Yippie! Just downloaded it at work and e-mailed it home, only took about 5 minutes to download, but I am sure that will change really quick. Thanks for letting us know the patch is up.

Getting it now...
Don't know if this will get any use though. I put my CivIII down a few weeks ago. Not sure these fixes will alter what made me stop playing in the first place. But thanks to the developers for giving us something.

It downloaded pretty fast (about two minutes, maybe three). It loaded my saved file just fine.
I haven't tested all the features yet, but right away, I noticed two things:
(1) the corruption levels are unchanged — they are identical to what they were before I updated.
(2) the population numbers are hard to read — it looks like you tried to put in some shading or something, but it didn't work very well
(3) the tech I was researching (Steel) did indeed take one turn longer, as advertised"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatum." — William of OckhamComment

Make sure you've advanced to the next turn. I noticed that when I tweaked the corruption settings and restarted a saved game, the corruption levels would not recalculate until the next turn.Originally posted by Libertarian

Thanks. I'll try that right away."Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatum." — William of OckhamComment

New turn. No change.
Perhaps the reduction is extremely subtle, or is effected in some way by the configuration of my empire. But I see no difference between what's in my ledger and what's on the new screen. I even have corruption in my capital. (Democracy)."Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatum." — William of OckhamComment

I look forward to reading the reviews. BTW 5mb is a very meaty patch. Thank you Firaxis.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Sweet! After it downloads on my 26.4 connection I'll be able to install it in 4 hours!
It's about time for a Satellite connection since I can't get a darn cable or DSL... $%#$#$&%^& boonies!!!! Glad it's here though, and it looks like a promising start from the readme. Thanks!

I can't wait to get home in two hour to download the patch, but until then I have a few questions patches.
1) Will I be able to play my saved games with the patch?
2) What will the patch erase when I install it? (I guess I could just find that out for myself by not zipping into the Civ3 folder right away)
3) Will you be looking for more ideas for future patches?
4) If the answer to question 4 is yes, then please visit the thread entitled "Desires For Future Civ3 Patches" to get an extensive list of ideas.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment

Damn, I'm on dialup as well. This patch is 7.3mb! Wasn't there supposed to be a smaller version of this?
But what I'm really here to say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
I hope that wasn't too 'kiss ass'..."Careful? Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a coat hanger while I was still in the womb?" -SPComment

I'm running Communism in my game, and there is definately a big difference. Rather than one shield of production in my distant size 12 (I believe) city, I now have seven.Originally posted by Libertarian
