Whats the consensus will this be the last patch for CIV3 (not PtW)? I stopped modding my game because of the hardcoded limits and bugs and since I had to totally re-do it every 2 months. Now it looks like it may be worthwhile again?

Will this be the last patch?
We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Why do you have to redo it? unless you used the Civ3Mod.bic and did not backup before you instaled the patch, you can just open it in the editor and resave can't you?Was gone for two years, I'm back now.

Or should I say they keep giving me more ways to change the rules. Just when I figure out how I want the game to go, they add more things I can do, and I have to start all over again.

Wait a minute. I tried to use my old mod (1.21) after 1.29 was installed, both in the Civ 3 folder and a scenarios folder. BOTH TIMES I GOT ERROR MESSAGES.
But when I imported it in to the basic .bic IT THEN WORKED. So importing was needed by me.
As for Firaxis, "the last patch"??
Kindly tell us then why you guys are so obsessed with sticking us with this Culture Flipping crap and Settler Diarhea nonsense?? Why? It is non-historical and dumb. GET RID OF THEM.

Dumb? Maybe. But who cares about non-hisotrical? Have you ever read about a cave-dwelling Abe wearing animal hides? Or a Germany and France having an eternal peace treaty, trading such resources as coal on a lang term basis, while living mainly in South America? No. But this happens in the game. As stated, it isn't modelling history, but making a model for creating one's own history.
But why do I bother? People are still going to complain endlessly like a broken record about disagreements they have with Firaxis' idea of how the game should work.I AM.CHRISTIAN

maybe when they release PTW, there might be a small
patch for civ3. just to finetune a couple of things.
who knowsIs God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

There will probably be one more patch (two if we're lucky) after PtW is released but that will be it unless there is a second expansion. Personally, I hope we get a CTP style spin-off that has a scripting language.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

ON TOPIC--
Unless something catastrophic pops up owing to this patch, I think that we're full up on Civ III patches until PtW.Last edited by khyron; July 20, 2002, 01:31.

Import lets you combine BICs so it may be better to make a new BIC with new rules if any then import your old one.
Rember it is best to not modify the Civ3Mod.bic.
Coracle did you try to open it the editor?
If you want people to lisen to you, you may want to give constructive criticism and not just say "GET RID OF THEM." like say can the 0% chance to flip in the editor be fixed so it works corectly, or maybe add an option to turn off Culture Flipping, this would be varry useful.Was gone for two years, I'm back now.
