Welcome to the column! I am your humble servant, Aníbal, and I will bring you the most important news of the world of Civilization, but with my own (and unique) point of view. This page is the continuation of a few lines I wrote long time ago: the Civ-Addict corner. I've been retained by evil romans for a long time, but now I'm free, and I'm back with full strength. I laugh about the Alps! |
| Of course, any column has to start talking about the well-known publishing of Civilization III: Play The World! expansion pack. | |
| We'll see if this expansion will bring the peace to Civ2 vs Civ3 controversy. At first sight, it promises multiplayer games, new civilizations and better scenario editing tools; though all these things are already available since a long time ago in Civ2, civ-addicts like us may hail happily the new expansion, that we hope will solve the problems that Civilization III have had since its publishing. In a future column we'll talk about the differences between Civ2 and Civ3 and the personal opinion of this your humble carthaginian servant. | |
| Anyway, we can say happily that Civ2 is already alive and well, and doesn't seem to be affected by Civ3 publishing. We want to emphasize the new scenario projects, like the "Classic World" of our beloved friend Pco: good sources told us that his scenario is going to be launched soon; maybe when you read these lines the scenario is already available (carthaginian mail works as awfully as ever), and we still hope that Jesús-kIndal) ends his Spanish Armada scenario and Juan-Fiera) finally ends his Pizarro scenario... | |
| Sadfully, the summer has killed the first Civ2 multiplayer tournament of our beloved forum. Though, we are now playing a new tournament with a gaming system based on the swiss system (used in chess tournaments), much faster. Alfonsus72 is organizing it, and his great job comforts the whole spanish civilization community. | |
| In these first lines, we've achieved our goal: to take a look at the news of the Civilization world. Deeper problems (comparison between Civ2 and Civ3, first scenario attemps for Civ3, multiplayer competition in Civ2, etc.) will be treated in the next columns of this our loyalest servant. | |
| Death to romans! | |
