Are you thinking of hiring one?

One??, pffff

Nah, just curious, no-one any idea?
Come on, there are hundreds, if not thousands of programmers around here

[WarpStorm]

A typical programmer in the USA starts at about $45k with no experience. A good one with special skills $100k or more.

In general, games programmers make less than their business equivalent, but that is not true in all cases.

How much are you offering?

hi ,

well if you where to get 0.1 % of all the earnings from today on , you would get a nice figure on your account , ......

have a nice day

All we can do is wait and see. And hope that they make the next patch for the European version as well, and not stops the PTW support with the European and US version being at different patch levels (it's bad enough as it is now just temporary)

The only thing I've seen in black and white is that there will be at least one more PTW patch (after 1.21f) and that 1.21f will be made European plus that the at first didnät plan to bring 1.21f to Europe. So where do you get the 50/50 chance of the next patch being localized fior the european copyprotection? Oh, and where is that 99% XP thing? I think I'll wait until a press release or something on that one...

I think the next expansion should have 8 new civs, some new improvements, and maybe some other junk like that

But the real feature would be the editor. They should announce that they are planning a new expansion, and people suggest anything that they could possibly want

You can suggest Events editor and Forced Diplomacy
You can ask for Defensive/Offensive bonuses against mounted units
You could ask for lethal bombard against Naval units, but not land units
You could ask for terrain improvements to have a cultural radius

Anything you can think of, they will try to add.

Then everyone can make a scenario however they want.

And add to that some premade scenarios (like CiC for Civ2).

hi ,

there is some talks from infogrames not to bring the next patch , ...... they would burn in on the new disk , but they are complaining like @@@#### that is to costly to bring a patch in each language , ......

if they bring it out it shall be months from now

99% > rumour control , the same that mentioned a new patch after 1.21 a month before in came out , .....

the rumour control has never been wrong , so lets hope

, if there really would be someone who would know for a fact on the XP then Mark would be someone to know , ....

have a nice day

[Kuciwalker]

You can already have lethal bombard for just land units or just sea units.

[Louis XXIV]

Cool

I thought somebody mentioned something like that, but I never got a chance to double check.

I figured somebody would correct me

But I still think a second expansion should focus on the editor

Definitely agree. It's the one thing that still needs MUCH improvement.

I would like to have damage for stacked units... that would revolutionize Civ3 strategy...

oh and limited transport range for Aircraft... say twice the bombariding range. Its not real to move all your airforce to one base in one turn.
