    I don't want that in next few years people remember Civ3 barbarians by "don't step on NW-SE axis" tactics.

    Kinda ruins Civ3 name.
    what's the deal with barbarians? NW-SE?

      Not to worry, the 'NW-SE barbarian defense tactic is already stock and trade'!

        That would be a great Easter Egg.

          Does anyone anywhere actually care about Pirates?
          (Yes, I realize saying this in a Civ forum may be a little biased... )

            Well now that you mention it, I care that the 'Pirates' carried off my cherished, though seemingly ill-fed programers!

              I actually am interested in Pirates myself, but I don't have the system to run it, so I won't be playing it anytime soon.

                  Barbarians will only attack units which are at the tiles NW and SE of them - which they do rabidly. Other than that they're completely passive and usually fortify off in the middle of no where.

                    I've had them chase me down for long distances if I tried to avoid them.

                        I'm back. I think they are setting themselves up for a major disappointment but its their dime. Hope this won't detract from other projects after it is released.

                            I'm actually surprised that they were working on a new patch. I was very confident that 1.22 would be the last patch anyway.

                            Apparantly he might want to continue to patch the game in private...... that would be a cool thing for him to do! If he does so, I suggest we all support him by, say, $5, over paypall!

                              With that, Firaxis could 'freelance under contract' someone notable and competant to work over the Conquest Code; following of course our suggestions in order by merit (read money) and then lets make a contribution!

                                Hmm...

                                When are supposed to be released Pirates and Civ3:Compelete?

                                Maybe after they get out, Firaxis guys would show mercy for another patch?



                                P.S.
                                It's a real pitty if you consider that original Civ3 and PtW at the end of patch cycle were prtty much bug free.
