Thanks

First off, you should actually get the game. It doesn't matter how bad a few people here think it is, but I don't support piracy. With that said, the patches do fix a lot, but I believe if you patch a pirated game it won't work any more do to the cd protection unless you find a no cd crack.

Alex · April 26, 2002, 12:18

I agree with ixnay: buy the game. Piracy is bad.

CRAZY · April 26, 2002, 12:21

I know about the piracy issue and I will buy the game soon. Just have to get the money. I just wanted to see what it was like first. Maybe in a month or so. In hte mean time how about the patch.

WHich should I get?

Go buy the game.

CRAZY · April 26, 2002, 12:54

just so everyone knows I have bought and paid for the previous two verisions and with the 2nd verision did as I am doing now! dled it free off the net tried it for a couple months and then got the game from the store. I do that with almost all games I buy. Thanks for being my mother tho guys I need someone like that in my life making sure I am doing the right things!!
if you don't feel like answering the question about the patch thanks anyway.

Alex · April 26, 2002, 13:34

Easy, there's no need for anger... If you say that you will buy the game, then we believe you...

On the patch issue, get the latest one (v1.21f). It includes all fixes from previous patches and really improves the game.

CRAZY · April 26, 2002, 14:29

I'm not angry by any means I just don't like being lectured on a msg bored of all things!!

But thanks for the info I really appreciate it!

support the coders. without them we wouldn't have a great game like civilization 2.

alva · April 26, 2002, 22:12

no flames please!!!!!!!

go to 'gamecopyworld' to get a crack
i use it too, although i DO HAVE the original game

btw, the crack for 1.21 was there 20 hours after the release off....so why even bother...really!!!

I usually download a rip to test a game first myself, games are just getting too expensive these days. But I own Civ3 and use a no-cd crack, because playing musical cds is too annoying. I do that with all my games.

Same here!!

CRAZY,

Yes, you should get patch.
But since you play pirated (and thus, hacked version) you'll also need a no-cd crack for ver 1.21f (newest patch).

Where to get that cd-crack.
If you knew how to download game from Kazza then this should not be a problem for you.

And posting link here is inappropriate.

Yep, that's ture, same for 1.17f crack.

Skanky Burns · April 27, 2002, 10:42

You should pay for the game.
That said, I've got nothing against trying before you buy.

Zoid · April 27, 2002, 11:27

If I played the CIV3-crack a little longer I probably wouldn´t have bought the game.

I always try to download a crack or borrowing from my friends, when I try a new game. Some I buy, some I don´t. I´m on a limited income being a student and all...

I have no scruples when it comes to software piracy

Lineker · April 27, 2002, 16:05

You have no right Kamrat

Zoid · April 27, 2002, 16:43

I take myself the right

Nikolai · April 27, 2002, 17:03

So you are a big, strong guy, or what Kamrat?

I for one, usually buy the games I play, the only times I don't, is when I get a pirated version as a gift. Then I think it is OK.

And I use abadonware(games that are old) sometimes, but then good games that I hardly can get otherwise(I found Civ1 in that way, and got addicted! Am I forgiven?

).

Zoid · April 27, 2002, 17:33

Nope. I´m neither big nor strong

Just following the trail of free software that nice people post on the Internet

But after some extensive playing with the new patch I would urge Crazy to actually buy the game. If you can get it at a discount, say 29,95 $ it´s worth the money.

And just so you know I bought the game in january for 500 SEK (approx 45$)

You are a good citizen!

And I agree on your tip to Crazy. Go get the game!
