...on any of the new editor features? I'm dying to hear what I'll be able to come up with for my mod. Does anyone have any clues as to what we might expect? Any hints from Firaxis?

So far all we know is that any features available in the official Conquest scenarios will be moddable by users."It takes you years to learn how to play like yourself." Miles Davis -
unfortunately there hasn't been a lot said about the editor. It would be great if someone from Atari could stop by and give us some info and maybe a few screens.
I want to know:
Can we add terrains?
Can we add eras?
Can we name parts of the map (like in SMAC)?
Can we edit the power of nuclear weapons?Comment

My guess is no on all accounts.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

I don't think the editor has all the kinks worked out yet. That could be why we haven't heard much.Comment

The editor was used to make all the Conquests included. If a feature hasn't been advertised as being in a scenario, it likely isn't in the editor.Seemingly Benign

Of course it's finished. It's less than a month before release date, all the disks have been burned and packaged already. Any further changes will be dealt with in a patch.Originally posted by GhengisFarb

yeah, worker jobs... it's really annoying not being able to terraform like engineers could in civ2. i've been asking for this editability feature ever since 1.06f.Originally posted by donegeal

new terrain would mean the graphics would have to be changed (e.g. if you add wasteland, you'd have to create files for it bordering to grassland, plains, desert, coast and tundra)- Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity

I doubt that it is finished. If it was totally finished and ready to go then what would be the real point of waiting longer to release it? They are probably working out the last of the problems.Of course it's finished. It's less than a month before release date, all the disks have been burned and packaged already.

Yep, and although it would be a pain it would still be worth it.new terrain would mean the graphics would have to be changed (e.g. if you add wasteland, you'd have to create files for it bordering to grassland, plains, desert, coast and tundra)Comment

Waiting for a holiday maybe, people tend to spend more ...

Shouldn't take a month either though to burn and package/deliver..Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Right now I would be happy if the editor had no bugs. More options for the editor are secondary.Comment

Funny, I hadn't heard that it had gone gold. Which I seriously doubt it has, or there'ld be news about it around here pretty fast.Originally posted by Willem

Just because its less than a month from the announced and planned release date, doesn't mean it's already in the disk-production and packaging stage. If they've still got show-stopper bugs showing up, it could easily get delayed a month or more. I doubt that will happen, but you never know. And around here, most release dates get taken with a serious grain of salt until they actually tell us it's gone gold.Comment

Are you saying that the release date has been delayed? Last I heard, it was supposed to be on the shelves Oct. 27, at least in this part of the world.Originally posted by Sheik
