    AFAIK Civ3:Complete has no new code.

        I will not buy another game from Firaxis, until Conquests is fixed to my satisfaction. This includes Civ4.

          Interesting they would say programmers are needed on it then, isn't it?

          And Trip - your first post was spoken like a true corporate hack! My congratulations to you.

              I was wondering the same thing. Here's Jesse's answer:

              The creation of another patch would delay Civ:Complete (latest patched versions of all 3). Its not the primary reason for the On Hold status, but it was a factor in the decision.

                Wouldn't it be more proper to hold the release of Civ3: Complete until last patch for C3C was done - so that the name Civ3: Complete would actually be accurate?

                I fail to see the logic of the defensive argument from Firaxis (except from a Corporate point of view perhaps).

                  Corporate logic?

                    Focusing on where the cash is is only sensible for companies who want to survive to make future games.
                    True, those many here will have long memories about this unfinished game.

                      The question is: will people who won't buy C3Complete be able to download that 'latest' patch?
                      Or will we have to buy C3Complete?

                        No, when they say latest patch they just mean 1.22, not a further patch that would only be available through Civ: Complete. Not even Firaxis would do that.

                              Well it's a shame, but the reason I am not playing Civ3 at the moment is it was already on the cards it would turn out this way. Sad indeed, and I hope that people remember the way this has been handled.

                                ahhh they be cads

                                they have the money we have paid for good product and have yet to deliver

                                wonder how they would feel if they came into my bar, and they only got 1/3 of the drink in each glass, yet I still charged them standard price...

                                yeah I know what I would say, and that is what I would say to the Firaxis Cowards if they had the courage to front up...

                                but they are not going to show up are they
