They are still saying there will be another patch - but only they know what it will contain.

Here is hoping - .

End of June for US and for the rest of the world !!!!!!!!!!

I'm stupid Yankees don't care about them.

And "They are still saying there will be another patch" so if i'm lucky i could play R&R for Christmas.

Sad !

But wait

All other C3C patches have been released for the entire world at the same time, and I don't think that's going to change with the last patch

I'm curious, because I haven't played DyP since Xmas either, and since it's not on Conquest yet, I barely touch Conquest. Does anyone know of another mod, that comes very close too DyP that they are playing now, that is for Conquest? I need a fix, but I get bored with vanilla, and those mods with hardly any 'depth' too them.

I know I could just play DyP for PTW, but.. I don't know.. something is wrong with me, and I have too play it on Conquest. Wow, just thinking about that makes me wonder if I should seek professional help.

Have you played the Ancient Mediterranean Mod? It is rich in detail and has lots of new units and a new tech tree. I play it more than epic conquests now and I never play vanilla civ 3 or PTW at all.

I have never played DYP so I cannot compare. I'm waiting, like you, for the conquests version.

I hear ya, I just can't bring myself to play PTW DyP either with the prospects of a Conquests version coming out.

I wonder what's going to be featured with the new version? Kal! HELP! Please give us a peek, we're dying here ;-;!

-And will we (who have C3C but no PTW) need to download separated files for WWII fighters and tanks?

 

[Kal-el]

you will need to download the PtW extras.

 

[Kal-el]

darn the triple post.

spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spammity spam, spammity spam!

 

[RobO]

Be careful with that!
You're starting to sound like Isak

 

[MSpencer1313]

If anyone is waiting for a progress update, I'll give a quick one that's less general.

Basically the mod is pretty much done. Balance issues need to be addressed and the Civlopedia updated. My guess is a release at some point in the future (Could you guess that I can't give a release date?) as work is perfected.

And the mod is looking great.

 

[calinator]

Will this be on kal el's world map? If so, will this be a new version of the world map or the old version? By the way, I'm a huge fan of this mod and can't wait for Rise and Rule. Keep up the good work guys.

 

[NateDawgNY]

Sounds Good. Can't wait for the release!

 

[Lord_all_Mighty]

Hey guys, when you finally do release R&R could you do a seperate file with only the differences from the PTW files (art files, rules, etc.) and the conquests version? That way, people like me who's computer takes 8 hours just to download the scenario don't have to go through the long tedious process again.

 

[tjedge1]

I believe R&R was built from scratch. Don't quote me, just thought I'd not let you get your hopes up since nobody else has responded yet. The way I understood it, they rebuilt the entire mod from scratch. That's one of the reasons it's taking so long to be released.

 

[Turner]

That's what I understand too. There were too many differences between PTW and C3C to just import it, so they rebuilt it.

 

[RobO]

RaR is in fact built from scratch, but usign the experienced gained from DyP. So it has to be a separate download.

 

[Harrier]

Robo is right and he should know.

The differances between vanilla civ3 and PtW involved lots of complex work arounds to get things to work the way the DyP team (Robo was in that team) wanted.

C3C resolved some of those problems, so the decision was made to start from scratch with R&R.

To much patching and to many work arounds made the PtW version a nightmare to alter for C3C.

Unit balancing is still taking place, also some new C3C features do not work to well in mods. (Do not ask which, as some may be corrected in the final patch from Atari/Firaxis. ) If not they will not be in the mod.

But it is probable that a version will be made available for you all to enjoy by the end of the month.

Do not quote me though or Isak ( ) may delay it just for the fun of it.


Then when the final patch comes from Atari/Firaxis - well lets just wait and see.
