The MP netcode of Civ 3 is the biggest piece of cr*p I have ever seen. And they actually expect ppl to PAY for all the lags and the crashes. Sorry but I will not buy IV before I tested it with huge maps and 8 AI's and it still runs smooth. This is no flamebait but something that was seething inside me since PTW hit the market. Ahh now I feel better sorry if I offended
