Stormrage
Ever Present Taskmaster
I`ve crossed my fingers! (well, not really, I`m typing now, and then I`ll eat some pan-cakes but you know..)
OZ - I got an answer from the answering machine during the holidays, if that counts
The best way to approach mrtn is from either left or right, he doesn`t like people sneaking up to him from behind, and if he sees us to soon he`ll say: "no, its hardcoded".
Oz: we`ll be back after the hollidays.
I'm just curious: other than those like Warpstorm, who was actively involved in playtesting, has anyone EVER received a response from Firaxis / Take Two / Inforgrames / Anybody?

Steph's project is not exactly staying with CivIII you know.If you want to stay with Civ III, I am betting Steph's project is the way to go.
No offense taken, you are right. We are working part time, and it's not easy. However, given some results we get, I sometimes wonder about the efficiency of said dedicated paid teamNow, even though I am sure this will raise the ire of Steph, I am betting that he is years away from putting out a product that will satisfy most people. No offense is intended towards Steph with that statement. I am simply imagining all the man-years that went into building Civ III, and comparing that to Steph's project.
Steph is working part-time at his project, with a team scattered across the planet, all made up of volunteers. That simply can't be as efficient as having a dedicated, paid team, working closely together in the same building.
The more they wait, the more it will cost them!I know what they are doing. They are letting Steph & co. make SSS, and then they `ll pay him loads of $$$$ for it, rename it Civ V, and voila! - the perfect crime -they didn`t move a finger, and "made" the perfect game, a heaven for players and modders alike
Decompiling C++ is not so easy. One possibility would be to "intercept" some events to change the effect.BTW - can the code thingy be cracked or something? Or reverse engineered? Cos, before there was mention of them not even having the code anymore, so all they had to do know was turn a blind eye for a couple of modders, who are little people to them corporate giants.. munchkins really..
