Bad news for RCP fans

[vulture]

There is bad news for users of the ring city placement scheme: Firaxis bods have confirmed that it has been eliminated in Consquests.

[Chieftess> [kryszcztov> Will a lot of exploits/bugs/cheats be removed ? Thinking about all that is prohibited at RBCiv for a reference. Ever been there ?
[Merepatra_BA> I haven't been there but a lot of exploits have been fixed
[Firaxis-Ed> kryszcztov- Ring build is fixed in Conquest
[bobT-BA> many exploits have been addressed
[Merepatra_BA> I think our beta testers called our attention to most exploits during testing
[bobT-BA> but as we find them others I am sure will hunt for some way of gaining an edge

[anarres> How is Ring City Placement bug fixed?
[anarres> we heard RCP was fixed
[DrA> how is RCP fixed specifically?
[Merepatra_BA> I can't tell you exactly how the RCP bug is fixed, as I didn't deal with that one. Chieftess might know more than me on that, she was fiddling with it I believe
[Chieftess> I don't know a lot about that either.
[anarres> RCP will be fixed by magic. No-one knows but somehow it will be gone...
[Merepatra_BA> It is gone

That's actually good news.

Duh, can someone tell me how RCP works?
[/idiot]
Really, I don't have time to search.

[UnOrthOdOx]

Good, I didn't like using it, but saw no choice when facing it in PBEM.

[Harovan]

Arrian celebrating, because now you can go back to OCP?

[Arrian]

Not OCP, I don't do that much anymore. 4-4.5 tile, not 5.

But I definitely don't like RCP.

Bad news for RCP fans...is good news for everyone else (that plays Civ3).

Glad to see they're closing off these exploits.

[Panzer32]

aww... I liked rings. I think I'll do rings maybe anyways...

It seems much more organized than other CPstrats...

[vulture]

Actually I'm glad it's going too, since it isn't the way things were meant to work. I'll have to re-write more of the early game guide though...

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Yeehaw, that RCP stuff was taking all the fun out of choosing your city locations.

[vmxa1]

Since I never used it (always thought it was an exploit), I won't mis it.

[Rhothaerill]

I only just started using it, so I suppose I won't miss it too much.

[Nor Me]

RCP fans?

This is good news for everyone except those who can't do city placement. RCP made things a lot easier.

Whether they can replace it with something that cannot be easily exploited remains to be seen.
