Default Off Topic DO NOT BUY CIV 3

THis game is utter complete crap. Just trust me on this. I have been playing it for a month now, and I just unistalled that POS from my computer. The list of things wrong with it is a mile and half long. I am sick and tired of crap from Sid M. and will NEVER buy his trash again.

To hell with Civilization 3. Oh ya, I just trashed the disk, and am going to send it to them in peaces. (Seldom does a game frustrate me to this point, but this one pushed evey button I had.)

Note to self:
do not buy Civ 3
Spend money on Myth 3 instead.

Here in Spain Civ 3 is just arriving. Now shops will sell the English Version, and will sell the Spanish Version in March. It's the first time i can remember that a game is sold in 2 Versions. The expectation is enormous, all magazines with Civ 3 and Sid Meier at the cover. But, what are the changes? The gameplay is the same that the 1st Civ.

Well, too late
I have to agree, Civ3 has some frustrating parts, but overall I enjoyed it. Ive been trying to edit the game to make it better (in my eyes that is)
The big thing that pissed me off is how cruise missiles were ground units. (*HUH??)

does the patch fix its 'more-of-the-same'ness? the gameing industry has a stick if you have a dead horse.
