29

There is only once way that I don't buy it :
If it is impossible to create szcenarios with events (no matter if the professional scenarios have them or not) AND if this lack isn't compensated by the presence of unit-trading.

So, I guess yes

Jethro83 · May 18, 2003, 19:43

Of course I'm going to buy it. The few new features already made public are enough incentive for me, and there might even be even more features that Firaxis are yet to reveal.

Randolph · May 18, 2003, 19:58

95% yes, but no pre-order. I'll at least wait for the first few user reviews and the possiblity of a very quick patch.

MyOlde · May 19, 2003, 08:18

I'm with statusperfect on this. It's unclear whether Conquests will be separate from the main game; or will we be able to use the new Civs in normal style games (some warfare, some peaceful building, etc). As long as Conquests is fully integrated into the present game, I'll buy.

I don't bother looking at reviews any more when Civ expands; they've always produced a wonderful game and I've never ever been disappointed. And if something doesn't work, they fix it.

georges bonbon · May 19, 2003, 08:22

Where and when can I buy?

Spiffor · May 19, 2003, 08:42

Apparently this autumn.
I'd say end October, since it is frequent in the industry to ship an XP one year after the vanilla game or the previous XP (nd they have done so last year).

FrustratedPoet · May 19, 2003, 09:06

I'm undecided. I love Civ, but haven't seen much in the Conquest announcements to get me excited at all.

Demerzel · May 19, 2003, 09:07

depends. they'd really have to improve core game functionality and not just add some cosmetic improvements.

alva · May 19, 2003, 11:01

I'll more then likely buy it.

Cookie Monster · May 19, 2003, 11:19

I'm going to use the same strategy I did with PtW. Wait until price drops <$20 and then ask around the forums if the game is good or not. Then I'll buy............

I have a feeling RoN and any other games that come out this summer will keep me busy until the new Civ3 addition is at bargain bin prices.

TheArsenal · May 19, 2003, 11:20

I'll buy it straight away. I'm intrigued by the talk of changes in diplomacy more than anything else.

I also believe people learn from their mistakes. I expect patches, naturally that can't be helped, but after the bad press from the last release I would be very surprised if this weren't a highly polished product. As it is supposed to be.

Falconius · May 19, 2003, 15:37

I'm there, dude.

Jaybe · May 19, 2003, 15:57

Spiffor, you KNOW that if it has editable events then it will be buggy until the 1st or 2nd patch, and I hope there will NOT be unit trading (I never had those games where you could do it in Civ2).

I will probably get it the first day it is available, as I did with C3 & PTW. There will probably be all sorts of tweaks that haven't been mentioned yet by Firaxis.
