Why? If you know where they are, why not have the whole map exposed? This is a necessity for most scenarios but for a regular game, that sounds like cheating. -
Aha. That is one way of using version numbers. It holds prove the patch god I suppose, you got it through on first try.Originally posted by Jeffrey Morris FIRAXIS
Actually, it has more to do with the fact that the first version of this patch we submitted passed QA than the scope of the changes. If it had required fixes, the next version submitted would have been v1.18f, and so forth.

Assuming you mean historically-correct starting positions for the world maps, no, they will not be in the patch.Originally posted by siredgar

I wouldn't expect stacked movement until an expansion pack, if at all. It will take a lot of programming to get the AI to use stacks, plus it will require graphical representation on the interface.
But, dare to dream. They have had quite some time...Comment

BTW - is it jus a coincidence that the bicchange + gamechange = editorchange?Creator of the Civ3MultiToolComment

That would be a scenario, would it not? Guess you lost a fan or two who thinks this is so critical.Originally posted by Dan Magaha FIRAXIS

Do you mean I STILL won't be able to specify player starting locations in the map editor???Originally posted by Dan Magaha FIRAXIS

I think he means simply the ability to specify starting locations generally with the editor, e.g., paint a world and put civs in it.Originally posted by Dan Magaha FIRAXIS

You can specify player starting positions, as you always could. The ability to assign a specific civ or player to that starting position has not been implemented as of v1.17f.

The AI does not need stack movement. They can move each unit individually at speed of light. It is the human player, who needs a break from the damn tedius movement. It does not require any new art work. As of right now, you can already put more than 1 units on the same tile. What more graphic representation is needed?Originally posted by Slax

Group movement in my opinion, is very easy to implement. If people at Faraxis does not know how to do this, they can come to Brown Unversity, and I can over-enroll them in my computer science lecture.==========================

I agree that the AI don't necessarily need stacked movement (I was thinking along the lines of staked combat).Originally posted by Dida

Still in order to add stacked movement you must be able to choose whether a unit is joining or leaving a stack, and you need to know whether a unit is currently stacked or not. These issues could be (poorly) instituted only in the right click menu, but really should have graphical representation much like armies do.Comment

as far as the coding is concerned, these can be easily done if they keep their source code neat enough.Originally posted by Slax

For graphic representation is secondary, and should not be of any technical difficulty.==========================

firaxis has already conceded that v.1.17f sucks by naming it v1.17f.
F=failure, fubar, frustrating
Call me when the release a patch with an s
S=super, stupendous, stellar
And no, F does not = finishedComment

You're right, I think it means finalized.And no, F does not = finished
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
