[RodLosAngeles] oops
[Faboba] EB in the UK is possibly the worst games shop out there

[Willy1] I have played CivIII, the EB here in Regina, Sk said they wouldn't ahve it till tomorrow but I went today and as I was there it was out
[Richard_Roma] Depends on which branch
[RodLosAngeles] .4who's top of Serie A these days?
[Guest32406] how is it, Willy??
[Guest32406] cuz some of these reviews are so pessimistic
[StarBegotten] hey Faboba, prepared to back up you trolling with a reply?
[Marcelo74] ..5I think the game will be dissapointing in some items
[RodLosAngeles] .4Italkian dude???
[Richard_Roma] I was reading some posts by some guy called ying on the forums, is the game as bad as he makes out?
[Faboba] EB here is overpriced, the staff are useless, they fowl up your pre-orders, their hiring policy and program is abysmal, their stock is limited, their communication with central office is pish too
[RodLosAngeles] Italian*
[StarBegotten] Not in our store it aint!
[RodLosAngeles] .4don't ya just love this British chat
[Faboba] StarB - Oh well pat on the head for you
[LoQtus] richard: some of the people of Firaxis have put yin on their ignore list, that should tell you something ;)
[Faboba] I'll marry Game
[StarBegotten] Were the same company!
[Marcelo74] .5So...Europe release is the same date than in America?
[Faboba] I know
[Faboba] They just do it better
[RodLosAngeles] .4NO
[StarBegotten] no they dont!
[Guest32406] .5which items u think, marcelo?
[Willy1] It's a great game!!!! It runs a little sluggish on my 500Mhz 384MB RAM but not too bad
[Richard_Roma] Considering how long it took me to find a copy of Euorpa Universalis I'd agree with Faboba as regards EB
[RodLosAngeles] .4EU sucked
[Marcelo74] .5I hoped new Civ would have politics
[Faboba] My opinions are based on the Glasgow central EB and from past experience
[Guest32406] will, as good as Civ2? better? what you think?
[Marcelo74] I also think that the combat mode wont be as interesting as expected
[LoQtus] marcelo: no, in the States it's already released, the rest of the world has to wait until the 16th
[Faboba] But like I say, not nearly as bad as HMV
[StarBegotten] I dont know what stores you guys are visiting, but it sounds like they need a good kick up the arse!

[StarBegotten] A second hepling? Dont mind if I do!
[StarBegotten] Sarah?
[Lonestar1] Actually, weapons were intially provided by the Brit's and Israelis
[RodLosAngeles] yes
[RodLosAngeles] lol
[StarBegotten] hmmmm , oddly erotic....
[Lonestar1] The small arms were all soviet stuff the Israelis stole
[Faboba] Ahhh.. Sarah..... Rod..... the whole link
[RodLosAngeles] .4ummmmmm
[RodLosAngeles] .4yeah, Rod is dead now.....I am Sarah
[Marcelo74] I think USA was so furious that they started the attack with out thinking about it
[Lonestar1] and the first SAMs handed out were British *Blowpipes*
[Marcelo74] This should be a CIA war
[Marcelo74] Not USA ARMy
[Lonestar1] .(which the Arginitinians used againest the Brits in the Falklands, but that's another rant/story)
[Faboba] RLA - Man..... you have issues
[Lonestar1] Yep
[LoQtus] actually, it should be a war against the CIA: the biggest terrorist supporting orginization in the world...
[Marcelo74] Sorry I didnt get that Lonestar?
[RodLosAngeles] .4lol.......I told u not to call me that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SARAH!!!!!!
[Faboba] You kidding - The CIA started the whole thing. This is Dallas all over again
[StarBegotten] why Sarah, in that dress...

[StarBegotten] oooooooooooooooooooooo...............
[LoQtus] RLA/Sarah, why don't you just change your nick: /_nick NewNick (without the _)
[Faboba] Lonestar - OOOOOOOOOOOH
[Marcelo74] Argentina used a lot the Exocet missile...provided by france
[RodLosAngeles] .4who's amking fun of British handheld-SAMs??????
[Lonestar1] and they used them during the Falklands conflict. They worked enough the Brits sold them to the Saudis for the purpose of supplying the Afghanis
* StarBegotten points
[Marcelo74] But Malvinas war was the most stupid war of the history
[RodLosAngeles] .4handheld-SAMs are at the spear-head of the British army!!!!!

[Lonestar1] Exocet was a Air-surface missile carried by planes...
[Marcelo74] 2 Stupid people wanted to remain in power by making war
[Marcelo74] Exocet was also fired from land
[StarBegotten] thats all wars aint it?
[Faboba] SAMs should only ever be tracking
[Marcelo74] against ships
[Lonestar1] Blowpipes are surface-air missiles carried by people
[Faboba] Otherwise...... I mean..... planes tend to MOVE. FAST
[RodLosAngeles] .4don't take the piss outta the handheld-SAMs!!!!!!!!!
[Marcelo74] I have no idea...SAMs were not very efective in that war
[StarBegotten] hey we won! thats the main thing.
[Lonestar1] On Both sides. :D
[Lonestar1] [------SAMS weren't effective on both sides
[Marcelo74] Star some wars are because people hate eachother, or for resorces...this was for remainin in power

[Faboba] 'Sarah' - On the big one MAYBLE
[RodLosAngeles] dunno.....they should have at least 2 squares
[Faboba] On the small one NOT A CHANCE
[Marcelo74] They had to fly to wave level using reaction planes
[Lonestar1] Marcelo: And you all had a American Crusier. so?
[RodLosAngeles] .4only about 4 hours til I get my Civ3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Lonestar1] In fact, If I recall, the Brits were scared Sh*tless over the General Belgrano
[Marcelo74] Sorry Lonestar...what is that of the cruiser?
[RodLosAngeles] .4ok, stupid shitty conversation over
[Marcelo74] Brits destroyed the Belgrano to continue with war
[Lonestar1] You said Arginitian planes were downed by AMERICAN sidewinders (as if it was our fault)

[Lonestar1] Well, they did pay Cash. ;)
[(RodLosAngeles)] hi loqtus
[LoQtus] you and mike were in different meetings?
[LoQtus] (mike was back earlier)
[(RodLosAngeles)] I can answer questions about pretty much anything now guys
[Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS] He wasn't in mine
[Marcelo74] Lonestar..Argentina was too important in that time..remember war between capitlism and communism was being fighted in S. America
[(RodLosAngeles)] no, it was a different meeting
[LoQtus] Firaxis is that big? :)
[(RodLosAngeles)] can't reveal any details though

[Lonestar1] My mistake Marcelo: It's mostly German
[Marcelo74] Jeff...will we have a flexible scenario editor?
[Lonestar1] or *Aleman* to you guys
[StarBegotten] you can answer any questions, but cant reveal details? WTF?
[(RodLosAngeles)] depends on what you mean by "flexible"

[Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS] I think he meant he can't reveal details about his meeting
[StarBegotten] fair enough
[(RodLosAngeles)] that is correct
[LoQtus] he'd better ;)
[Lonestar1] Like I said, I think that if The Soviets were to invade Germany, The UK would've sent more divisions than Argentinia...
[(RodLosAngeles)] well there was some discussion about things for a forthcoming patch
[StarBegotten] like what?
[Immortal_Wombat1] yipeeeee
[Marcelo74] I mean will I ever create scenarios like in Civ II?
[(RodLosAngeles)] although it might be sometime, we have a lot of things to address
[Faboba] Lone - Well DUH
[Immortal_Wombat1] ah well, i can wait
*** Richard_Roma is now known as Sid_Meir
[Immortal_Wombat1] to get the game that is
[StarBegotten] what is top priority for the patch?
[(RodLosAngeles)] we aren't sure whether to address it all in one patch or to release numerous little fixes, ala Black and White
[Lonestar1] Well, I can't. I'm going to go into griping, Ingratful Fanboy mode here
[Sid_Meir] hello minions
[Lonestar1] ;)
[Sid_Meir] lol
[(RodLosAngeles)] top priority is to fix small issues, and I'm sure you know about the whole archer missile thing
[Faboba] Jeff - One big, PLEASE
[StarBegotten] what next then?
[Lonestar1] Sid Muir! THE Sid Muir? didn't you found the Sierra club?
[(RodLosAngeles)] then we can move onto MP possibilities
[Faboba] Jeff - How does that work anyway. I thoguht Missiles would be air units right?
[(RodLosAngeles)] we have numerous plans for future MP but it may be some time yet
[(RodLosAngeles)] yes missiles are air units
[Sid_Meir] theres a full version of red faction for free
[Faboba] Aren't air units impervious to ground units?
[Lonestar1] Jeff, will the MP be on a network like MSN or what]?
[Immortal_Wombat1] what archer/missile thing?
[StarBegotten] what is the best MP model for Civ?
[LoQtus] IW: read the forums, will ya? ;)
[(RodLosAngeles)] ok, I'll try to answer one thing at a time here
[Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS] Missiles are treated like artillery so you can move them around to different locations.... Since they have no attack/defense rating you better protect them.
[(RodLosAngeles)] hehe....well said
[(RodLosAngeles)] thats one question out of the way
[Faboba] But........
[Immortal_Wombat1] cant be bothered locutus, im doing my hw remember ;)
[(RodLosAngeles)] but?

*** Sid_Meir (Sabre_ace7@194.165.160.148) Quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[StarBegotten] let him finish!
[(RodLosAngeles)] we intend to make them more like air units as they should be
[Faboba] But why would you be moving them like artillery if they're air units?????
[LoQtus] sure...
[LoQtus] ;)
[(RodLosAngeles)] I didn't decide how missiles would function but clearly the current system has its flaws
[Faboba] So whats the big fuss about - archers take out missiles on the ground, fair enough
[(RodLosAngeles)] they shouldn't be as vulnerable as they are now
[Faboba] Archers take out missiles in the air........
[(RodLosAngeles)] well that shouldn't be so
[Lonestar1] Well, just thought I'd say this because I'm sure y'all haven't heard it enough:
*** Mercator (~Java_user@62.131.30.15) has joined #Apolyton
[Faboba] No, I mean missiles on the ground in reailty are vulnerable, thats realistic

[(RodLosAngeles)] thanx lonestar, we do try

[Faboba] Yeah - agreed. Big thumbs up to you two and the rest of the team
[(RodLosAngeles)] I have a thing for the Romans
[StarBegotten] agreed!
[Lonestar1] I prefer Romulans myself....
[Faboba] ( Someone likes being Red..... )
[(RodLosAngeles)] maybe thats why
[Faboba] Could you not have made the Russians red ;0?
[Faboba] ;) rather
[(RodLosAngeles)] the civ-specific Roman music is also quite catchy
[LoQtus] cool
[Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS] Hmmmm.... I was just in Jeff Morris' office... and he's not in the chat....
[(RodLosAngeles)] there was some mention of an editor to allow the user to change the colour of the civs, but thats not a priority
