I sure hope... Enter the AD-FREE zone

That in the Play the World editor, there is a dadgum minimap. Do you know how hard it is to make a map without a minimap? Yeah, I'm sure you do.

I also hope that you can pick which civ starts where on a certain map...ala Civ2.

Basically, I hope that they go back to Civ2 Mapeditor, and add in everything into the Civ3 editor that was in the Civ2 one that they left out in the first place.

I also hope that they allow all the Cheat options in some form or fashion that you had in Civ2. Those were great for making scenarios...maybe call them Scenario Tools instead of Cheat.

Um, there will be a minimap for the editor in the upcoming free patch....

Tired of ads?

The lack of a Civ 2 style Cheat Mode (and scenario building) remains a major problem with Civ 3 - and a ripoff as the Civ 3 box never said those vital elements were missing.

The Cheat Mode in Civ 2 was great. I used it for such as controlling my own accelerated startups, or switching sides in a scenario.

I agree completely. Everytime I wanted to make a scenario, I felt so guilty . You can call me a liar, an egotist, a communist, but Im not a cheater *sob*....

Suffering from ads?

The "June" editor patch (no longer June though) will contain the editor that can do all of those things. The 'cheat mode' is very unlikely to be included in that patch though, and highly doubtful for PtW.

It never said they were present either. No one said they were. YOU may consider them vital elements to a Civ game; I don't. And I'm sure there are others who think the same as me.
