First reaction to patch 1.17

volcanohead · February 14, 2002, 15:36

Apologies if this appears premature, wanted to see if the good mood I see generated by the information in the patch is shared by people who don't post, but who do poll.

The patch seems great, they have included stacked movement and fixed a lot of other minor things

Gimme the patch now

Salvor · February 14, 2002, 16:26

I'm not going to be rash enough to say this is a silly poll, but I will wait until at least tomorrow before I vote. Be forewarned, that after tomorrow it may be a while before I am able to tear myself away from the game long enough to answer polls, though. If there are many others like me, it may skew your results.

kittenOFchaos · February 14, 2002, 16:41

It is a silly poll

Barnacle Bill · February 14, 2002, 16:47

Still a long way to go to deliver on the pre-release hype regarding scenario/mod capabilities.

Nikolai · February 14, 2002, 16:48

So far, it looks great!

lawren8 · February 14, 2002, 16:49

The problem is that all whiners and firaxis trashers

are going underground and won't repond to the poll.

looks like the forums are going to be a more interesting place to read again

August Borms · February 14, 2002, 18:17

I haven't installed it yet, but the .exe file looks nice

Moronic. Submoronic.

You have these new features thanks to the critics. The ones who ought to be ashamed are the spineless sycophants who argued that nothing was wrong with the game.

This patch is our vindication, thank you very much.

Half-full, half-empty. To an engineer its just a sub-optimally sized glass.

To a realist they realise if they hang around long enough, someone is gonna have to wash up the glass

Installing the patch now

siredgar · February 15, 2002, 02:06

Let me finish my game first.

ColdWizard · February 15, 2002, 02:12

the patch looks promising, but it's too soon to tell

"* It is now possible to completely suppress a city's cultural reversion with enough military units. "

If this is true, then I will start playing Civ III again. This was, IMHO, the worst part about Civ III. I hated capturing enemy cities and then losing my entire army due to cultural reversion the next turn.

Has anyone gotten a feel for how large the garrison needs to be to suppress this" And, can a large garrison now prevent your own cities from falling to enemy cultures? If so, this will give the more militaristic governments a strong hand as they tend to have larger garrisons for the police bonus.

If someone conducts some trials to determine the formula for the anti-culture garrison, please post it. I would hate to still lose my army just because I was one unit short.

Libertarian · February 15, 2002, 07:23

See this thread. The answer's in there, I believe.

Brundlefly · February 15, 2002, 11:07

The patch looks great!

For a while now, I had a feeling something was missing while walking around on deck with a peg leg and a parrot on my shoulder. Now that I have the patch it seems like everything has come together for me! I no longer feel pretentious when saying "Aaaargh, Matey!" or "Shiver me timbers!"

You have these new features thanks to the fine folks at Firaxis. Really, do you feel that special? You did not do one thing towards completing these feature.

Nobody argued that nothing was wrong with the game. Our arguments were that the whiners whined consistantly and obnoxiously about whatever their pet issue was.

Feel free to pat yourself on the back, but in the end you did nothing.

Thrawn05 · February 15, 2002, 13:51

I might skip it, since there is a prob with the editor, and I have edited a lot of maps. Unless they release somthing like 1.7g that is like 1.17f but supports the current editor.

Salvor · February 15, 2002, 14:13

Thrawn05, do you mean something like this?

Well, it's crystal clear what your pet issue is. Try to get a grip, won't you?

Spec · February 15, 2002, 14:51

Finaly!!! A positive attitude on Apolyton! I thought I'd never see this day! Even Libertarian is, somewhat happy!

AND I GOT STACK MOVEMENTS!!! YAY!!!

Spec.

Spec · February 15, 2002, 16:12

or is he?.....

Libertarian · February 15, 2002, 16:19

Certainly, Spec. All the critics are happy that we've brought you such improvements as stack movement. It is your gratitude and kind words that have fueled us.

Please give it up. These types of comments are ludicrous and serve no purpose. Face it, you didn't do Sh*t

Thank YOU man. If it weren't for YOU then the game would still suck (like it ever did) Libertarian, leader of Firaxis and master know it all of Civ3, I bow to you and all other great whinners!!
