Don't worry I was working all day, I will have it soon.

monkspider · June 10, 2003, 17:51

Well I signed up for Gamespot, but they are not letting me download the video. I click on download, stream, everything, and it does absolutely nothing. I will try again later.
See if I pay for this crappy service again.

What? Noooooooooooo!

monkspider · June 10, 2003, 18:14

Alright I just watched it, it is really quite uneventful. Nothing that we don't already know I'm afraid. 2/3 of it was about Pirates. I suppose it's not a bad interview. I would still be willing to send to someone to host, but I imagine it's not worth the 6 bucks.

monkspider · June 10, 2003, 18:21

In fact, i could even type out a transcript of any conquests related stuff if there is an interest for it.

CrONoS · June 10, 2003, 18:44

Me I'm interested, if we can host it on a website or Ftp it will be nice!!!

Thanks MonkSpider for your sacrifice!

See ya

Spiffor · June 10, 2003, 20:39

Thanks Monkspider for the sacrifice

I am interested in a transcript, but I cannot host the video.

BUMP

Aniras · June 12, 2003, 02:19

Well, I don't think I've ever posted here, but I'm lucky enough to be a beta tester so it's about time for me to join the community.

I have about 15GB/month of unused bandwidth with my webhost, so I'd be glad to host the file for download.

monkspider · June 12, 2003, 03:20

Cool Aniras, do you have MSN messenger, or any other chat programs? PM me if you prefer.

BulMaster · June 12, 2003, 07:07

can't someone make a brief resume of the movie? Or say if it's worth the downloading

monkspider · June 12, 2003, 14:19

I'll say this, it's not worth downloading.

monkspider · June 12, 2003, 14:33

here is the transcript I promised
Sid Meier: Conqeusts is an expansion pack for Civ 3. Uh, which really kind of deals with some exciting episodes in history.
We have the Samuarai conquest of Japan, we have, uh, some historical scenarios. There are more units in the game that allow you to recreate your own scenarios.It's kind of taking a militaristic look at the history of civilization and providing the tools to make your own scenarios as well as providing our profesionally created scenarios
[cut]
There are some improvements in multiplayer in civ conquests, uh, I think that is becoming a stronger and stronger part of the game. Certainly originally civ was just a single player game but the community has been playing more and more multiplayer so we made some additional improvements in civ conquests.

Yeah, with 3-4 patch to resolve the MP lag in civ3PTW... it's sure it become stronger and stronger.... and it's not even fixed now!!
I wish in Conquest it will be fixed!!!

But thanks Monk for the transcript... and to give your money to gamespot.

See ya!

Louis XXIV · June 12, 2003, 18:00

Maybe we should all give a dollar to pay him back

That was very informative

can you make civ3 more militaristic? the way is is now it is a war game

cheers

DanQ · June 16, 2003, 00:20

If and when the video in question becomes available to non-subscribers of GameSpot's "Complete" service and is therefore downloadable for free, we would most likely host the clip in question beginning at some point thereafter.

P.S. On another point: yes, we answer PMs.

My thoughts precisely.

Even for diplo junkies and trader junkies, it is a kind of war. You want to win, and unfortunatelly winning usually involve some kind of violence either physically or in some virtual arena, like diplomacy or trade.

The reason why 99% of all units in Civ are militarily based does tell you something about its orientation. It is about war. But I think Civ 3 has moved away from that a bit and provided players a broader set of tools to wage war. The trading/diplomatic system is very nice and I hope more of this area is added in Conquests.

I'm dying to hear more about the locked alliances thing. Sounds neat.
