I seem to be
having a thing about having the word "front" in the title of my news updates at
the moment for some reason. Still, here we are with the weekend update. Oh, by
the way, the reason for there only being 1 update this weekend is twofold. On one
hand, I've been looking around for a new computer (which I bought this morning :-) ), and
there have also been some problems - check Pharaoh
Heaven for an explanation.
Ok,
so what's going on in the C3 community at the moment. I'll be honest, things are
very, very quiet. Whether this is because of the summer holidays (northern
hemisphere) or because people are keeping their posting powder dry until the release of
Pharaoh, who knows. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks, when Pharaoh hits the
shelves.
Just time for a
speedy update again, I'm afraid. Why the odd title? It's because someone on
the Game
Help forum has been having problems in Londinium (my home front). Here are the
details:
I
was wondering where to put these [industrial buildings]. How should I go about
balancing pottery for in/and export? I know I'm not the only one stuck in
Londinium. So far I started from scratch 4 times. Shouldn't I build below the
small farmland at all? All the ratings are way above needed except the
prosperity. Any info would be great, since I don't wanna win cheating.
If you have any suggestions, post
them here. I'm sure all help will be gratefully received.
Pharaoh is
sounding better all the time. Check out Pharaoh
Heaven to see why. Also, don't forget that beta signups will cease tomorrow, so
don't delay!
Ok, I guess you're
probably all sick of me yakking on about Pharaoh
Heaven now - I've just looked down the page and there have been links to PH in every
one of the past 4 news stories. Sorry about that, I'm just eager that people should
start looking around there, after all...it's where all the excitement is going to be in
the near future. If Impressions are still shooting for an October release, then I
guess that's when our Caesar III Heaven visitors will start to trickle away to PH
(hopefully;)). Remember, however, we won't be closing this site down for a very
long time, though you'll have to forgive us if the news updates become more sporadic
following Pharaoh's release.
Down to some C3-related stuff now.
There was some hope earlier on in the Game Help forum that wolves might not be as bad as
they first seem, with the thought that they could be turned against enemies attacking your
city. However, I think it's now been decided that such a move is unfeasible.
If you know differently, then let
us know!
Just a quick
update today, I'm afraid. Pharaoh Heaven has been the place to be for exciting news
for the past week or so, and today is no different. I've managed to get an
exclusive interview with one of the Impressions guys when he's in London at the beginning
of September.
Clearly, I'll be
needing your questions. Head over to Pharaoh
Heaven for the details.
It seems to be
"return of the regulars" this week in the forum. Yesterday we had
kaluhiok, and today we've got another former regular here returning to the fold.
He's a bit lost right now though, and wants to know what's been going on recently.
If you're up to it, then please let
him know!
Yet more exciting
news over at Pharaoh Heaven today too...
If you've been
visiting us for a long time and have spent some time in the forums, then you'll know that
there are quite a few people who love taking a look right inside the workings of C3.
A name you might remember who was particularly associated with this was kaluhiok. Well, now he's back, and as inquisitive as
ever.
So, if you like nothing
better than number crunching, check out his thread about labour
in C3.
Don't forget, the Pharaoh beta signups
are still ongoing. If you've already signed up but didn't read the agreement you
signed by clicking on the "I Accept" button at the bottom of the form, then
please take a look at what's happening in Pharaoh
Heaven today.
I had a spare
hour or so today, so decided to do a bit of general site updating. Here are the main
changes:
The Caesar III Nobel Prizes forum has gone
Angel Abelius has been removed - I haven't
heard anything from him for over a month. His pages will be deleted from the site
when our download Angels have put any of his downloads which aren't currently in the
general Caesar III Heaven download section in there.
Accordingly, the Abelius's C3 Page forum
has been removed.
The test forum has therefore become forum
number 7.
The archives
have been updated with last week's news.
