Let me get this straight, the guy that left fraxis is starting a kick starter to make a game just like the fall of rome scenario from civ3 conquest expansion pack. Instead of giving your money to this, just buy civ3 complete. You will get this game plus a bunch of other stuff for about the same price.

It actually looks/sounds completely different than Civ. Did you not read the story?

One is a histrocial 4x 2d game which involves you playing barbarians and the other is histrocial 4x 2d game which involves you playing barbarians.

here is screenshot from from at the gates

Spot the difference?

One is made in the Civ 3 engine? And the screenshot has an IGN logo? I'm not getting your point.

So a guy quits Civilization making to make an inferior civilization game, but instead get funding from a kick-starter. Why does this sound completely like a conspiracy to suck us money for our love of kickstarter?

...You say this as though being the barbarians is a new thing...

That the game already exists as a Civ 3 scenario.
You could at least read what he writes.
