What do you think this CD for Civ III should be worth?

[CrONoS]

teturkhan : You're working with the civ3 conquest editor?
Can you tell us something about the editor?

see ya

[teturkhan]

Actually no I am not currently working with the editor. I have heard though that is more flexible than the current which should allow for more dynamic scenarios.

Producing a Best of the Net CD

Hi guys,

The specific proposal which Teturkhan put together -- funding mod makers full time to create an independently sold CD -- will not happen in the Civ Conquests timeframe, for a variety of financial, legal, and business reasons. The door is definitely open for something like this in the future.

However, the concept of creating a separate CD compilation of some of the best material from fan sites such as this one is still quite alive. Since we simply won't raise the price of Civ Conquests, I'm very interested in putting out such a CD as part of a pre-sell program. As in, pre-order Civ Conquests and get a "Best of the Net" CD full of goodies -- some familiar favorites, and some exclusive (for a time). This accomplishes several things:

1) It rewards loyal fans who were going to buy the game anyway, without requiring anyone to shell out more cash.
2) It gets fresh content into the hands of players that might not normally seek out and download these mods.
3) It brings more people into the community made strong by fan sites such as Apolyton and CivFanatics.
4) Pre-sell programs with quality content makes retailers happy. (Happy retailers = more product promotion in stores = more units sold = more Civ products in the future. Plus, that's my job. )
5) It fills the gap while you're waiting for Civ Conquests to ship.
6) It's a nice litmus test that provides evidence for the viability of future projects like the one Teturkhan proposed.

I have nothing official to announce yet; I am working out some details behind making this a reality. Perhaps I'll start a new thread once I have more info. After all, part of the success of something like this depends on involvement from all of us here to really make a splash.

I thank all of you for your interest and your posts, especially Teturkhan for getting the ball rolling on this in the first place. I'm looking forward to making this come together.

Best,
Jeff Foley

Panag,
Have you played Double your Pleasure, The Ancient Mediterranean MOD, or Test of Time?

Edit: The full, current versions not the versions on PTW

hi ,

yep , why ?

have a nice day

[Randolph]

Then you should know there's a lot more to them then simple game tweaks. These MODs (and there are probably other ones) are FAR beyond what the average CIVer or even hard core civ player would do.

Conquests is promising, if you include this. I mean, it's new civs, new units, better editor, blah. All that is good, but the promise from Firaxis for a bug-free game is whut would make Conquests worth buying. And have this as a pre-order thing, or $5 extra, or whutever, and I'll for 100% sure buy this XP.

[Kaos XIII]

This is a good idea! I'm in, just for the new civs. I'd definitely pay $15.00 for this CD. And now that Jeff_Atari says it won't cost extra cash.

[Kuciwalker]

If there actually were NEW terrain types, heck yes! 20$!

[mrmitchell]

Nah. Don't need to make it too confusing. Remember, realism , depth , but gameplay .
