No, no I like it DnG!
We need more realism! 
Side note: Everytime I use a smilie these days, the "cursor" reverts to the top of the reply post. Is this happening to anyone else?

I personally would prefer it if they stayed off of this forum. The people that produce games and software for any platform work hard to do so. If you want them to continue their efforts, *purchase* a copy like everyone else.

i was not saying that there was an update to SMAC. i have not even heard of one. However, i would like to see one, a SMAC II or something. i was really hoping that the diplomacy model in SMAC would make its way to Civ III. i think that the diplomacy in Civ III is rather dummied down. One of the nice things about SMAC is that the player can decide when and how to cancel treaties. There is none of that 20 turns crap. Additionally, and one of the most interesting things, was that in SMAC the player could entreat another civ to "lay off" an ally. One of the most frustrating things in Civ III is that once you engage in an alliance with another nation you pretty much have decided to go to war. This in turn, will hurt your score, or make other nations think you don't keep your treaties with them when the nation that you ally with is not allied with another nation you have some other treaty with. There is no way to create a group of allies as you could in SMAC. This, i think, is the underlying flaw in Civ III that makes it one of the silliest game "upgrades" that i have ever seen--very disappointing. Although the player has the suggestion of control, you really dont'--your treaties create a windfall of silly reactions by the computer players and you have absolutely no control over them. The nation you ally with will undoubtedly pull you into a war--usually against another nation you have some other treaty with, that then creates a windfall of wars. In SMAC, the player could engage in alliances and if war was about to occur, you could do something to stop it. It was more realistic, added a great deal more to diplomacy.

Right, and I especially like that you didn't have to honor the alliance (MPP = Civ3) in SMACX.

Thx for the feedback, guys ( even though I didn't really ask for any
). I think I'll stick with this one for now, at least until I find something more... more... what's that word I'm looking for?Anyway, no, when I use a smiley, the curser acts like it's supposed to. I mean, it stays where it's supposed to stay... it doesn't go anywhere.

Not really. Are you using the...
okay, yes. I just tried it the traditional way - by clicking on the smilie. The cursor put the smilie in place and jumped to the top.
Hadn't noticed it before. I never actually click on the smilies to add them, I just manually type in the smilie code from the [Get More] window.

Actually, now that I really take a look at it (I manually type them out as well), it does revert to the top. I suppose that it could get annoying if I used the smilie buttons.
Have you noticed that you also can't insert a smilie into the middle of some text that you've already typed? I mean, it always gets inserted at the end of your reply when you click it, not where the curser is.

Well, here it is, roughly 4:45 PST and no editor. No blame, I know their hardly working on it, er, working hard on it... but another weekend slips by without the editor. Bummer.
I think I'm going to talk to my wife, see if she's bribing them to keep it under wraps.

Yea, but its been that way ever since I joined CFC, never thought it might be a bug - guess it could be. I just got use to it.

I believe that is a limit of JavaScript - there is no way to know where the cursor is in the text, which means the script abviously cannot know where to insert the smiley. If there is a work-around, I don't know it
So, if I got it right, the editor is finished but they are waiting for the documentation to be ready? This is getting boring...

Quite right. They're waiting to post as they finish documentation... which is nice, but the thing is so long overdue that it's irritating to think about.
Or boring. Just last night, I played a little of "The Sims" ("Vacation" edition -- kept looking for Chevy Chase), "Ghost Recon" (kept expecting to see surrendering Republican Guards), and since I couldn't get my old "Unreal Tournament" to fire up, I pulled "Aliens v. Predator" off the shelf for the first time. Played 3 levels worth as a space marine (which had a spookiness I haven't seen since the first time I played "Marathon" some ten years ago).
No editor is boring, and annoying, and aggravating... but the other games were a nice distraction.
But like was said earlier with the arrow keys not working correctly, this documentation seems much more of a luxury, not a necessity. Understandably, a wierd bug may decimate a computer and it would be nice to read that in the documentation, however, it's still a luxury. An old question: How much longer? Any educated guesses?

It's been over a month since the editor went FC. Any idea on when? Anyone know anything about it?

Check the "Al Schilling..." thread. He mentioned the timeframe. If not this past Saturday (and apparently "not"), then maybe Monday or Tuesday.

I have missles
One day we'll be looking back and saying, "How the hell did it take two weeks for them to "finish documentation"?
Looking at my Civ 3 receipt, I bought Civ 3 Mac on 2/16/02. It is now 2/9/02. In exactly one week from now I will have had Civ 3 sans editor for one full year.
