Hi fireclaw,
the update to BTS 3.19 exists. In the meantime I've added many, many more things, but there are still some minor things to do. This is mainly concerning translations into English and some missing building 3D graphics. However, I hope to have it ready around Easter.
Here is a glance of what Frizzimod 3.0 will conatin compared to 2.0:
1. New character traits:
-----------------------
ROARING - +1 sight for reconing units, reconing units invisible for other players (not for barbarians and animals), +100% profit from looting and pillaging
MAGNIFICENT - road building +50% faster, cities founded in the Ancient era or later start with size 2
2. New technologies
-------------------
Antimatter, Bionics, Cloning, Clubs and Societies, Complex Algorithms, Empathy, Ethical State, Human Rights, Information Privacy, International Law, Longevity, Nanotubes, Psychology, Quantum Computers, The Secret Of Life, Terraforming
Mp3 quote files in English and German will be included.
3. New victories
----------------
OLYMPIC VICTORY - Players can use the new Great Athlete unit to trigger Olympic Games. The winner of Olympic Games might have the chance to establish a new world record in one of seven disciplines (Running, Riding, Boxing, Swimming, Shooting, Gymnastics and Soccer). To gain a world record for the first time, you simply have to win the Games and have to have researched a given technology (eg. Horseback Riding for Riding, Industrialisation for Soccer). If you want to beat that record and become the new world record holder in this discipline, you have to have won the Games two times in a row. To beat it the next time, you have to have triumphed three times in a row, and so on.
A person achieves an "Olympic Victory" when holding all seven world records, or six out of seven plus having built the Perfect Man world wonder.
The Olympic Games winner is determined randomly, however you can significantly raise your chances by improving your cities' health, contructing certain buildings or being the host of the Games.
PHILOSOPHICAL VICTORY - In order to gain a Philosophical Victory, you have to be the first player to research the "Secret Of Life" technology. This technology can be discovered only by those players who have built the Camelot national wonder.
Camelot is very expensive and can only be built during Golden Ages and only in the capital. Copper, ivory, gold, silver and gem ressources will each power the building speed by 10%.
4. New civilizations
------------------
The Latin American civilization will be new to the game, with Fidel Castro, José Marti and San Martin as leaders. The special unit is the guerilla, the special building the Hacienda, which will replace the bank.
5. New promotions
------------------
PATRIOTISM I, II and III will strengthen a units combat value when the combat is taking place on its home soil.
CYBER ATTACK / CYBER DEFENSE will give the attacker / defender a 10% chance to make mechanized enemy units leave the opponents ranks and join your side instead at the beginning of a battle
SNEAKING will make reconing and naval units invisible to other players (but not barbarians or animals).
6. New units
------------
There will be several new units (most of them future untis). The Militia unit will be available after having discovered the Clubs and Societies technology. It will be a cheap unit with free PATRIOTISM I and II promotion. Additionally and more intriguingly, the enemy unit will not gain any experience points when attacked by a militia unit.
7. New buildings
---------------
GYM HALL (requires Clubs and Societies) - more Olympic points, +1 happiness, +25% city defense
FAMILY CENTER (Longevity) - +100% Great Persons
DATA CENTER (Inform. Privacy) - more trading routes, better protection against espionage
MEETING PLACE (Empathy) - + 200% votes for any UN / Apost. Palace votings
SIMULATION CHAMBER (Complex Algorithms) - +6 experience points for new units
INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (Human Rights) -the city's strongest foreign culture will raise the science value (eg. 23 % Babylonian culture --> 23% better research)
PROPAGANDA BUREAU (Psychology) - more culture, -50% risk of city revolt
SPORT SCHOOL (Construction, 6 Colloseums) - free Great Athlete unit
8. New world wonders / national wonders / world projects
-------------------------------------------------------
THE PERFECT MAN (WW, Genetics) - Free, uncontestable world record
UTOPIA (WW, Ethical State) - Free Great Person, free choice which Great Persons will be born in your cities
TERRACOTTA ARMY (WW, Feudalism) - +50% Olympic points for Olympic Games on your home soil
EINSTEIN ROSEN BRIDGE (2 x WW, Complex Algorithms) - Unlimited number of airlifts from one portal to the other, without loss of movement points. The two portals must be built on different continents.
DOGE'S PALACE (WW, International Law) - No enemy units can enter the city radius
OKTOBERFEST (WW, Clubs and Socities) - +3 popularity with all known state leaders
THE CLONE CONTAINER (WW, Cloning) - City grows by +1 each turn
AREA 51 (NW, Information Privacy, 12 barracks) - +100% starship production in this city, no enemy espionage in this city
OLYMPIC SANCTUARY (NW, Priesthood) - get a free Great Athlete unit with +2% probability per turn
SETI (WP, Quantum Computers) - +50% starship speed
9. Other stuff
-------------
Of course Frizzimod 3.0 will include all 2.0 features, like Hidden Research, diplomatic/daring/informed character trait etc.
All this is practically ready and has been tested quite often. As I said, I hope it will be available for download in, say, three weeks or so.
