How about having a "clean" build of RFC before Warlords?

[V. Soma]

Herewith I propose for a clean and as-much-as-possibly bug free version of RFC
at the very moment before Warlords comes out...

I ask for this as Warlords is not coming out everywhere at the same time,
like here in Hungary we face a month delay or so...

I think we could celebrate our work on the beta of RFC
with having a 1.00 build for the basic Civ4 1.61...

I really agree, I don't think I'm going to buy warlords.

 

[SilverKnight]

Are you kidding? I can't WAIT!

Look at the diversified crowd you are helping, Rhye. We can't agree on anything!

[Rhye]

yes, I prefer to first finish the work on vanilla.
After all, Warlords will probably need some patches and I won't start working on it until it's the final update.

 

[V. Soma]

Wise planning

I agree, I think a good clean bug free version of RFC would be fantastic before we start to tinker with the new additions of warlords.

This might take over 6 months, who knows when the final patch for Warlords will come out??? I think we should start since day 1 of the release.

 

[Rhye]

We can plan things ahead, but no way I'm updating the SDK code twice or more.

 

[Prestidigitator]

Agreed, now I understand

I rest my case.

Whatever is easier to do is fine with me. Although we should finish up tweaking the "vanilla" parts of the game by the time of release, so we don't go back to patching it a hundred times. I seem to remember RoC becoming version 2.69 or something suitably huge, even while RoCX was still being changed.

My goodness, history does repeat itself!

Sorry, I get in a goofy mood when I'm tired. =

What things should we focus on? Just general game balance? The late game is still very off with all the emphasis we have been putting on early- and mid-game, but that's something we can work on.

ahahahha

we'll see


as for the focus, wait the next version, coming today or tomorrow

What do you think that Firaxis is exactly going to do with the SDK for Warlords? Will they include it with the release, or make us wait for once the patching process is finished? Thats true that it would be quite a pain to have to update the SDK several times for each patch.

 

[Rhye]

I don't know yet.

 

[Blasphemous]

Just please give a week's notice Rhye, before you release the first RFCW... I won't buy Warlords until there's an RFC to go with it, since I'd hate to play cIV without RFC.

Personally, I'll need some downtime to check out all of the cool scenarios... hmm, I feel a rant coming on. Stay tuned. I'm about wiped for today.
