I got a copy of Warlords

[jonpfl]

Oh yeah, and a watchtower

Just kidding of course. This is a joke from yesterday

 

[El Koeno]

Thanks for all the info

That looks like the 1.61 update.

Agreed, sounds like a little disappointment to me.

I didnt post everything since I didnt feel like typing it all in. There are 2 pages worth of changes starting on page 101

Wow, I can't believe that Cossacks were so throughly nerfed. I would say that may well classify as an over-nerf even.

 

[jonpfl]

Wow, my friend is playing and he just noticed the promotions are different

It goes 2/5/8 now

It was 3/7/10 before, right?

SORRY - I didnt realize he was playing the civ that got the bonus promotion

Sorry about that

2/5/10/17....

 

[AndreasS]

It was 2/5/10/17

He is probably playing a charismatic leader, needing 25 % less experience to get new promotions!

I guess that should give: 2/4/8/13 etc.....?

Jon, are there any other changes to the epic game besides 2 new units, the new leaders (+ UU), vassal states, and unique buildings?

For example: new resources/terrain or units.

 

[AndreasS]

Can you ask him to play the Rise of Rome scenario? I want to know if there are german tribes there.....hehe.....

 

[homeyg]

Btw, what is this about a photoshopped picture yesterday?

I didnt see anything I havent read before. No suprises from what I can see

Btw, what is this about a photoshopped picture yesterday?

Some guy played a hoax by photoshopping a picture of the box art onto an actual box in front of this computer. He started making a lot of claims such as the watchtower structure and privateers being in the game. However, he totally ignored people telling him to post a screenshot. Plus, someone found his homepage and saw that he boasted a lot about his photoshop skills. 1+1=2

A mongo clown claimed he had the game, and made up alot of stuf. The thread was glowing, and after 9 pages it was taken down. A Firaxis guy came in and said it was just alot of bullfeathers.....

 

[Maquis]

Double post...

 

[Veo]

those crafty dutchmen with thier privateers....

 

[turquoiseninja]

My question is, HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IT! I pre-ordered it from Amazon 10 days before it was "released", and it still hasn't been shipped yet, a day after it supposedly came out. None of the game stores in my local area have it, so how did anyone get it yet?!

It would be REALLY nice if Firaxis would try releasing games when they say they're going to, rather than making up release dates out of no where that aren't even true.

 

[Maquis]

Not photoshopped, but a crappy cellphone pic. My copy... still at work & cannot install it yet. I am looking through the manual though.


[edit] the pic:

Congratulationes!
