Extra Pack: In search for testers - Page 2

And btw: should I send you my saves at -1000, 10 and 1000 as the Vikings?

Wernazuma III · August 20, 2002, 14:21

Hagbart: Actually it's enough if you mail me the standings of the respective sav-games (and that won't block my mail account

). I want to know which new civs are statistically the strongest and which the weakest. Don't mind about not having had enough time, my time is limited too at the moment.

Schee · August 20, 2002, 14:49

Oh I got a 1100 AD savegame as the Phoenicians (in 1110 the Celts want to talk to me and the game crashes), I can send it if you want.

Wernazuma III · August 20, 2002, 14:56

Schee, didn't you get my email about having resolved this bug?

Schee · August 20, 2002, 15:59

But even after replacing the Civ3mod.bic, it still crashes.

Or maybe you sent another email explaining what to do to avoid the bug

If it is the case I didn't receive this email

Ribannah · August 20, 2002, 17:22

Here are the standings in my game in 350 AD (emperor level)

Celts 863 (that's us)
Ethiopia 807 (effective warriors)
Incas 792
Khmer 676
Israel 668
Turkey 609
Vikings 558
Arabia 541
Korea 531
Phoenicia 492
Mayas 470
The Netherlands 468 (timid, but have Pyramids and Lighthouse)
Spain 463
Poland 440 (almost wiped out by us now)
Rome 422
Mongolia 343 (the third civ on my isle)

Wernazuma III · August 21, 2002, 12:50

Schee: You have to start a new game to avoid the bug, it lamentably won't work in a game already started.

Schee · August 21, 2002, 13:09

OK that's what I thought, so I started another game after receiving your email.

Conquistador · August 21, 2002, 14:17

Just wondering if you are still looking for testers? If you are, I would be very interested. If you have enough testers already, I would be happy to wait for the finished product.

Solomyr · August 22, 2002, 15:22

i will mimic the Conquistador's reply, if you are in need of testers, i just finished summer quarter and will have to fill my days with something

Ribannah · August 22, 2002, 16:43

Why is the Drakkar better than the Quinquireme?
Both move 4 squares, ad cost 30 shields, but the Drakkar can also finish safely on sea squares (handled fine by the AI btw).

Hagbart · August 23, 2002, 09:57

Ribannah: Because the Vikings had very advanced ships.

I like the Drakkar too and I don't think it should be changed!

Ribannah · August 23, 2002, 12:29

Yeah but what if the Vikings are your enemies?

JoshHam · August 23, 2002, 19:38

i wanna be a playtester! but it is probably too late. i shoud've asked earlier. anyhow, if you want another playtester, you know who to pm.

Schee · August 25, 2002, 12:53

Er... My HD just dropped me and I lost my saves, your mod, CivIII, and Windows

I think I won't be able to playtest again until a few weeks, because I have to buy another HD, to reinstall all that was installed, and to go to work in a few days

Schee...

Hagbart · August 26, 2002, 13:29

I don't know if it's a bug, but when talking to Isabella (in the ancient age) she says something like: "God-King Isabella..." I think it should be God-Queen if anything, but I do not know if you can change this. BTW the Ethiopean leader talks about vegetarian curry.
But no crashes speaking to them.

Poor you Schee

Wernazuma III · August 26, 2002, 13:54

The Diplomacy text got to be changed a bit, I know. But it's lots of work and really difficult, and I really lack the time to do so at the moment. I think I'll release the ExtraPack without the changed Diplo-text and maybe adding it later on...

Good idea, btw i just saw Cairo as an Arab city, the Egyptians are not and have not been in the game. Is this on purpose?

Hagbart · August 26, 2002, 15:46

I've found a bug:
When I (the Vikings) contacted the Celts for the first time in the Middle Ages Civ3 crashed to Windows (I'm using win2000).

Maybe it was just a random crash

Wernazuma III · August 26, 2002, 18:38

Hagbart: Read all of this thread. The bug has been fixed.

Panag · August 31, 2002, 19:06

Schee · September 1, 2002, 14:28

Er... it seems my comp wants to work again with his new HD... but do you think your mod can work on a French version of Civ III ?

Hagbart · September 1, 2002, 15:37

panag it's just because you can't follow instructions!
No one else had problems.

have a nice day

Wernazuma III · September 1, 2002, 15:40

Schee, honestly I think it should work perfectly, but of course you shouldn't overwrite the Civilopedia.txt then as the one from the Extra-Pack is in English.

Wernazuma III · September 1, 2002, 15:41

panag: do you the latest FIRAXIS patch of the game?
