Specific Start points??

[Spec]

Do we have that now? If so, how does it work??

Thanks.

From what I hear...No.

What?! OMG you can't be serious!!

I'm dissapointed, really dissapointed. I always defend firaxis when whiners come around but now......I'm sorry but Firaxis sucks.
How hard is it to make specific start points?!

I definitely agree Spectator.

I've been mentioning it into some of my recent posts, but as Mike claimed several months ago (here on Apolyton!!!!!) that he was working on it, I wonder why it isn't here/finished yet !!!!

It's quite embarassing actually: they provide TWO WORLD MAPS in the official game release WITHOUT CORRECT STARTING LOCATIONS (you get the point Firaxis?) ,

then they claim to be 'working' (I repeat 'working') on it, and now we wonder ...

I don't consider myself a whiner, but this is really too uncomprehensible after all the requests that have been posted here.

And worse: NOT EVEN A SINGLE WORD (or did I miss out on something here?) about it!

That's just being rude all the way and definitely

UNFAIR !

Fair enough Firaxis?

PS: the longer you wait clearifying this up , the more it will become as a boomerang into your faces (and to your pockets as well)

I start when and where my wife lets me....and she is very specific about it.

But really.....if Westwood can do it with C&C....so can Firaxis.

I asked about that in the chat today. From what I can gather, the "set specific civ" option in the editor will eventually be used to place specific start points as well as cities, units, etc.

Many are choked today, but bet good money on them playing tomorrow, or the next day. When the thing is done.

They can't do everything at once guys... That's how we got AI self destruct in 1.17, remember?

There seemed to be quite a few internal changes in this patch. This points to an even more hurried release than was apparent on the surface--since they were hoping for this all along, they're now seemingly undoing all the junk work they had to quickly throw together to get the game out the door and replacing it with better, more modifiable code (for them, of course, but more modifiable code for them means more and better features they can add for us).

eventully. a word firaxis loves to throw around. a word from their tounges means nothing. we shall have multiplayer. eventully. we shall have a "robust scenario editor". eventully. we shall have everything they promised. eventully. in the mean time, what do we have exactly? if you think logically, and i'm not being a whiner or jacka$$ right now, but really think. if they claimed top have multiplayer, and claimed to have a "robust scenario maker", and delievered niether, we have an unfinished project. i'm not calling it a "beta" because technically the game is playable, but with bugs / faulty promises it closely resembles one.

i think the wc3beta has crashed less than civ3, and thats a pirated beta on pirate bnet servers. it really makes you think.

eventully.

It sounds like a later patch is going to be really good.

does this mean that firaxians are poor spellers, or what? Is that what I'm supposed to think?

[Inverse Icarus]

no, apparently i'm a poor speller. thank god i didnt have to spell on the SAT

eventually

I refuse to play on a world map when the civs are in the wrong locations. Until Specific starts come around, I'm going to just play random maps. Why not? They are both equally fictional. No, the Germans didn't originate in Australia.

Actually, as Civ3 stands at the moment, it is probably quite hard to implement specific start points. I'm guessing (and hoping) that some time in maybe a few months there will be a patch/Xpack probably for sale, rather than to download, which will include MP and scenario support.
