How much do u think we know about CIV3??

Asesino_Virtual · October 4, 2001, 20:26

Yeah, how much. 30%, 50%, 70% 110% (10% of features that will not be included).

Christantine The Great · October 4, 2001, 20:33

10% of gameplay
90% of units (pictures, not stats)

Lorizael · October 4, 2001, 20:34

I'm hoping 30%. I want there to be lots of surprises when I open up that box!

We don't know anything yet.

We hear about all these features, but we don't know how it will be to play any of them. Some great sounding stuff will turn out to be no big deal within a weak. Meanwhile, some other change will make all the difference in the world when it comes to gameplay.

And the way the AI plays the game will mean more than all the other new features combined!

Questions about the abstract will surely spell your DOOM!

... ummm, well isn't that nice...

What I'm hoping is that that 235 page manual will reveal countless untold secrets. Dan couldn't have told us everything!

I think I know 70% about Civ3, 30% of it will be a suprise. (to me)

I'd hope I only know 10%, but sadly that won't be the case. No big surprises for me. However, though we know the major features, such as culture and improved diplomacy and golden ages, there are definitely a ton of little things we do not know yet. That should make the first game a very fun experience. When civ 3 is released, I'm gonna try to stay off this board as much as possible until I have finished my first game.

No surprises for you? How do you know that?? Do you have the game??? Give it to me!!!!

We can't know everthing yet.

I think there's more than just some little things we don't know yet. I can feel it. Dan is hiding something from us.

Oh yah, when the game does come out... I probably won't be on the forum for like a week straight... neeeeeed Civ threeeeeee.

Skanky Burns · October 4, 2001, 22:40

Considering theres a 235 page manual, they've got to fill it with something, and that something is information. All the stuff Dans told us wouldnt even go halfway to filling that many pages (unless they are really small pages

). So my conclusion is that there are still many things we dont know about Civ 3.

I cant wait to start reading my 235 page manual

Lorizael · October 4, 2001, 22:44

Oh yah I love thick juicy manuals.

But I'm gonna play my first game blind. See how well I do.

Then read the whole thing cover to cover.

Sirotnikov · October 4, 2001, 22:56

I think we know around 60%.

If we know more it won't be exciting.

monkspider · October 4, 2001, 23:00

We don't know one-millionth of a percent about anything.

Sarxis · October 4, 2001, 23:13

Yes, this is true.

I can't begin to predict just how much 'we' know about the game, but I can say that a great deal of what we do know has been inferred from screenshots and preview vids- which speaks highly of the fans because it means we are really making an effort to find these things out.

SerapisIV · October 4, 2001, 23:44

I think we only know 50% We know the broad picture of almost every aspect of the game from resources to diplomacy. However we don't know the nitty gritty details or anything about the espionage. But all the details are only a month away from being answered.

Nemo · October 5, 2001, 00:11

we know VERY little of anything past the ancient/middle ages.
what about:
planes, tanks, transports, satellites, wonders, resources, units, MAD...

while we know some of these things from the modern ages, MUCH is not know (which is good...a nice surprise!)

although, since i didnt play SMAC long enough, i have NO inclination as to satelites and how they work...but i will wait 3 more weeks to find out.
