Question about the editor

Deathwalker · March 12, 2003, 10:19

Are they going to add the ability to set the siplomatic situation to the editor

Maybe, Maybe not

They've discussed it, but at this point I wouldn't hold your breath. I have a feeling we've seen the last changes we're going to until the next expansion pack. Sometime next year I'm guessing, towards Christmas.

So if I make a WW2 scenareo I can't make Germany hate Russia?

No, at present there's no way to set up any diplomatic options in a scenario. That is on Firaxis' wish list I believe, though when we'll see it implemented is anyone's guess.

No for the moment....but even if it were possible we dont even have specific starting locations so I dont see the use. Even culturaly linked starting positions usualy dont work well. On Marla's map I restarted a game maybe 20 times to have a close to normal starting position. I had the egyptians and rome, spain, greece next to me.....and the americans.

I hope they fix this someday.

I don't understand. Are you saying you can't select starting locations in the editor? If so, that's wrong, you can. Generate a map, right-click on a tile and select it's properties which include starting location.

I thought you could as well, but it's been a while since I've tinkered with it, and I don't have it handy to check, so I should probably just stop typing..

They should. Probably, they won't.

I'm pretty sure that any major new features will come in an expansion rather than a patch at this point.
