What is this SDK that is coming?

[Grandpa Troll]

I have heard and read about SDK coming for CIV IV early 2006.

Is this something fairly user friendly or more for a more "enlightened modding group"?

I am not looking to do any "publicly released scenarios" more for personal enjoyment

Thanks for any information

Basically (& AFAIK), it'll be for people who are familiar with programming in C++. Before the game was released, they talked about releasing it's core source code; this'll be it.

Ok

Thanks

I recognize you sir as one who will fall right in

Im lazy and dumb

I will just take bits and pieces from folks who do hard work and use for my own demented little scenarios

Thanks for the response though

Yeah, I'll be waiting for the "Civ IV SDK for Dummies" book to be published before I get to far in myself...

I heard something that it was just an AI SDK or will it allow for gameplay etc?

Having dealt with the source code for ctp2 they probably could give us everything but the graphics engine and it would prevent people from "stealing" the game. We ned to add more unit and building features, citystyles, etc (as well as AI)

Gameplay too. I remember that Soren said "It's basically everything that I write."
