Conquests features comprehensive survey

[Chieftess]

Let the party begin!

Although, it's gonna be in Apolyton's chatroom (apolyton.net 6667 --> #apolyton ), but we can celebrate in #civfanatics (irc.irc-chat.net 6667), too.

BTW, I may keep this thread up for a while so that the ROW group (Rest of the World) can see what's there until about mid-November.

Or in other words, it isn't the Rest of the World which is running late, it's those damn Yankees jumping the gun and finishing early.

Feudalism: "As a feudal kingdom you are dependent on the vassals for support and bound to respect their wishes. Corruption is lessened due to a decentralized administrative system, but your vassals are wary of continual warfare so war weariness can be a slight problem to public happiness. Production problems associated with despotism are avoided. Maintenance costs for units are increased, but city improvements have no maintenance costs."

Fascism: Add: "they must force labor to rush improvements."

Worker Actions

Clear Damage: Pressing [Shift][C] or clicking on this Advanced Unit button will set your worker to the task of cleaning up damaged terrain tiles. Damage occurs when volcanoes erupt or when factories wastes become excessive. Bombardment of terrain can also cause craters that can be cleaned with this command. Pressing [Shift][D] will automate a unit to clear damage.

What kind of terrain become after they clear it : Lake or Grasland?

It doesn't say, but I assume it is just like clearing Forest. Whatever the underlying terrain is . . .

 

[Arathorn]

Ignore this! Wrong thread!!!

And if the former, can workers swim?

 

[Alone]

I ask that couse I read earlier that swamp tile can have "fish" as recourse. It was kind of silly if you clear swamp and fish stay on dry land . Maybe they change that or I didn't understand that clearly. Or they learn workers to swim.

Of course people make lakes in such case in real life, but it's only a game

 

[Tacit_Exit]

Good point re: Fish, I hadn't thought of that.
I guess either way theres going to be an oddity here.

 

[Arathorn]

From the readme:

No plague or volcanic eruption in MPP.

ARMIES:
"Blitz"
+1 move
faster healing

Captured workers have different unit art than regular workers.

PtW save files *should* load into C3C but it is not recommended that you try/do so. Old "vanilla" Civ3 files can't be loaded by C3C directly, but you can try going through PtW first and get to C3C that way. Supposed to work, but they don't sound too certain.

Will the game be faster than before? I hate to play one game for a whole month.

I doubt it. Sine you won't even be able to trade maps or communications until the late middle ages I think the games will generally be slower in progression.
