tell me if i'm wrong, but if i remember well, no one has talked about plague disaster for this scenario ? So, has plague option been activated ?

ok, i'm a bit late on this. but i'd like to know

[Aggie]

Not that I know Arghis. Why do you ask? Don't tell me you got the plague

[Socrates]

I have never seen a plague disaster in C3C for the simple reason that it's off by default, and I've never changed it (nor played the conquests where it is on by default). So I suspect that it's still off here, I don't see why it shouldn't be the case. And I think that plague occurs only when the city has grown up a little, which isn't the case as well now.

[Arghis]

oh well, it was just pure curiosity.

i was thinking to all the reason why civ3 is boring me, sometimes. The main one is the IA, of course; others are the lack of details / variation / depth. SGL, plagues, templars, & co, were in my opinion great addition. Volcanoes too, but i regret the absence of tornadoes or tsunami or earthquake for instance.

There is the global warming effect, yes, it's true, but as far as i've seen, it's a bit light. There's also ressources exhaustion.
yes, but in the long run, it's a bit always the same ...

No it isn't! This map is dynamite

[Arghis]

hmm, have i said something wrong ? i was not talking about your work, Aggie, but about the game limits. i'm working on a mod for Civ3, and i'm in charge of the map, so i know what it is to work with the editor.

[Aggie]

Hmmm, I obviously forgot the 'j/k' part in my reply. Don't worry. I'm not easily offended and certainly wasn't now .

You could use this turn tracker thing now if you like, instead of the roster thread. Up to you to decide what's easiest.

[Socrates]

Mmmh, interesting idea. How does it work ? You just play the turn, go to that page, and submit a "I have played the turn" ? Is your website working at any time and well ? I'll wait for your answers and other people's input.

[Arghis]

for me it s ok
