B: "no, let 'em fidget around a bit more"
A: "come on, they've waited long enough"
B: "i know, but that makes it even more fun to read their comments"
A: "ah... all right..."
B: "hey, why don't we delay the patch a few more day *biggrin*"
A: "you're a real sadist "
B: "thank you "
[...]

... and that's why we won't find our until tomorrow

The sad thing is, I think he's right....

I WAN THE PATCH!!! If I don't get the patch soon, I'll do something to myself! I don't know what yet, but I'll do something to myself!!! (Probably just take a walk or something [hey, that sun would be brutal after the amount of time I have spent indoors waiting for this).

Seriously, I can't wait to see it.

Ummmm.... Yeah..... This post is here by accident and it won't let me remove it (can we patch the boards, too?).

Re: BUG NOT FIXED

Some very useful additions, changes and fixes but one bug that I wish would get fixed is this one [does this happen to anyone else? ]:

When any ship is selected, click the move button to get the automatic movement path line attached to the cursor; move the cursor to the very top or very bottom of the screen to have the map scroll quickly; if you allow the map to reach the polar ice caps and the cursor is still at the top/bottom of the screen (you are trying to scroll past the end of the map I suppose) the game freezes; Ctrl-Alt-Del is the only way to recover and then start the game again and load the last autosave.

I've been playing for two hours a night, every night, since November of 2001 and I've never seen that happen. Maybe I'm lucky...

Very respectfully,

About the bug mentioned above... I have seen it.

Here is another suggestion/request:

Can you guys (Firaxis) give us one of those scenarios you used for testing???? Please????

[Kri77777]

I have never even herd of it till now, let alone seen it. Guess I will have to try eventually....

Its useful that we'll be able to name units that produce leaders, now we'll know that unit can't produce any more.. its a neat solution.

I hope they willl have that special units only make a GA if they are elite, maybe these could get a special name also.

Great news about the fixed editor features.

[Admiral PJ]

One important thing for scenarios is to be able to set the time it takes to build things on different terrains.

An example is road building across deserts, I want to make it even harder to make them some sort of barrier.

I'm not certain if it accureately calcultes build times.. if it just took into account movement rates , so slower terrain took longer that might be a solution.

Just a minor but still important point.

Place a column of mountain tiles one square in down each side of the map. With no way to get a ship into the sea between the mountains, there's no way to cross round the sides of the map

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying here, but Elites have always been the only units capable of producing a Leader.

As for naming the unit, they're also going to include the * symbol to let you know if a unit has created a leader, if I've read things properly, so actually naming it would only be a way of adding a personal touch to the game.

This has always been an option, just look at Worker Jobs in the editor rules.

I know, but you can still send aircraft over the 'edge' of the map. Also, I want an option, not a mankshift solution.

Besides, I just make flat maps with Gramps' CMT, but it would be easier inside the editor.

(Willem, he said "GA" for Golden Age, not "GL" for Great Leader)

[cbraund]

NO!! I can't find any diplomacy options in the editor!

Oh well, it's still cool!
