"more irratating that getting into a MPP with a civ that declares war on someone the next turn"

Thrawn05, serves you right. I gave up MPP's long ago...Every civ for themselves
hooahh,

Just to add to this thread it is great that Firaxis is continuing to support this game. Civ3 is a great game but does need some work. For those among us that play CTP2, Activision unfortunately dropped support far too early...I don't see Firaxis doing this. Luckilly for CTP2, some fans and modders did not drop support and have made it into an extremely good game once it has been modded. CTP2 keeps getting better, hopefully Civ3 will do the same.

Unfortunately CIV3 is not as 'moddable' as CTP2

But with new patches...

Who knows?

LGT is not about the speed of the play, rather about that late in the game there is not much to do but move an obscene amount of settlers around and not that many improvements to build among other things.

If you ever got around to installing the 1.17f patch SHIFT-A the workers. I assume you meant workers. I SHIFT-A all but a small group of workers that I handle myself. That way the workers leave alone the stuff that is done allready and they have a high priority for pollution. They even stack more than two workers for pollution.

Activision has been on a dropped support for anything lately. Except for some sarcastic remarkes from the progammers (

That's why I boycott Activision and it's products. I know if I buy something from Activi$ion, it will not work properly, and they will not really try to fix it. If I see a product marked "Activi$ion", I just put it back on the shelf and look at something else. It's not worth the money. They are shooting themselves in the butt with that policy.

DOH! Of course I meant workers... (Too much Civ2 lately...) And I tried that when the patch was released. I felt a brief surge of joy with the release of 1.17f, a joy that was soon muddled by the fact that you still had to SHIFT-A every different kind of unit ´But it did solve the worker problem somewhat.

However I still want something more to do in the late game besides fighting pollution and watch the game trundle towards the end...

You have half a point Karamat. OK a full point.

The Modern Era needs a major overhaul.

I hope it is in the works.

What time are we getting the readme

I don´t want to rain on your parade or anything, but such a major overhaul is impossible to patch. It´s hard coded IIRC, and it would mean that CIV3 becomes another game, really.

Direct your hopes towards CIV 4

What do you mean Kamrat? (Aplogies for the previous spelling).

You think the Modern era is unrecoverable? I don't think you have a very good imagination. I could fix it with a mod. I think the designers could fix it with the code.

A simple rearanging of the tech in the Modern Age could be a major improvement. Then you would have time for a BIG war while building the Space Ship. Adding a couple of tech would help even more.

All of which can be done with the current editor.

Hard coded isn't as tough a nut to crack if you have the code. Firaxis could do anything they want to the code (time and money permitting , of course).

What I mean is that the game is already done. What they do now is fine-tuning. They won´t make a major overhaul of the modern era,´cause then it´ll be another game, really.

Maybe we will see that in an expansion or something. but then we´ll have to pay 25$ or so to get it.

I do have good imagination, but I´m not good at modding. But IIRC there´s a number of things that you can´t change in a mod. and this is the hard-coded part, right?

This is exactly my point! WE don´t have the code, so WE can´t really alter all the things that make this game suck. It´s not like it´s open source. There´s limits to modding also.
