Scenarios and Civ 3

[Case]

I've just seen a post on the Civ 3 forum claiming that no scenarios come with Civ 3!

The link: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=30970

edit: the editor looks very good though

[JMarks]

Well, it looks like it'll be up to us then! Are we ready for the task? (the answer is yes for those who don't know)

[klesh]

Has anyone...

seen pictures of the units editor yet...?

particularly the graphics part of the editor? The other stuff I'm not worried about, too much. But what choices do we have for graphics? Can we do 2d? If we have the programs to do so, can we do 3d?

I guess I'll find out soon enough. Two more days for me. Unfortunatly I won't be doing anything real serious 'till the weekend. I can see real interesting scenario possiblities. (too bad I forgot all of them)

Anyone see anything about the supposed utility to convert FW/MGE scenarios to civ3? I remember that it was to be included or somesuch at one time.

Not even a single scenario included is a major let-down for me. Its nice to be able to dive right in and find out whats possible before going through a (hopefully ) comprehensively exhausting editor manual.

I really hope this editor turns out to be all that was hoped for. If this is a flop as well I might seriously consider ignoring civ3...

HOLY EDITOR SCREEN, BATMAN!

Even I might be able to make a scenario with that. Any requests?

[Jimmywax]

OH MY GOD!!!

I think that I will probably go cross eyed, wet my self and have a never breakdown from pure unadultered enjoyment. I will need to to soak in all the choices.

[klesh]

One thing I dont like right away....

Note we are lookign at an F-15...an air unit.


Note also that only the air 'unit abilities' selections are available... The land and sea abilities are greyed out. I expressly remember reading about this in the Dan Madgha or whatever his name is thread to scenario makers. It seems again that will will have a limited choice of unit abilities to give to units.

Want a glider to be airborne and carry some commandoes?

Seems we'll be making it a paradropping ship again...

[klesh]

Then again...

Looking more, it is a possibility that if you can click down more than one of those 'class' (air, land, sea) buttons you could possibly combine effects... but with what other effects...sheesh.
Just leave all the abilities in one list!!!

I can wait to get me hands on her tomorrow!!!! er...um... today!

And I thought I was sceptical

Re: the editor,

I agree it does look promising (can create combat engineers that don't run around building cities everywhere) but then I thought pretty much the same about the FW editor until it started bugging me (pun intended ).

Did anybody notice that the load/unload are two separate actions? Henceforth can one load marines onto transports and have them enjoy shipboard life so much that they never want to leave?

[Edit: UPGRADE UNIT!!!!! Please somebody tell me what that means??? ]

[BeBMan]

Can someone tell me...

...what graphic format(s) are used for civ3 graphics, and what for the anims too?

I only hope they are easily etitable...

[Stefan Härtel]

Animations. I hate animations
Apart from that I am now in the midst of the worst time possible... Civ3 is out and I don't have it yet. I will get it ca. two or three weeks from now. By then I'll be behind again
