CivIII - Endless?
Just a quick question. Does anyone know if you'll be able to play forever in CivIII (as in CivII). Will a box pop up after you win asking if you want to keep playing?

I'm positive that will be the same as Civ2. Even though, I don't have any real proof to actually prove my previous statement.

Don't see why not. It would be quite a letdown to be just about to wipe out an archrival when the spaceship lands - and not be able to finish the deed.

I think the replay value of the Civ genre is much more important than the ability to proceed meddling FFS without gain nor purpose.

I agree with you that every new game one starts has to be fun.. without repetition (other than the obvious  ).
I don't understand tho what you mean by 'FFS' or the without or gain statement. Could you please explain for me what you mean by it?
Thanks

Ahem, it is shorthand for the not very elegant expression "for f*ck's sake". In other words, playing just without reason; all has been researched, all buildings built, all enemies at least rendered powerless, and the final score is already given. It just seems a futile exercise to me to play on after that endpoint.

I play until the extremely powerful AI (I let them get big for a challenge) stops coming after me after I split their empires in half over and over again. Or until I capture so many cities that the game is just trying to bring the cities up to speed.
I hate only having 6000 years (In retrospect I see how stupid that sounds. ) of recorded game time. I wish the powergraph would keep going anyway.
