I just got the turn, and installed 1.12, but for some reason it doesn't accept my cd in the drive? I've tried to have the cd in both drives, but for some reason it can't find it
This patch didn't change anything with cd-security, did it?

/edit: edited because free PC cleaning tools i mentioned here before, have turned commercial and you cant dl them anymore.

Thx, though I don't have any cd/dvd burners in my computer...


I can load the game with 1.00... does the new version make any difference in PBEM games?

[Rommel2D]

I think there are two issues that would concern PBEM. The first is Forbidden Palace corruption. Without the patch, the FP makes corruption worse when built. If these pangeas are too small to make the FP a possibility, this won't be a problem. The second is more important. Seafaring civs were made more likely to start on a coast. Since Octavian used 1.12, this isn't a problem either.

This is all I saw in the readme. Unfortuantely, Firaxis has been neglecting documentation recently in the interest of faster development. I don't know how thorough the readme for 1.12 is.
From what is documented v1.0 shouldn't make a serious problem for us, but you should patch if at all possible. Otherwise, we'll need to see a note from your mother. :-)

okay guys, this is a cruel joke, i know this game could not have possibly started, i wont believe it, i refuse to get my hopes up...

[Rommel2D]

Um, Conqueror, ADG, if the turn isn't already sent, could one of you post what civs the rest of us drew?

Gah... 1.00 is worse in other means too but the FP - it has the extreme penalty for building cities to same distance from capitol.

I'd rather not play with 1.00.

Sorry Conqueror, but that's the worst-case scenario I mentioned before in the main thread. Unless you have some nice rivers and cattle herds, I'd ask Octavian if he checked this game for fair start positions. (Also, did he start it with v1.12? It is supposed to almost guarantee that seafaring civs will get a coastal start. Don't play the lottery today, dude. ;-)

I sent the save to Rommel, hoping it wont screw up anything...

We'll just have to try how it turns out. Well the official patch isnt so far away Lets hope it will be compatible with old saves and will fix these problems.

ADG, the email attachment looks empty (zeroK). I don't know if this is related to the patch or your email account. It saves to my drive, but gives a Load Error when I try to load it.

I'll try to send it again in a few minutes...
