It`s interesting to note that Capture The Princess is now simply Capture The Flag

Well maybe there could be some options:
"Capture:
the flag
Sid Meier
the easter egg
..."

Edit: Capture the BANANA, BANANA!!

Capture the Banana

Zero · October 3, 2002, 00:20

is the flag still gonna be represented by princess? or have option to do so? I like the idea of stealing princess.. reminds me of mario brothers

WarpStorm · October 3, 2002, 09:03

I hope so. I hope they rethink it and name the game mode back to "Capture the Princess"

Zero · October 3, 2002, 12:08

I dont care wat it is named as long as they allow option to change sprite of unit into princess or a flag.

Lets see how many games are based on saving the princess who was captured by evil warlord only to be missing again in the next sequel?

on top of my head

Ghouls n' ghost
Mario Bro
Onimusha

Feel free to add to list

FrustratedPoet · October 3, 2002, 12:45

It should be easy to change the sprite. People have been altering the exisiting unit graphics since the game came out.

Trifna · October 3, 2002, 14:27

BANANA! BANANA!!!

Hey, they just have to put capture the banana, it's Civ III community's official easter egg symbol!!!

ixnay · October 3, 2002, 14:37

Yes, I hope we can change the name in the editor. Much fun could be had.

Hagbart · October 3, 2002, 15:30

I think capture Sid Meyer is cool.

SMIFFGIG · October 3, 2002, 19:03

AND KILL HIM

Zero · October 4, 2002, 01:48

capture sid meir and if u play him in a city, you can force him to overwork creating ideas for a new improved games that will increase happiness throughout the empire like a luxury... lose him to another civ, and your people will cause riot until they get their next patch of civ XXXIV at their doorstep!

but then again if you have him, productivity will plunge, forcing most of your citizen to be mindlessly addicted to his games and will be playing at work any chance they get... (alt-tab anyone? lol)

Trifna · October 4, 2002, 10:29

Oh, now I get why people like games to have alt-tab so much...

Randolph · October 4, 2002, 10:39

wow, your daring calc II... I'm willing to come here while at work (or anywhere on the net), but actually playing the game? CivIII donesn't alt-tab quite right, it leaves civ where the start bar should be (at least on my comp.. I haven't installed it at work).

Could someone please ban SMIFFGIG, or sue him.

Gangerolf · October 4, 2002, 12:24

Is this the same as regicide?

ixnay · October 4, 2002, 15:44

No, in this mode you get points by getting the "flag" and bringing it back to your civilization. Regicide is just a loss condition where if your king dies, you lose.

ixnay37, I suppose Gangerolf is kidding about the SMIFFGIG suggestion to Capture Sid Meier and Kill Him (see message above).

Of course he's not joking. It would be regicice. (He IS the king after all.)

Fredric Drum · October 5, 2002, 10:08

Capture the princess is not politically correct.

Also, all fairy tales will be re-written to avoid the sexist characteristics they have today. This means that everybody will have to turn in their fairy tale books for editing. An announcement will be made very soon.

Thank you.

brianshapiro · October 6, 2002, 00:43

how will the 'flag' unit appear? a pperson carrrying a large flag?

actually, I wasn't kidding, I was just a bit confused

.

and yes, killing Sid would definately be regicide

AlecTrevylan00 · October 8, 2002, 22:09

capture the commies
There are 4 great leaders
Lenin=Stalin=Mao=Marx
If you get them all, you win
If you kill one, you lose, and they are regenerated

If you have 1 leader (or 2, or 3)
they have effects
Lenin-increased chance of revolution/civil war
stalin-Military may die off randomly
Mao-Farms are less productive
Marx-More.....corruption? i dunno. Wait, workers cost 1 food a piece

Carver · October 9, 2002, 00:12

Capture the Princess is too politically correct. Just call it what it is, "Get the Pu__y."

Hmm....Originally I would give it a .00001/100, but since your just a chieftain I suppose you an get a .001/10.

Yes, and the person carrying the flag will be a gorgeous, sexy Princess

aahz_capone · October 9, 2002, 09:12

How about something more along the lines of our time, instead of fairy tale land?

Like capture the Terrorist? (a good few scenarios come to mind)

Or capture the Drug Baron?

Or capture the Runaway President's Daughter?

Capture the Anarchist Hippie Anti-globalisation Rioting Malcontent?

Capture the Kidnapped Genius Scientist With Plans For The Doomsday Weapon?

Capture the Crashed UFO Alien Harboured By Government Controling Secret Conspiracy Organisation?

And a very small flag is the only thing she dress

Oh my... almost 40 and still I'm so stupid to make jokes about sex, like a teen

Tiberius · October 11, 2002, 05:14

Don't worry Admiral, men just have a dirty imagination. Plus, the older you get the more jokes you will make about sex. I suppose it is a kind of a substitute instead of the real thing

PS We should find an artist/modder (an old one, with sick, dirty imagination; just like ours

), to make us a Princess dressed in a tiny flag for our online games

PPS Just kidding

...and now I understand the new title: "capture the flag"; that means, take the flag and leave the princess dressed in ... well, ...

I'm disgusting

AlecTrevylan00 · October 11, 2002, 19:41

I thought capture the commies was good.
Well, no i didnt, i was half asleep when i wrote it, but still
This from the King of the Soviet Union. Oh well, im not politically correct
I called this kid at my school a fascist (long story)
Then he told me he was german
Of course, it turns out he was french (thought he had the wrong accent)
