Possibly good news, possible bad news about an actual Scenario editor

[Plutarck]

I'm betting they just copied this file from SMAC, but there's always the chance it's a good sign. Check the menu.txt file in your /text directory. Here's the interesting parts:

It also has some listing for what seems to be a network game.


I'm rather guessing this is in fact just reused from SMAC, but I find it amusing if nothing else. I believe they've done the same things with other files too.

Makes you wonder though, doesn't it?

i think it was because civ3 was obviously ruched out the door, so the things that werent finished were all hidden. wich means, maybe if the will finsih them and release in a patch well be able to make scenerios?
