1.2.5 patch out!

[tiny toad]

Sorry Chaps answered my own question just by going to the quicksilver site back to playing civ3 PTW at the moment so I`ll try this patch MUCH later on in the year

[Turk Man]

good idea!

I must admit I'm playing Civ3 now (never got PTW) and haven't even downloaded the patch yet. Maybe later after I'm done.

All playing smoothly. As you can see from the list though its pretty similar to the 1.2 patch, mostly just cleaning up a few more bugs.

The most important change from Moo 1.0 is that the enemy actually expand, research and fight pretty effectively. Fall down on the diplomacy and get into a war against multiple opponents and you're going to have a very rough time. The challenge factor is definitely in the game now, even on easier difficulty settings. Its not going to be enough for people who want transparent diplomacy, more interesting antarran expeditions or wholesale changes to the combat system of course, but if you thought MoO3 had potential, give it another try.

I may just have to fire this up again. Can I install the patch over the previous code patch without problems?

Should work, yep.

Thanks Grumbold I`ll give it a go this weekend now and put my civ3 PTW on hold...

I have to say, I am very impressed with this new patch. I was playing all last night - as I finally had the time to try it out.

Now why couldn't they have done this in the first goddess-damned place?

I have played MoO2 and want to get MoO3. I've heard it sucks but a friend of mine tells me that with the patches it is the best space expansion game she's ever played. I was wondering, do I need to download 1.2.5 alone or does it fix all bugs (i.e. PD bug)?

just download the latest patch.

whether pd works or not is still a bit up in the air. who knows. the game is vastly improved though.

PD works very well now. As you will notice that fighters and missles aren't the killer weapons they used to be.

[Grumbold]

PD still fails very occasionally but its now rare enough that you can shrug it off as a surprise ambush and it shouldn't drive you away from the game if you like the other features.

This is probebly gonna sound stupid... cause it is. How do I create my sig?

I.F. armadas are still rather effective as AI seldom uses fleets with huge PD capability ( well, 5 armadas launching 200 missiles are what they should be: deadly )

[WhiteCrow]

I played it last night and I agree the game is much improved now. Better UI, better AI, etc. But the UI is still not playable at all for beginners, AI still play dumb even is impossible level, and gameplay is unrepairably boring.

My rating on MOO3 is 'Awful' now, from 'the worst game of 21st century so far' :/
