Please, somebody tell us unfortunate ones, who do not have the game.

I agree i cant wait another day :-D

Please don´t call me paranoid, but this ominous silence points to the fact, that there are *no* scenarios included.

Hope I am wrong, though.

Same here... That's why I asked this question specificaly.

The fact that Blue's (pre-release) copy did not have any scenario's is not encouraging at all.

This was a long time ago. A lot of features have been scrapped since then, for example minor civilizations, corporations, etc. and many without corrective announcements.

Comrade Tribune · October 29, 2001, 19:04

Minor Civilizations?

I had forgotten about them. Another feature I liked that vanished without a trace.

Knowing the quality of most of the Microprose scenarios in FW/CiC, I would rather wait a few months for some of the great custom scenarios that a few folks here will be developing. But it would be nice to have at least one just to see how it can be fundamentally done.

well exCUSE them jeezus. do u see any of those on any feature lists? all features 'scrapped' either were never on any feature lists, or were taken off.

Why the interest over Scenario's? I find them to be dull, just a reconstruction of the same thing made out to be something that it's not.

If it was constructed like the way Age of Kings Scenario's is, then I could feel that it really is a scenario..

Generally, I agree with you.

1) However, a few months is a long time.

2) They very definitely promised 12 scenarios. This would be another promise not kept, which bodes ill for other things, including, but not limited to, AI.

I am not criticising them, merely pointing out that just because it was announced at some point does not mean it has not been scrapped.

Moreover, I don't see the scenarios on the feature list either, so your statement supports my point.

Comrade Tribune · October 29, 2001, 19:38

This question should really be settled by now: Are the scenarios in, or no?

Locutus · October 29, 2001, 20:06

A number of people in the chatroom just confirmed it: NO SCENARIOS! NONE!!!

I guess the new Firaxis motto is "Promises, Schmomises"...

Roman · October 29, 2001, 20:15

Aaargh

Thanks anyway, Locustus.

Comrade Tribune · October 29, 2001, 20:32

My opinion on this is in my sig.

The Test of Time scenarios were great (actually, three were more like hacked mods, except official, one was an excellent scenario, and another downloadable-but-official scenario was also very good (not as good as the in-game one though)).
