1.29f PATCH & CHAT THIS FRIDAY!

[ixnay]

Good. After not playing civ for a month or so, this should draw me right back in.

[lockstep]

Although this is supposed to be the 'Scenario editor' patch, I really hope that Firaxis has also exposed more of the general game rules in the editor. (E.g. I always wanted to fiddle with food box sizes.)

Regarding auto-bombard ... sounds more like an X-pack feature.

Great news, Firaxis

No, no, don't say that! I really want my auto-bombard! I like bringing in a stack of 10 or so Artillery etc, but it's such a pain firing them off one at a time. Please, please don't make me wait until the fall!

At least I can count on selecting terrain that the AI can't build cities on. I won't even have to bother with starving it out of Tundra or Desert, the way I'm doing it now.

Just in time for my birthday! How did they know?

I'm worried about all this talk about v1.29f being the last patch Firaxis is going to but out for Civ3. Each patch has created new bugs which called for another patch to fix it. If they've decided to abandon patching before the general public has even tested v1.29f then what happens if we uncover more bugs?

Well of course this won't be the last patch ever, just until the XP comes out, which in a sense is a patch itself. Just not a free one. And there will no doubt be a patch or two after that as well.

woo hoo!!! kudos to firaxis for continued work on a game for what is in effect no charge. gotta love em. they try and give us what we want. i for one cant get enough of this game, despite all that i think could be improved....ahem* sorry for the rambling. woohoo!

I hope this one works on WinXP!

I hope this patch allows me to play the game. The version after .17 (was it .19??) never worked for me on WinXP, even though .17 worked fine. .19 did exactly like the first version of the game did and wouldn't launch, in any mode. I would like to play Civ3 again. I'll stick to CTP until I get a version of Civ3 that works!

Kinda lonely, i'm the only one here. /me pitches up tent and waits for friday. Heh, can't wait to see patch though, since i'm assuming the Editor will be with this patch(hopefully).

I was close with the release date and patch number about two weeks ago:

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1090887#post1090887

I predicted Thursday, 18 July and a patch number of 1.27f. I may yet be spot on with the date if they choose to release it a day early like they did with one or two of the previous patches.

[Fidel]

i agree with solver. why are the chats always scheduled so late
anyway, i have to pack my stuff, i am moving. so i'll have no time for that

[Deathwalker]

Great News

[Solver]

Sorry, LaRusso .

They said no PtW feautures are in the Editor, but some hacking should be done then .

Well today is my birthay, too. 16 July is the best to have your birthday.

JoeDaddy & Boris Godunov: Happy Birthday to you!
