  • Firaxis, what this game needs...

    What this game needs is the ability to go from MP -> PBEM-> MP etc at will.
    We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

    and the ability to NOT go from MP->SP.

      I completely agree. It would be SOOOO convenient if I could load up my PBEM game as a turnbased game so that we could do an hour or two cram session once a month. It would be an event to look forward to! Do you think the coding would be very difficult?

      UberKruX is totally right - I really hope that bug gets fixed in the next patch. I am an awefully trusting person, but this bug could seriously crush my faith in the Civ community. The coding for this one shouldn't be much a problem at all...
      I keep a record of all my civ games here.

        I agree entirely.

            Hm, PTW has this bug?
            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

              Unfortunately, it does.
              From within a PBEM game, selecting the load game option will allow you to reload your game. When it executes however, you are no longer required to enter a password for anyone and the game proceeds as a password-less hotseat game.

                I hope they are listening. I generally like the idea of PBEM, but with more than a handful of people, it is an investment of years. Being able to go back and forth would be a great feature to give as a Christmas present... this Xmas!

                      On top of the MP things it would great if they released an even better editor within the next 8 months or so.

                          yes I wasn't expecting one so soon after I posted that.

                          it also needs more protection from cheaters.

                            While the patch addresses game faults it doesnt hit these two (one of which could be classified as an improvement I guess).

                              We have been looking and waiting for a better editor for the past twelve months.

                              Don't hold your breath.

                              Oh, those bugs.
