Additions needed to the editor for PtW?

[Kramsib]

Here is my list.

- Diplomacy Editor.

Agreements, Reputation, Trade relations, Actitude, Embasies, spionage options (and prices), ...

- Units Editor.

Graphics, animations, status (damage), "made in #whatever# city", ...

- Terrain editor.

New terrain types (add button), submarine terrain types, terraforming options, terrain improvements editor (+ add button).

- Scenario editor.

Set year, month (day?), the dates of the events. Set objectives, make some civ the protagonist, ... The current editor has problems to associate civilizations with governments and civilization advances.

- Map editor.

Toroidal and flat maps. Natural and artificial Canals (Bosphorus, Suez, Pánama, ...)

an so on ....

They should unlock some of the locked fields .
One thing to start with should be the range of airunits .

Terraforming should also be included .

Longer and more turns , more years .

Here's one I just thought of in connection with the thread speculating on the potential for more industrial improvements in PTW.

Return the ability to obselete improvements.

Sort of like how the barracks in Civ1/2 would become obselete several times during the game and require replacement. I know it was annoying for the barracks because you essentially got nothing new from the successive barracks. But if done right, I think it could be useful.

That way if anything is changed, you can be pleasantly surprised.

In otherwords, expect nothing from Firaxis. Then, if you do get something we need or want. . . we will be happy.

I have a lot higher standards than that.



Seems like we are suppposed to get ready for another big disappointment with PTW. I do not need superficial makeup on the same game. We've posted our wish list; let's have it.

As do I. Those aren't my standards, those are my expectations.

Ahem,

XPs are supposed to be just that (a makeup).
Not a game from "wish list".

Scripting brings to mind the Starcraft game editor. Now that was a great event editor - I hope Firaxis adds something like.

Couldn't make a realistic historical scn without it.

Not to say, that Civ3 looks so similar to editor from Starcraft.
(all those similar menues)

Unfortunately so goes the old saying -looks dont mean anything - it's what's inside that counts.

A Starcraft like trigger system would let you control everything. You could MAKE a historical scn pan out almost exactly how it should and make the challange to keep up rather than change history.

No more unlimited RR movement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Firaxis actualy plans to do some sort of trigger system, I bet it would look similar to one from Starcraft.


P.S.
Remeber Space Invaders scenario?
