Response to Perfection vs Excellence

 

Ofcourse you know better (much better compared to me). If there is room for developement in an excellent game, then there is also a chance to have a bug or a bad feature. No need to go away from a game if u think there is a bug in it.

Again no programming team can make a game that pleases everybody, however excellent it (both team and game) can be. Ocourse in this case the fault is with the firaxis also, by not learning from their previous mistakes. Regarding the SGL choice, I think they wanted to put a little more randomeness into the the game. Is that wrong?, depends on our way of thinking, but not on how much we know about the games or game making.

When designing a new game improvement, the game makers think about new customers, but not about expert game players. People like us will buy it anyway (even if we don't like it).

  Tourney Mission Statement:
Existing Civ III tournaments, contests and group events are universally plagued by elements or shortcomings that lead often to compartmentalized results. Spoilers and privileged info is readily made available while games are still in progress. The game itself remains in flux through a patching process. The scoring system measures only a few elements of the gameplay. We at Realms Beyond are not satisfied to settle for these conditions and compromises.

The Realms Beyond is home to gamers who go beyond the norm, who creatively add depth to good games to make them better, who choose to set our own added limits to gameplay for the purpose of increasing challenge, varying gameplay flavor, and getting more out of the games we love. We discard the usual standards and venture into realms beyond, where we share our passion for gaming with one another, and with those who are like-minded.

We develop and refine our tournament as we go, with the help of the players. Each game is subject to rules, but we keep the framework light, the emphasis on excellence, the focus on the spirit of the game. Come and play. Share, compare, teach, and learn.
