The Game
Help forum brings us some figures on industry.
Figures...figures? Well, figures as in if my trade partner wants 25 loads of weapons, who
many iron mines do I need?
Apart
from this bit of numerology, the moods
of the gods are still under discussion. When do I throw a
party? How many temples do I
need? Should the be exalted
always?
The discussion even give you some information getting yourself "Idolized like a
god" <G>
For a bit of good news, Tzar will remain Tzar, so you'd better keep showing up there, or
else...
And remember...only one more day till the
Age of Kings beta signup!
It
seems to be beta time again. Two days from now the Age of Kings signup starts at...Age of Kings Heaven.
In another corner of Heaven, Tzar Heaven to be
precise, preparations are underway for a another beta-test spectacular. Do hop over and
check out the news, and while you're there, please add your vote to the Crownguard
thread.
Crownguard, I hear you wonder?
Well, Haemimont are thinking of changing the name of the game to Crownguard. Is this
really a good idea...?
A
questionnaire is doing the rounds in the Game
Help forum, it poses a simple question...what was the toughest
scenario?
The Technical
forum is giving technical advice of a different kind, as the Beating
the Heat thread has turned into out very own gardeners advice corner. Maybe some tips
on getting more out of the Caesar 3 gardens will show up.
Anyone care for a tomato?
Apart from teasing
people away from the forum Summer is allowing some other forumers to spend some real
quality time chasing Julius' laurels. It looks like we can expect some more newly
inaugurated Caesars announcing their joy in the Community forum soon.
Not one but two monuments for Angel Reckless
Rodent and Cherub Onnoculator have appeared in the Community forum. One by Octavion in Naples,
the other showed up shortly afterwards in Alexandria.
Last but not least...this angel assumes
his fellow angel meant Monkey Island in his previous news flash?
<G>
Phew!
Another game bites the dust, as Discworld Noir is finally finished, after 2 weeks of
head-scratching, nail-biting playing. Well recommended if you like games like Grim
Fandango and Money Island.
But
enough of that, here's a roundup of what's happening in C3H today:
Apologies for
what happened yesterday. It seems like the Gamestats servers in Toronto went down
for 5 hours or so (I was wondering why I couldn't connect...I was beginning to get rather
worried) due to some sort of a fire. Anyway, we're back online now, and GS are
working real hard to make sure that anything like that doesn't disrupt our service in the
future. For the official word on what happened, click
here.
These are exciting times
in HGS - I can't say why, but let me give you a bit of a hint. Keep checking Age of Kings Heaven and Tzar Heaven every day to make sure you don't miss a
boat that many, many people will be wanting to catch.
If AOK and Tzar don't rock your world
(why not;)?), then there's a thread which was posted recently in the forum asking about
the toughest scenario in C3. If you've got thoughts on the matter (and you surely
will), then let
people know what you think.
I hear that some people have been having
trouble getting the Mac version of C3 to work. Well, here's the official word from
Impressions on the matter from their Mac-Games.com
site:
Notice: We have
discovered that 2 game files, damaged during the CD replication process for Caesar III
Mac, cannot be copied during the full install. In addition, these 2 files are used during
Mission 8 (Lutetia) and will cause a freeze to occur even if you have performed a small or
medium install. The 2 game files in question are: /wavs/14b.wav and /wavs/14w.wav. To fix
the problem, please go here.
If you have further tech
problems with the Mac version of C3, then remember that Cherub Et Flavius is always on
hand (when he's not fishing;)) in the technical
forum to lend a hand.
It's that
time of the week again. It's time for the one and only GameStats contest! This
time, they have one which will doubtless appeal to our US visitors. This week you
have the chance to win one of seven copies of "America's Funniest Home Videos
Light's! Camera! Interaction!" Click the pic to see what it's all about.
Back in Rome, there's another birthday for one of
our forum regulars. Why not find
out who and give them your best wishes?
Angel Jayhawk
has been busy recently cooking up something that will please everyone who delights in
participating in housing
block discussions - he's come up with a glyph to represent a palace. Here it is:
Neat, huh? It looks like other
people have been busy too - check
these out!
