Thanks ADG, I am really surprised by the fifth place of Civ3 with 120 points only, I thought it would end first far away from the others.

What's even funnier is that CTP2 did better than civ3.

Who'd thunk that!!!

Not me!

It would be interesting to detail the votes, it seems that many gamers playing Civ2 have not necessarily upgraded to Civ3 or have not found the game suited to their taste as the gameplay is very different. As far as I can remember many Civ3 players have not ranked Civ3 as their favorite game where the CtP2 and SMAC players have almost always ranked these games first, was it enough to make the difference or has the Civ3 community ignored this vote?

Whatsoever CtP2 is second and so is the CtP serie in the other voting thread...

That's not funny, that's a disaster

ctp1/2 are both filled with more bugs than Civ3 (Well, some people call them features

)...

I didn't vote Civ3 as being the best game, since there's better games around, but Civ3 is still better than any previously Civ/ctp game...

It's a matter of opinion and taste, it can't be a statement...

Yeah I know there are some people who consider it as a feature to move 200 units each turn just to improve the terrain of their empire.

Well... that's better than to click 200+ times, to figure out that you can't build what you want to build, when you want to build...

And it's more realistic to have workers, instead of spending 300000000+ pw in one turn (and thereby change a country from a very far behind in everything, to the most advanced country in the world (advanced in: using every square of land, not advanced in: having all advances), in one turn

Hmmm... wait, this thread shouldn't be turned into "a fight about that Civ3 beats the hell out of ctp2 any time" thread...

Well, I had provided ADG with a spreadsheet with each player's votes in a separate column...
It all depends whether he wants and can upload the whole width in his page

ADG, the list would need sorting, see Planescape.
Ask me for hints in Excel usage, in case you'd not be comfortable with it. Also the position is obtained with a formula, so you should simply copy it for the new lines, and not insert the position manually....

Ok, it didn't come out right. But what makes more sense is, that I hate that system because I keep forgetting about it (and always wonder were the workers are), and when I finally wants to use it, I don't have enough PeeWee to buy what I want to buy, or I have so much money that I can upgrade the whole country... And another reason is, I simply just don't think that "feature" fits into a Civ type game. The idea just doesn't make any sense at all in such type of game...

And yeah, I prefer to have lots of units to walk around with

I did what you say. Well... I didn't copy the lines, I just drag'ed the needed lines down, but sometimes it seems to forget something. Like in Planescape, the position was calculated from the line below Planescape, thereby leaving Planescape to have the same position as the one below... But I think I have fixed all of those now... (Don't know if I can upload it tonight though... my upload speed is on avg 1 kb/s, and has caused timeouts when uploading

I wonder if I even can post this msg... this is second try... there's no problem with downloading)

I sorted the list from:
Position
Avg
Game-name

Is there other things there should be on the list?

I'm trying to upload the list for the last time today, if it doesn't work, you'll have to wait until tomorow...

Yeah a matter of taste.

My taste is it not to waste a lot of time to run around with 200 settlers/engineers just to improve my terrain. In Civ2 I needed for this task one hour per turn in the worst case, I think this also included the trade tasks, but not the wait until I was able to move my units again.

If that is any consolation for you i done like the concept either although it is a big improvement over the settler system. Still when everytime i play the game i keep saying to me: "Why dont they just used gold to buy TI other than create a totally new concept?"

Matter of taste End of Discussion (I hope!)
