Since the recent discovery of not being able to create scenarios, as of yet, I thought a comment (ask the civ team) sent to Firaxis would be nice. Also, since a 'ask the civ team' update would be very appropiate for Friday. It didn't only concern that topic but other topics as well that make me feel the game has been rushed. Here is a copy of the e-mail I sent to Firaxis, tell me what you think. Not neccasarily how 'good' or 'bad' the e-mail was but what your thoughts are on the questions I asked.
Now many features that were advertised for Civ3 have not been included. Such as a scenario editor (no possibility for scenario creation yet), MP (hopefully coming at least in the Spring), and other features that were not mentioned by you (Firaxis) but were expected to be in the but have been left out. Such features as having many 'zoom in & out' levels (currently two for the regular game play & one for the game editor) for the regular game play and game editor. Many 'bugs' have also been reported for the game, which is expected. Honestly though, I didn't expect the game to be lacking this many features and included this many bugs. With that being said in all good intent, I was wondering what the future is for patches? Will you only be fixing 'bugs' in patches? Will you only be adding other features, such as scenario editing capabilities? Will you be doing both of those tasks? Also, when is the first patch expected to come out. If all possible could you explain what the hopes (included aspects) for the first patch will be and others after that? Even though, you were expecting a question on MP I will restrain my comments for a later time.[wink] One last question (sorry for the redundancy of questions), will you be looking for suggestions on (such as my request for more 'zoom in & out' levels) added features that would be very minor to the game but will improve the overall game a great deal?
