  • Play the World, any news?

    Does anybody know exactly what improvments, aside from multiplayer support, PTW will have on civ3?

    There's going to be some new things a Worker can build, such as a Radar Tower and an Airfield. Though it's quite possible those might also come out in the next patch. Same with auto-bombard, which will be a very nice thing to have. It sure would be nice if they could give us some idea as to what's in the next patch.

        Well obviously they didn't make the June deadline they said they were trying for. I wish they'd hurry up, I don't even want to play the game until the patch is out, and I can start redoing my mod again. Everytime there's a new patch, I end up starting from scratch again, which really, really sucks.

          What do you mean by auto-bombard? Stack bombard?

            I might as well just save you all the trouble... Ming is a bastard, Ming es un bastardo, Ming est un bâtard, Ming è un bastardo, Mingus bastardus est, Ming ist ein Mistkerl, Ming jest bêkartem, Ming är en horunge, Ming korcs, O Ming ine bastarthos, Ming on rakastajani...
            and if you don't understand any of these... Ming. Bastard is he. yesssss.

              I'm not exactly sure how that's going to work, I just read about them mentioning it as a new feature. I'm presuming a stack bombard though I'm not positive. I'm really hoping that they include that in the next patch, rather than making us wait until the XP.

              Unlike a lot of people around here, I like using bombard units, they soften my enemies quite nicely. But you really need a a lot of them to make them effective, making it such a pain firing each one individually.

                Yes. That is what was promised to be in PTW. Will save us some time. Especially with navy units bombarding can be very boring.

                  DITTO!!

                  That's what happens when a beta game is marketed 8 to 9 months before it should have been.

                    In Computer games magizine they said that a unit set to auto-bombard will bombard intil you tell it to stop or the unit gets distroyed.
                    Unit stacking will let you designate defenders and attackers.
