Civ III: Conquests Patch Notice

[The Last Conformist]

I can only agree with Speaker.

 

[alexman]

Apparently (according to MarkG on Apolyton), the combat change has been cut from patch 1.10!

A big thumbs up to Firaxis/BA for listening.

Link to that Alexman? Thanks in advance.

EDIT- I went and checked it out myself. Here's a link in case anyone is interested.

Linking to 'Poly?

 

[Arathorn]

Yay! Now if only they don't sneak it into the official patch without telling anyone. I *seriously* doubt they would do that, though. In general, I've been very impressed by the representatives of Atari/Breakaway/Firaxis we see here.

Now I can *really* look forward to playing with the 1.10 beta patch.

I should say "THANKS!!!!!!!!!!" again to whoever made the decision to make a public beta patch available ASAP. That is definitely appreciated!

Good News! (I checked it on Poly, myself. )

Speaker: No problem linking to Poly. We're both big enough to share.

I'd like something a bit more official that someone quoting a mail from Jesse, but it indeed seems like good news.

I think it's quite solid. MarkG isn't exactly just 'someone' in the Civ3 community.

A huge thanks to the folks at Atari/Breakaway/Firaxis for listening and a huge thanks to all of the lobbyists in this thread. Thats good news.

 

[padlock]

Thank you Firaxis for being so responsive to your fan base. I can't wait to try out the patch!!!

He isn't, but there's a reason I'm accused of being a suspicious bastard every now and then.

Gotta agree with Arathorn; Firaxis is remarkably attentive to their customers. Keep up the good work!

 

[SirPleb]

That is great news!

Thank you Firaxis / Breakaway / Atari! I hope you all survived the clamour without regretting that this thread ever started It seems to me that it worked out well. Disclosing the contents of the beta patch in advance has had a beneficial result, possibly even saving patch cycle. Thanks in advance for the patch, and thanks for listening!

Now before this thread gets too quiet , any chance you could tell us the details of the corruption fix? (Half serious )

Indeed. Now Firaxis/Breakaway, take your time with the Combat Change and come up with a better solution. If any.

from Jesse (via mail)
The change to the combat system has been cut from the v1.10 Patch

THANKS FIRAXIS FOR LISTENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I'm wondering is why can't their "new combat system" only be used in cases where something like a spearman is fighting a tank? Only use it in cases where the technological gap between the two units is fairly sizeable. When you have units of "equal" stats fighting each other, use the standard combat being used right now.

 

[Isak]

I think this is just a smoke screen. They're telling us it won't be implemented, but they go ahead an implement it anyway secretly.

Then they'll have a good hearty laugh all of Christmas, checking in on the frustrated grognards lost for ways to prove that the new combat system is/is not in effect.

Hohoho,

Merry X-mas..

 

[Portuguese]

According to latest news, this is back:

 

[The Last Conformist]

Just what causes people to believe we'd get no tales of spearmen beating tanks under the new system? It wasn't exactly a proposal to eliminate Murphy's Law, was it?

 

[Portuguese]

Odds would go down dramatically!
Like 20% (all conditions favouring Spear...) to <0,1%!!!

Wouldn't eliminate, but...

 

[JazzToucan]

Thanks.
