Let's see a Civilization III from birth to Alpha Centauri

[marooned]

Civilization 3 is a very good civ. Civilization IV for some reason has lost some of the charm. Probably too many useless stuff like religion. One thing I've never understood is why your borders depend so much on culture. Considering the bloody history of humankind you'd think military force should have something to say about nation limits.

skyway shall declare war on the Entire World

A true patriot. :')

 

[taplonaplo]

can't ... wait ... for ... AC.

 

[Monocause]

bump, bump. A shameless bump. I want the industrial age to come.

 

[Monocause]

As is usual in Civ games.

 

[MetalCraze]

Monocause is exaggerating.

 

[taplonaplo]

Yeah, Civ 1 rules:

For the glory of the Skyway empire!

 

[Mrowak]

Oh, goodie. New episode :Grabs the popcorn:

Also, bump to the next page.

 

[spekkio]

Bumped in the name of the Holy Skyway Empire!

Onwards

 

[sportforredneck]

Continue, nig nogs.

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

Wait you can get to Alpha Centauri in Civ III?
Can we get to the next page?

 

[Jaedar]

This LP is awesome.

I urge you, continue.

Before the update, here is the real soundtrack for this LP from now on:

Good to know, now show us the ass kickery!

The save game was crashing. Then as a last resort. I downloaded the Civilization III Multi-tool and hope I could fix it with its save game editor.

Error: Type mismatch (13) in c3mt @ frmSaveEdit.frm Line 3710

Oh wait, but it also allows for a save game to be converted into a scenario. Here goes the last hope for this LP to not jump straight from Civilization to Alpha Centauri, unless someone can give advice to fix this crap.

Error: Object variable or With block variable not set (91) in c3mt @ SAVE_Map_Tile.cls Line 203

:codexrage: :codexrage: :codexrage: :codexrage:

I happen to have a backup savegame but it's 40-20 turns earlier and I can't bother now. Besides, the game would be just a steamroll from now on because like in all Civilization games, if you did well in the Ancient Ages, you'll be kicking ass with your Civ for all time to come. Maybe something good will come from this problem. A pity, but I suppose that the spirit of skyway was so strong that even the save file decided to give the finger.

I have several screenshots I didn't upload yet, but due RL I stopped the ongoing game before finishing the update, and the screens aren't very interesting because the Union of Socialist Skyway Republics wasn't established yet with its war on the failure of the free market(the entire world) didn't begin during the already taken SS.

Anyway. Time to move on to SMAC now, unless someone knows any way of fixing this shit.

Also, this is the second worst rage-enducing issue since the ITZCOM's unexpected game over. Why does this sort of thing seem to only happen in my LP threads?

 

[sportforredneck]

This is very saddening. I really liked this LP. Never played SMAC before though, so I guess that'll be interesting to see.

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

No autosaves in Civ3? That's what saved my Alpha Centauri game last night when it crashed on me.

Get on that shit then. Alpha Centauri is a reskinned civ, yes, but it's a lot more than that too.

 

[Cassidy]

All the last 4 autosaves were also corrupted.

first you die in AP's tutorial, now this?

 

[taplonaplo]

Only 4 autosaves? AC clearly is superior! (tho i don't know how many of those 10 are actually used). Shame that it ended like this tho

 

[marooned]

The machine finally resorted to cheap tricks to preserve the Mainstreamed Decadence.

to you, comrade.


Get on with Alpha Centauri then. Been ages since I played that. Might inspire me to go through it.

 

[spekkio]

Cheapest attempt at LP-abandoning in the history.



At least Brother Neinmaske continues his ass-kickery in my LP...

 

[praetor]

a sad day for the 'dex

Cassidy, let me know if you decide to give up on Civ3 and move to SMAC. I'll send you package of files that will go into next release of unofficial patch. There are still a few things I want to clear up so prob another week and half before I get around to packaging it all. This won't cause any compatibility issues, you will be able to just update on top of it. I thought I had more time before you moved into SMAC but now that your Civ3 save got hosed I figured I'd give you option. I had planned to release v1.1 earlier but I got side tracked working on ODP/Flechette code and spent a lot of time doing complete analysis of how code works.
