Poll - How do you rate the new patch?

[Dark Sheer]

I say its good but it can be better.

But then again, what things can not be better?

Also, it doesn't take a genius to recognize a weird pattern of whining.

Some people will just never be happy with what they have.

The patch could use some work, but it's good enough for my Civil War scenario.

the patch should be impressive however I cant actually see the point in it.
I mean its not like we can make scenarios so why bother with the unit placing stuff?
The only thing I like is that you can now add civs, something ill be doing in my civ3mod.bic

THe patch is rather like a car with no steering wheel - you can see how good it is and admire it for its technical brilliance and the hard work that went into it. But if you want to do anything with it you cant.

Hehe. Very true. I'm thinking of testing something where I try and force nations to team up on another group of nations. This is what im going to do. Set Team A (3 nations. I'll just call each nation A1, A2 and A3) to have their favoured goverments as Democracy and shunned as Communism, and be of European culture group. A1 has oil and furs, A2 has rubber and gems, and A3 has Aluminium and wines.

Then theres Team B. Favoured Gov. Communism, shunned Gov. Democracy, culture group - American. B1 has oil and furs, B2 has rubber and gems and B3 has aluminium and wines. I will also, change the requirements for the more advanced units to require all three resources (just to force it that extra bit)

I want to see how the alliances will form. Of course, location will have alot to do with it so i may try and place civs next to the ones I want them to war with.

This is a pretty poor way of doing things tho. Having a proper Diplomacy options would be much better.

O yeah. I think the patch is good in that it improves on 1.21 and fixes many issues...... But as a "final" patch (i.e. you HAVE to buy PTW to get any other game play/editor improvements), i think its pretty poor. This is what I have going through my head. To get the diplomacy function in the editor (just one example), I have to buy PTW, and any patches that may be released after PTW, will require PTW. I don't like that idea, as I may not buy PTW (undecided )
