Compared to last week's, this was a ****ty update...

[Gramphos]

in the bottom of 'http://www.civ3.com/faq7.cfm' there is a link I can't move the mouse over without an error. "Error: Mac Compatility enabled, button link has no name. Simply add class=fade and name=somethingunique to this anchor tag."

Yes, well, but compared to earlier weeks this is above average.

Neither can I Gramphos, but it talks about the end-game map playback, of which a picture already exists in the gallery, so more then likely, it's not a new screenshot, just a link to that screen.

That is true, but I thought Dan wanted to know.

Thanks, it should be fixed now.

There actually is a lot of new info in the FAQ. You have to read through the whole thing though, since the old is mixed in with the new. The section on Combat had a lot of new stuff about Conscripts (they only have 2 hit points, you can get them from goodie huts as well as through the draft), Mobilization, and Armies.

[SerapisIV]

Hey Dan, do you get any advance warning from webpages that are about to post Civ3 previews/reviews? Also, which websites should we be searching for early Civ3 reviews? Which sites/magazines did Firaxis send Civ3 gold copies to?

[Gramphos]

Can conscripts be upgraded to normal units after winning combat?

That reminds me, do conscripts remain normal soldiers after you demobilize society? Or is drafting a peacetime option as well? Can conscripts raise their rank to normal/vet through combat victories?

Do armies get morale/veteranship upgrades? If so is it by individual unit, or does the army as a whole get upgraded?

From the Combat FAQ:

Thus, an army of four veteran knights would have twenty hitpoints.

As I figure it, that would be 16 hitpoints. Four elite knights would have twenty hitpoints. I know, I know: picky, picky...

When it comes to websites, I don't really get any warning at all, to be honest. For big print features, we usually know in advance, since the articles / features are done well before the magazines hit newsstands, but websites are a completely different beast.

I'm not sure who handles sending out the press review copies, probably someone at Infogrames.
