V3.x Do you mean CIVIII-version 3.00 or version 3.01.
In the Conquests-version C3C3.9 a leader will not
start a Golden Age.
---------------------------------
also: this critique is directed against most of the members of
the scenario-team including myself.
Maybe we should start write (for example) Golden Age
instead of GA. This type of code will not make outsiders
more interested in the scenario.
With regard to Golden Age:
Remove it. I see no reason for it.
Misfit_travel,
With regard to your constant critique against me for
lack of documentation I have send you a Personal Message.

Rocoteh:
I believe you are misinterpreting what was written. When I review the documentation and find an inconsistency between that and what is in the editor for version 3.9, I look to clarify what the intent was.
The point of the clarification is to determine whether or not that particular action was intentional (ie we wanted a Leader to start a Golden Age), or unintentional (we just missed it when making modifications).
That is hardly a criticism of you (or the development team). Since I'm a member of the development team, I would effectively critize myself as well.
The point is, if we have inconsistencies, they will lead to assumptions of what is expected within v4.0. I would like to insure, as much as possible, that the expectations of what will be in v4.0 matches the reality of what is actually delivered.
In this case if I had continued to go by the documentation, Leaders would have been modified to start Golden Ages. Last Conformist's initial statement about Great Leaders (post #36) triggered my statement about the documentation stating that it was in fact a trigger action for a Golden Age. Had he not raised this issue, we would have had unexpected functionality added to the v4.0 release.
If you were offended by my statements, I'll apologize for that. But I would ask that we all try to understand that we are dealing with many different people, operating in different countries, where English is not necessarily everybody's first language. Communication difficulties are bound to arise.
Having now spent the better part of two weeks working with the development team on the v4.0 release, I have a great appreciation for the work both you and Procifica have done in bringing ACW to where it is. It is a massive undertaking in time and energy to make modifications.
I also believe that I have amply demonstrated a willingness to listen and discuss before taking action on anything. I think you should interpret all my statements in that light (that I'm looking for clarification or guidance), rather than assume that I am implicitly critizing you or any other member of our team.
I would hope that we can put this misunderstanding behind us and continue to work together on v4.0.
Regards
Misfit
