hopefully they'll do something about the truly boring late game. In the hundreds of hours I played Civ3, only once did I actually complete a spaceship.

I wish it would be as good as Alpha Centauri.

I fear it will be basically Civ3 in 3d.

  AC was an awesome game. I hope to find it cheap again :) : Sylvanus
  - Go look for the "Laptop Collection" from EA - has AC, the AC expansion, and like 2-3 other games. $20. : Schnapple
- YES! AC is one of the best games ever created, and shames Civ III to no end. : DonkeyPopsicle

Civ III was the most addicting and time consuming (non-mmorpg)game I ever played. I just hope the AI will be worked on much much more and the graphics are improved for CivIV. Would be nice if players could walk thru the city... or watch your army rape and mutilate another country.... haha would be nice if CivIV got an M rating

Oh man... How on earth can they improve on Civ3? Maybe more detailed diplomacy... Either way, I'm sure it will be amazing. Every previous Civ game has been better than the last. I can't wait!

Civ III is the most disappointing game I have ever played. The only good thing I can say about it is that it 'cured' me of ever preordering again (which came in handy when MoO3 and Invisible War were released, whew).

I'll be waiting for ShackOpion before I pick this one up.
