i know it came out some time ago, but i'm thinking now maybe i should download the 1.29f patch. i chose not to becuase it looked like most of the changes had to do with the editor, and i just don't use it all that much. so are there any serious gameplay issues that were addressed in 1.29f that i should get? thanks

Re: 1.29f worth it?
You should always update your game with the latest patch unless theres some pressing reason not to (eg it has a virus, it removes your favorite civ, it crashes the game) -
Why haven't you updated yet? 1.29 is great!Comment

129f is much better than anything so far and I think PTW incorporates it.Comment
-
yes.
don't even bother reading anything about it, just upgrade. it's the best yet."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

The 'Fortify All' and 'Wake All' commands are worth it on their own. I could never go back to the days before those commands.

The upgrade is worth it, the FORTIFY ALL command is well worth it alone....

FYI, the 'Fortify All' and 'Wake All' are in the Right-Click menu. And having just gone through a 1.21 Macintosh game that lacks those commands, yes they are quite handy.
And of course, they are not all of the changes, and PTW will have plenty more including (gasp!) more "devious"/"smarter" BARBARIANS!

Additionally, there are ongoing tweaks to the AI that, while subtle, make a difference.
Um, maybe a silly question, but why would you NOT upgrade?The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

I'm not sure that the "AI tweaks" are all that subtle. I cleaned house with 1.21 but I've even been beaten on Regent with 1.29 (twice
)
That said, 1.29 is much better than all previous versions.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

So what your saying is i should upgrade...
okay, the fortify/wake all command does sounds very useful, i assume it works for units in a stack. but why would i not upgrade...well, there is this tiny little problem i have with my dial-up connection, mainly that it is a dial-up connection. and the preview of the upgrade didn't sound quite as important for gameplay reasons as the other upgrades. so i figured i was enjoying civ3 as it was, and it wasn't worth messing with it. but see, this is what i was looking for, actually feedback. so i'll upgrade. thanks fellaNever laugh at live dragons.

The 'Fortify All' and 'Wake All' are in the Right-Click menu. It literally does what it says: regardless of mix of unit types, all are fortified or awakened.Originally posted by Dissident
