Get to UN ASAP. I'm going SpaceShip ASAP. Too many civs hate me.

Must be my winning personality.

Hmm, I don't know about typos, but there are many ERRORS in Civilopedia in 1.17f (read: incorrect data).

Thanks for the advice, NYE, but I'm in a war with Americans who have had RoP agreements with several civs and now have trade embargoes against me (by civs who HAD no trade with me, of course).

I'm not into RoPs, personally. And last time I tried a UN vote, I lost it and ended up reloading. I prefer to learn my lesson and cheat just the once. I have many turns to go, regardless.

Who knows, perhaps I'll just update to 1.21 and keep on going!

You could bribe everyone into alliance vs the Americans. Breaks the trade embargos (maybe not?). Makes them hate the Yankee more than you probably. Then give them stuff and they'll love you. Kinda cheesy, I only use it too bail on games I don't want to continue. For that matter, I can prolly bail on my current game the same way. Only have to give 1 civ the 3 cities I took from them and get them into a war with No2 civ. Then I can hold the vote the next time the option pops up. Of course, I'm only a few turns from the final SS tech. Babble.

Activision has been on a dropped support for anything lately. Except for some sarcastic remarkes from the progammers (example: "If you have 256MB of RAM, get more RAM if you want to load from a save file! We have 512MB"), no real support or answers on technical problems have been adressed for JK2.

I have more faith in firaxis right now then any other computer gamming company out right now.

Boy, that's a scary thought!

Sabre2th · April 15, 2002, 23:04

Even if firaxis's first shot at it was slightly rushed, they are clearly working to fix it. Why shouldn't we have faith in them?

Skanky Burns · April 15, 2002, 23:17

Exactly as Sabre2th said.

Il Duce · April 15, 2002, 23:38

Hopefully 1.21 will be more than spelling changes

Il Duce · April 15, 2002, 23:42

Hopefully they will actually make a usable editor.

What have they told you they have been working on for the last couple of months.....nothing.

I like the game and everything they have done, but I also like to be kept informed, especially when we know that there are many things wrong with the game.

Plus how do we know they won't change something we like? We don't.

Faith is a relative term.

notyoueither · April 15, 2002, 23:50

We know they are working on the editor.

We know they are modifying bombardment.

We now know they are working on MP right now.

What do you want? Their daily schedules?

Grrr · April 15, 2002, 23:50

My dog ate my Civ3 CD?

Here Boy!!!

notyoueither · April 15, 2002, 23:51

Never fear Grrr!!

Maybe he can "dig you up" a copy.

Yes they are, I mean what are they trying to fix?

the glitches and GAMEPLAY. Except for bombardment, we know nothing. Corruption? who knows? ICS? who knows.

I personally don't care about MP, so that would account for my disinterest in that.

The editor does everything I need it to do...so far. Don't know what I will have to change with the new patch.

Grrr · April 16, 2002, 00:10

The B!tch's holding it ransom.

notyoueither · April 16, 2002, 00:25

What are her demands?

Dominae · April 16, 2002, 00:33

Ok people, the readme file on the new patch is coming out Wednesday, which leaves us with a day or so to make some predictions about what is definitely going to be in the patch.

Personally, I think the following aspects will be altered:

1. The AI will use Artillery.
2. Planes will now be able to attack ships.
3. Research will be viable on the higher difficulty levels.
4. The editor will contain more stuff.

Things that will remain unchanged:

1. ICS will still be exploitable
2. Corruption will still be as prevalent.

What do you think?

Dominae

Grrr · April 16, 2002, 01:06

She wants attention.

notyoueither · April 16, 2002, 01:08

Hmmm. Your CD is toast.

Try Morpheus or Gnutella or...

Grrr · April 16, 2002, 01:12

KazaaLite? Download time remaining: 86hrs, 48min.

notyoueither · April 16, 2002, 01:19

Could be worse. NZ could still just have the single 28.8 connection to the entire internet.

Grrr · April 16, 2002, 01:21

No, it's just me.

I would rather have them work hard on the game and have relaxed PR than talk to me all the time and never do anything. They are on these forums, even if they don't post a lot. I trust them to listen to me and give me a decent game, even if its not exactly what I want. They can't please everyone. Don't try to force it.

Grrr · April 16, 2002, 01:53

Say, is there a chance that the patch will be early again. And on whose Friday is this?. Because I am not sure if they use my time +12, GMT, EST, or what.

notyoueither · April 16, 2002, 01:54

I'm looking forward to the next "it's Friday, where's my patch?" thread. The last one was very philosophical.

Heh, Since I will be busy all day friday, I don't mind. But I won't be starting a new game until saturday anyway! Any bets as to whether or not they have to rerelease the patch due to some minor error, again?

player1 · April 16, 2002, 02:00

Does this mean that next (after 1.21f) patch will be in June or July?

Nah, 1.20 was to find the problem with the final patch and patch it.

notyoueither · April 16, 2002, 02:06

player1. It's been roughly 2 months per. I can't believe they will keep up the pace. However I was wrong about this one apparently.

MP opens up another whole can'o-worms.

On that note. Happy birthday KruX.
