Everyone who has 1.21, go to

Unless I'm severly drunk, I swear that I see "Play the World.TXT" which contains:

Yeah, I think this was noticed soon after release. So does this mean that they'll have a game of the week/day? Some sort of worldwide ranking system?

Yeah probably, I guess. Why both game of the week and game of the day?

I like the idea of global rankings, pretty cool.

UBERKRUX THE IRON FISTED #1 IN THE CITY ISLAND STATE COUNTRY CONTINENT HEMISPHERE WORLD.

i think i like it.

You forgot about the Alien fans there Uber.

GAME of the Day? Sounds interesting. For Sp mode, it's generally game of the month, etc. I hope that means civ3MP will be quite different from SP. something revolutionary, if possible... Oh, well, there are good examples...

With a bit of luck, small game options, and keeping to one era will be possible, so as to decrease time wastage.

Limit to one era is a nice point. Maybe that's why the era thing come in after all.

Has anyone ever poked around the files in CIV? It reveals a lot, like some interesting Scnerio Editor (as in true scen editor) possibilities....

[Grrr]

Some discoveries have been made, but I don't think anyone has gone throught the files thouroughly.

[Inverse Icarus]

Yeah, it looks like they leftover some .txt files from SMAC/X. It's funny that they didn't get rid of them, a little sloppy maybe, or maybe it was someone's joke...
