WW2 in the Pacific

The Battle of Manila, Round 2

We beat him off once but now he's back with
6 infantry and 1 elite marine. Looks like Dogboy
means business this time. Look at those nice,
fat, undefended transports, what a target for subs!

 

[DogBoy]

Ya, I feel like an idiot leaving those undefended. But to be honest, I didn't move them until the very end and by that time all my other ships had been moved. I won't let that happen again.

 

[DogBoy]

Anybody know where the save is? It has been 9 days since I last had it.

I had to resend the game to Apricorn on thurs.
For some reason he did not get it, though everyone else
on the allied team did. I will ask him to confirm that
he received it.

 

[Apricorn]

Sorry about the delay, have played and sent to Dogboy

 

[DogBoy]

Ahh, my transports were left unharmed! Not only did my transports not get attacked, my elite unit gave me a great leader, I captured Manila, and (not telling the rest).

Meanwhile in Burbank, California, the first B-29 Superfortress
rolls off the assembly lines.

I just sent the game to the Commonwealth.

Any thoughts about the Civ3 Conquests Patch 1.20? The way I understand it, if one goes to 1.20, then all would have to do so. I tried to open a game saved in v1.20 in mine (v1.50 i think) and it would not load.

 

[eric_A]

It would be impossible to upgrade in the middle of the
game unless somebody writes a program to convert
saved games to the new format. I think I will look
into doing a second install on my second hard drive so
I can keep both versions around.

I'm not sure what is the best thing. My ladder games are going to v1.2. I think I can keep v1.15 on another computer and have it all.

Saved games can be played in v1.2. You just can't play v1.2 saves unless you have v1.2.

 

[DogBoy]

Everybody can patch to the 1.20 and it should work just fine. As soon as you play a game, it automatically updates the save to 1.20. What Firaxis means is that if somebody doesn't upgrade and they stay at 1.15, they will no longer be able to play the game. It's the same way it has been for 2 years with PTW and now conquests.

 

[eric_A]

We should upgrade to this one as 1.20 has a multiplayer
bug. Perhaps we can all agree to upgrade at the
end of the current turn.

 

[jhnolte]

On another site I subscribe to people are saying that they can't load any prior to v1.22 saved games into v1.22. They say not even v1.20 can't be loaded into v1.22. I haven't tried it myself so I can't verify this.

I have myself loaded a v1.15 into v1.20 and it works. But I couldn't go the other way, from v1.20 to v1.15.

 

[DogBoy]

Do NOT get the 1.22 patch. It will not load 1.15 or 1.20. Everybody needs to stay with the 1.20 patch. If anybody did install the 1.22 patch, they need to uninstall civ3 conquests, REBOOT the computer. I say again, REBOOT the computer. Then install civ3 conquests, and install the 1.20 patch.

 

[Apricorn]

Guys, Due to the fact that Im not living at home at the moment, Im not going to be able to play a turn for a while. Im going to try and get Civ installed on the computer where Im at now, but dont know whether this will be in a few days or a week or two.

If you would like to get a temporary replacement in during this period, I'll understand.

Who's got the game right now?

 

[DogBoy]

Not me, last I played the game was 31 March. Someone probably has it but can't figure out what to do about the patch.

NOTE: If you got the 1.22 patch and the game won't work, it's real simple to fix. First thing is uninstall civ3 conquests. Next you have to REBOOT. I say again, REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER. Now install civ3 conquests. Install the 1.20 patch. Good to go.

 

[DogBoy]

Ok, Where is the game? There are only 3 of us so this should be going pretty quickly now. I sent the game to eric_A several days ago and I assumed he sent it to Joe. Is it a safe assumption to say Joe has it but might be out of town? I'm going to forget what I'm supposed to do when I get the turn again.
