Civ IV: Beyond the Sword Info Center

That's quite funny - I never thought of that. I'll need to try it. Does the great general stand in the water when the ship is in battle then?

Interesting question. Didn't check though. It definitely works but I don't remember seeing anything queer like that. I guess you can only find out, which vessel the admiral is on, by clicking or at least touching it with the mouse coursor.

 

[flamingzaroc121]

yeah the general doesnt walk on water unless its the GG of jesus

Odd, it's being reported that both Steam and Direct2Drive have released the 3.03 patch, but nothing from Firaxis. Just curious, but has anyone who bought the box version been able to patch from in-game?

Wow that's good news.

I just checked my box version, and I still can't update though.

Is it already known what the 3.03 patch includes?

 

[Jamesds]

no, I can't patch from in game either. Either this patch will soon be released to us, or it is unique to those versions only.

 

[ggganz]

I bought it from Amazon, and I patched to 3.02 from in game.

I find it annoying that you CAN'T play Warlords scenario's even if you have the Warlords expansion already installed on your computer. To access them you need to specifically launch the Warlords expansion. This is somewhat stupid...

Now for those who seems to have problem downloading the in game update patch 3.03, I was able to to so when I decided to use the Warlords menu themes (was wondering if I would have access to the Warlords scenario's by doing this). I don't know if it's because the 3.03 issues was fixed when I did that or because I was not using the same "menu theme", but I was finally able to download the 3.03 patch.

 

[Jamesds]

Oh Yeah! 3.03 is out!! 83Mb though!

That was a conincidence it installed when you changed, Morfanos - I didn't need to change my menu .

EDIT: Doesn't seem much to be happy about...looked at the changelog in another thread.

Got the game last week, did patch 3.03 from the game to night, with no problems.

Where is the thread telling what's in the new patch?

The known changes are:

• Microsoft Fix for Manifest Requirements
• DirectX 9.0c June Version Included

 

[NikNaks]

Is that all? Why didn't they wait a little and release it in a bigger patch? *sigh* Well at least it won't break any mods.

 

[Zebra 9]

So any future patches should work with out this one right? I'm not looking forward to a big Down Load right know.

 

[The Navy Seal]

Thank goodness it's nothing major. 83 MB and dial-up don't mix!

 

[Purest Warrior]

Hehe yeah.

Wasn't a lot they fit in a 83 MB patch...
When they get around to fixing the major bugs, you'll have your modem glowing for three weeks, Navy Seal.

 

[Jamesds]

Hehe yeah.

Thankfully, the changes to python code, core dlls, xml and graphics aren't as hefty as a new DX Engine. I remember being on dial-up, only about 10 months ago - I got a max of 10Mb / h . Now, on my rather slow broadband connection, I get 4Mb/min.

I had no problem. Just got the BTS from the Circuit City on line sale for $15 and then upgraded from in game/advanced to 3.03.

I am having some issues trying to play the 1936 scenario and a few bugs with Rhyse, but I'm trying to work them out.

 

[Hackapell]

I know that you're really busy, Methos, but could you update the main page so all the pictures and changes are accurate? thanks!

 

[The Navy Seal]

I think he's making a new Info Center ATM. One that gives info.

Yes, I am. Unfortunately this week and last I've been doing a bunch of overtime, so I haven't been getting much further on it.

I assume by the main page you mean the first few posts of this thread?
