PtW & E3

Isn't Firaxis supposed to showcasing the MP expansion at the E3? And if so, what information do you want me to bring back from E3 about it?

How the scenario editor works! Stuff like AI scripting, being able to plonk stuff down on the map (like cities), whether or not it incorporates flat maps, that sort of thing.

Anything and everything possible.

(and yes, I mean that too

)

if possible, i'd love a "shakycam" of the whole shebang. any chance you can bring a camcorder and get it on poly?

Shakycam would be great, but if not find out who all the civs are!

Jon Shafer · May 23, 2002, 00:11

The things I'm interested most in are the "extras". Sure, we'll find out the 2 final civs soon, along with the units, we know multiplayer is going to be included, along with a revamped scenario editor... but what else? That's what I want to know.

Link to more info

I found this on Gamespot, through an email from ZDNet; here is the Gamespot Link .

wow, you came really through my wichita copatriot.

I really want to see this dinosaur themepack.

I subscribe to a ZDNet newlsetter, and it lets me know when Civ 3 stuff pops up. Mainly Gamespot articles.

It is nice to see another local around. The closest I had found was KC, to as far away as one of the former USSR republics.

I split my time between wife, job, 1bigcommunity, civfanatics, apolyton mostly, and a number of other fan sites.

I am waiting for the WW2 one.

monkspider · May 23, 2002, 02:25

Cool, well I hope you remain frequent visiter of Apolyton in the future. Shall I assume from your avatar that your favorite civ is the Iroquois? What a coincidence, mine too.

I enjoy visiting the Indian Center here in Wichita every once in a while, they have quite a bit of interesting stuff.

FrustratedPoet · May 23, 2002, 04:36

That preview makes me a bit more hopeful about the expansion. Of course, Gamespot are rarely critical of anything, but if Firaxis deliver what they say they will then this will be a very cool

expansion...

Thanks for the link kring...

The ways things are going between here and CivFanatics, much of the XP will already be available due to the great mod communities. LOL

The ModManager is currently out and the Gramphos has several other similar things going.

Well, I come from the slightly more negative point of view on Civ3, so I'll give you what I consider to be a realistic overview.

Sorry, can't do the camcorder thing, but I'll try to comply with the everything and anything order.

Bring us back a booth-babe too.

Find out if there will be a limit on how many civs we can have in the game. Yippee.

Good question. If they put in twenty four, I want to play with twenty four. Well... well...?

I like to know about any improvements being made to the most maligned era: the Modern Age. Units? Buildings? Wonders? Something to make the end game more interesting. And how 'bout the UN? Are they improving it?
