Over 250 changes to the epic game!!!

[statusperfect]

How has the Epic Game changed for Civ Conquests?
Civilization III: Conquests introduces over 250 changes to the standard Epic Game. These include new Wonders of the World, city specialists, governments, civ attributes, disasters, unit abilities, interface changes, game options, and victory conditions.

This is good news indeed

da-yum



(hopefully they all work )

Hopefully that doesn't include spelling corrections etc. in the civlopedia.

[Kaos XIII]

That sounds like a lot. I think they might be including all the scenarios.

Or yeah, maybe they did include the spelling corrections.

It probably does.

The list is impressive for the scenarios, too:

What do the Conquest scenarios add to the Civ experience?
Each Conquest is a self-contained adventure that reinvents the Civ experience within the context of one period of history. They each bring new strategies, tough decisions, and a different feel to the game. Some favor straight-out war, while others emphasize diplomacy. Some require constant expansion; in others, it is all about culture. In total, the Conquests provide:

- Over 85 new technologies
- Over 50 new units
- Over 60 new buildings and wonders
- 30 new resources
- More than 8 new governments

Edit: damn, I've just seen that this is old news, posted already in another thread. Anyway, great stuff!

What is " epic game " ?

You mean perhaps not scenarios but the game that start from year 4000 B.C. and never ends ?

If the editor will allow the maximum freedom to the " epic game " well,this upgrade must be bought immediatly,if not I have to take an aspirin.

Thanks

I assume that "epic game" means the standard normal civ game.

Also, note that new civs are not mentioned in that quote in the first post. Make of that what you will.

Q: How many Civ tribes can be played in the epic game?
A: Players can choose any one of the sixteen original tribes, the eight Play the World tribes, or the seven Civ Conquests tribes, for a total of thirty-one playable civilizations.

[FrustratedPoet]

Well that's nice then.

I think by 'epic' game they meant the scenerioes, not the standard civ game, otherwise it won't be 'epic'.
Well, scenerioes are nice, but I would preper a real 'civ' game.

[Tiberius]

The text says: "standard epic game". I cannot imagine what a standard scenario could be, so I bet it is about the standard game.

[WarpStorm]

The 'epic game' is regular random map play.

[Gunter]

If epic game is from 4000 B.C. to infinite, I hope the editor will allow to this epic game to use , beside new units , even scenarios units and improvements.

Let's see what will happen,in any case from 4000 B.C. to infinite is the success key of CIV ,therefore it does not have to be removed,otherwise Sid will march over Atari claiming his rights.

uhm... but 85 new techs in the regular game? that would be about a doubling (!!!) of the current number of research goals.

and 60 new improvements? how on earth will you ever manage to build all those in all cities before 2050 AD?


i'm torn between seeing the "how-can-that-be?" and a beta-testers affirmation
