  [16:06] &lt;@Thunderfall> cool.&nbsp;<br />
  [16:06] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> We're in test with the next patch, which includes the editor update. Once we're signed off, we'll get it out.<br />
  [16:06] &lt;@theGreyFox> So should we start the Questionaire?<br />
  [16:07] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Hey Zeko<br />

  [16:07] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> troy: It's hard to say. Normally we don't talk about patches prior to release, but we broke that rule for e3.<br />
  [16:07] &lt;@theGreyFox> When you want to ask a Question you send a Private message to One of the Op's. Me, PaleHorse76 or ThunderFall&nbsp;<br />
  [16:08] &lt;@Thunderfall> Let's start the chat session officially...<br />
  [16:08] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Oh, is that how we are doing this?<br />
  [16:08] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Saphire: As soon as testing signs off on it.<br />
  [16:08] &lt;@Thunderfall> Jeff: Velikovsky wants to know if you play freecell. :)<br />
  [16:09] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Hell no! Using a p4 w/ geforce for freecell should be a crime.<br />
  [16:09] &lt;+Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS> Vel: Javier does<br />
  [16:09] &lt;@Thunderfall> hmm,.,, this is not working very well. I suggest we remove the modertaion for now.&nbsp;<br />
  [16:09] &lt;@theGreyFox> Philippe: When will the next patch be released?<br />
  16:09] &lt;@Thunderfall> Everyone, jsut don't flood our guests with too many questions.&nbsp;<br />
  [16:09] &lt;@PaleHorse76> [14 June 2002 - 16:09.24] &lt;Lovro> could you say "everyone who want to enjoy a normal chat with each other go to #demogame?"? please? thanks<br />
  [16:09] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Philippe: When testing signs off. It's hard to say when that'll be<br />

  [16:10] *** Thunderfall sets [channelmode] -m<br />
  [16:10] &lt;logitech009> Do you plan on releasing a civ 4 or is it too far away to tell??<br />
  [16:10] &lt;@PaleHorse76> &lt;Novaya> To anyone: "Of all the civilizations in Civ3, which is your favorite and why?"<br />
  [16:10] &lt;Ohwell> yay<br />
  [16:10] &lt;@Thunderfall> Let's leave the chat unmoderated for now...<br />
  [16:10] &lt;Citizen_k> rejoice all ye peasants!<br />
  [16:10] &lt;Velikovsky> 6 disaster impending<br />
  [16:10] &lt;@theGreyFox> IceEye: Can you tell us more about the Viking UU?<br />
  [16:10] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> ChrTh: We're going to be revealing all the civs in a promotional campaign similar to the civ of the week we did for civ3. For now, the only ones we're talking about are the spanish and the mongols.<br />
  [16:10] &lt;kingjoshi> Has the hard coded limit of 84 icons been removed?<br />
  [16:11] &lt;SaphireHawk> uh oh<br />
  [16:11] *** Timeline has [morphed] into "Guest46074"<br />
  [16:11] &lt;+Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS> kingjoshi: yes<br />
  [16:11] &lt;Velikovsky> 6 I smell doom. The shroud of the dark side has descended over us<br />
  [16:11] &lt;maniacalmonkey> will there be any changes to the military AI?<br />
  [16:11] *** ChanServ [ops] gonzo_for_civ<br />
  [16:11] &lt;SaphireHawk> Is it true ythat the Keshik replaces the horseman?<br />
  [16:11] &lt;kingjoshi> Will we be able to give Wonders like bonus to regular city improvements?<br />
  [16:11] &lt;eli_23> Jeff: Are you aware that the hebrews want represantation too in the expansion pack?<br />
  [16:12] &lt;rjgo> israeli's<br />
  [16:12] &lt;rjgo> **<br />
  [16:12] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Maniac: Not much core AI has been changed in PTW. Only things related to new features like airfields.<br />
  [16:12] &lt;TROYAC888> Yes hebres!<br />
  [16:12] &lt;TROYAC888> hebrews<br />
  [16:12] &lt;Question> Timeline<br />
  [16:12] *** Guest3073 has [morphed] into "Father"<br />
  [16:12] &lt;eli_23> hebrews!!!!<br />
  [16:12] &lt;ChrTh> I second SaphireHawk's question<br />
  [16:12] &lt;Question> lol :(<br />
  [16:12] &lt;reeferaddict> can we make the manhatten project a small wonder with the new editor?<br />
  [16:12] &lt;ButSam80> Is there a way we can add a string to each unit for the player to customize? I would like to note my first infantry created, ones who win certain key conflicts, and so on...is there any plan to add a customizable string to name units and/or add information to them?<br />
  [16:12] &lt;hetairoi22> How will the city/unit placement in the editor work?<br />
  [16:12] &lt;@Thunderfall> Just in case you have't noticed: the moderation is off for now.&nbsp;<br />
  [16:12] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Saphire: Keshik replaces knights<br />
  [16:12] &lt;ChrTh> AH<br />
  [16:12] &lt;SaphireHawk> OOOOO<br />
  [16:12] &lt;SaphireHawk> good<br />
  [16:12] &lt;ChrTh> Does Conquistador replace Cavalry?<br />
  [16:12] * @theGreyFox thinks it was better moderated<br />
  [16:13] * philippe-got-kicked seconds that<br />
  [16:13] * Lovro as well<br />
  [16:13] &lt;Ohwell> yeah moderate it<br />
  [16:13] &lt;@theGreyFox> Please, Only questions, no chit-chat<br />
  [16:13] &lt;Zidane16> Will there be any changes to Civs currently in the game?<br />
  [16:13] &lt;Guest11070> Timeline test...<br />
  [16:13] &lt;TROYAC888> Is there going to be a worldmap mad by you guys and can we place the civs where we want them in new patch?<br />
  [16:13] &lt;ButSam80> I second reeferaddict's question: everyone has to develop nukes on their own historically...not all countries still have nukes...many are still developing<br />
  [16:13] &lt;Gramphos> Will it show in the score that a game was a scenario?<br />
  [16:13] &lt;kingjoshi> TheGreyFox: I didn't know how to send you private messages, so this is better for me :)<br />
  [16:13] &lt;rmsharpe> Will it be possible for editor users to modify the level of diplomatic "shrewdness," i.e, weaker Civs will be more inclined to give up more when trading?<br />
  [16:13] &lt;Ohwell> oh no<br />
  [16:13] &lt;maniacalmonkey> There has been talk of dinosaurs - any word on this?<br />
  [16:13] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> ChrTh: Currently, though we're entertaining the idea of part of their unique ability is that they don't replace the unit they replace. Conquistadors are light cavalry, so it seems wierd to block regular cavalry. We'll see<br />
  [16:13] &lt;SaphireHawk> will there be new civ attribute (ie, isolationist, barbaric)<br />
  [16:13] &lt;Citizen_k> too...many...questions...<br />
  [16:13] &lt;zeko> will horseman army be upgradeable?<br />
  [16:14] &lt;Lovro> you can use "/notice &lt;one_of_the_ops> &lt;your question>" to send pm's in java, IIRC<br />
  [16:14] &lt;@theGreyFox> 0401/me 's guess is that more Questions is answered when it's moderated<br />
  [16:14] &lt;Velikovsky> 6 Will there be dinosaurs with rocket packs in the expansion pack?<br />
  [16:14] *** Guest11070 has [morphed] into "test"<br />
  [16:14] *** test has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)<br />
  [16:14] &lt;eli_23> Jeff, the hebrew civilization, are you aware that it should be there?(both historically, and in point of very big fans of civilization)<br />
  [16:14] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Maniac: There will be a dino unit set of around 10 units.<br />
  [16:14] &lt;Ohwell> yeah same here greyfox<br />
  [16:14] &lt;rjgo> where can i download an illegal version of the new game<br />
  [16:14] &lt;Ohwell> moderate it please<br />
  [16:14] &lt;philippe-got-kicked> rjgo!!!!<br />
  [16:14] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Eli: Maybe next expansion<br />
  [16:14] &lt;SaphireHawk> moderate!<br />
  [16:14] &lt;Daniel1494> I have a question... *if it has been answered, sorry in advance ^^;;* When will the new civs be advertised?<br />
  [16:14] &lt;maniacalmonkey> thanks :)<br />
  [16:14] &lt;philippe-got-kicked> kick rjgo<br />
  [16:14] &lt;rjgo> yes<br />
  [16:14] &lt;cracker> Mike or Jeff, can you describe the changes to the military advisor assess military strength and ways this might change behavior.<br />
  [16:14] *** Thunderfall sets [channelmode] +m<br />
  [16:14] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Daniel: Over the coming months, probably one a week up till launch.<br />
  [16:15] &lt;@Thunderfall> rmsharpe: Will it be possible for editor users to modify the level of diplomatic "shrewdness," i.e, weaker Civs will be more inclined to give up more when trading?<br />
  [16:15] *** Jeff has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)<br />
  [16:15] &lt;+Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS> cracker: The advisor now uses a calculation similar to the one used by the AI to assess military strength. Units without attack/defense capabilities will not be counted.<br />
  [16:15] &lt;@theGreyFox> Ohwell: Jeff: Do you plan to make air combat more realistic? Such as fighter sweeps and bomber escourts?<br />
  [16:15] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Cracker: Non-combat units no longer play a role in assessed mil strength. The AI never counted them and we'll make that consistent throughout<br />
  [16:15] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;m_m_x> qustion to jeff "will they change the graphic format in "ptw" for terrain/ cities/resource to support animation,or will they alow us to add new animation events with the editor to the map"<br />
  [16:16] &lt;@theGreyFox> 04PM us to ask Q's<br />
  [16:16] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Ohwell: The impact on AI proved too great to really change airmissions much. Beyond airfields and autobombard, aircombat works pretty much the same as it always did<br />
  [16:16] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;philippe-got-kicked> question:can you tell us more about the dinos we saw in ptw video?<br />
  [16:17] &lt;@theGreyFox> type /notice &lt;OP_Nick> ..Question.. to send it in the Java Progg<br />
  [16:17] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> MMX: The file format remains the same (pcx). Adding new terrain beyond modifying whats there isn't going to be possible in PTW><br />
  [16:17] &lt;@gonzo_for_civ> &lt;mauiduck>'s question: Any thought to making disease amore prominent role in the game? Maybe adding a new specialist healer/doctor to controll it?<br />
  [16:17] *** SaphireHawk has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)<br />
  [16:17] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;reeferaddict> hi will the manahatten pro, be able to be a small wonder?<br />
  [16:17] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Philippe: It was the allosaur.<br />
  [16:17] &lt;@Thunderfall> Hi Javier!<br />
  [16:17] &lt;@PaleHorse76> &lt;Lovro> is owning 2/3 of world land the only condition you need to meet to achieve domination?"<br />
  [16:17] &lt;@theGreyFox> ChrTh: Will the new Civs still choose from the current abilities (Commercial, etc.) or has a new Ability/Abilities been created?<br />
  [16:17] &lt;+Javier_Sobrado_Firaxis> hello<br />
  [16:18] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Lovro: I'm pretty sure population plays in there as well.<br />
  [16:18] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> ChrTh: No new civilization specific abilties in PTW.<br />
  [16:18] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;Daniel1494> Another probably obvious question: What will the Guerilla's stats be, and will it's functions be similar in Civ II?<br />
  [16:18] &lt;@theGreyFox> What do you do in the production Javier?<br />
  [16:18] &lt;+Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS> Lovro: 2/3 of civilian pop. as well<br />
  [16:18] &lt;@PaleHorse76> What MultiPlayer modes will PTW have? TCP/IP, HotSeat, IPX???<br />
  [16:18] &lt;@theGreyFox> IceEye: Can you tell us more about the Viking UU?<br />
  [16:18] &lt;+Javier_Sobrado_Firaxis> I program.<br />
  [16:18] &lt;@PaleHorse76> &lt;ErixTr> Not a question but; we want to see Turkey as a new civ in expansion pack.<br />
  [16:18] &lt;@theGreyFox> ok<br />
  [16:18] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Daniel: Guerilla is a cheaper, weaker, resourceless infantry. We're testing hidden nationality for them, though how the AI handles that will be the big determining factor.<br />
  [16:19] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;Velikovsky> will the foreign advisor screen be cahnged so that you can toggle the 6 other civs for which you can view treaty status?<br />
  [16:19] &lt;@theGreyFox> - Will there be new stack commands for workers (for example for the stack to all work one tile with one command) and units?<br />
  [16:19] &lt;@Thunderfall> Mike, excellent work on the editor! :) It's getting better and better.&nbsp;<br />
  [16:19] *** etb has quit IRC (SENDQ exceeded)<br />
  [16:19] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Vel: You will be able to view existing deals in the foreign. Basically all the info from the 'active' page in the diplowin will be availabel out side.<br />

  [16:19] &lt;+Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS> Thunderfall: Thanks. I fixed the 'm' bug today.<br />
  [16:20] &lt;@theGreyFox> Phillipe: what about making battles more realistic,i mean spearmen win vs tanks...<br />
  [16:20] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;eli_23> Any of you guys pay attention to the request and ideas published in the forum?(amazing ideas there)<br />
  [16:20] *** etb has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)<br />
  [16:20] &lt;@PaleHorse76> &lt;eli_23> If you have to sum it up shortly, what are the main features that make the expansion pact a must buy?<br />
  [16:20] &lt;@Thunderfall> That's great!&nbsp;<br />
  [16:20] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Grey: There is only stack movement, which allows units of different speeds to move together. No stack attack or improve, though both are on the wishlist.<br />
  [16:20] &lt;@theGreyFox> - So, how do you plan to do the Diplomatic win possible in MP?<br />
  [16:20] &lt;+Javier_Sobrado_Firaxis> Veli: you can already toggle the other 6 civs in and out by shift-right clicking on a leader head on the foreign adviser screen<br />
  [16:20] *** etb (~java@206.243.39.Su392=) [joined] #civfanatics.<br />
  [16:20] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Elli: Absolutely, though those ideas are often come up with without regards for our deadlines and resources. It's always interesting reading, frequently useful, but sometimes too late to really be considered.<br />
  [16:21] &lt;@Thunderfall> I am going to ask a few questions of my own: is there a plan to add an option to the editor that let's players play scenarios w/o the shroud?<br />
  [16:21] &lt;+Javier_Sobrado_Firaxis> you just have to swap ones displayed with ones not displayed.<br />
  [16:21] *** Guest54123 (~java@=a5m589466092518.ne.client2.attbi.com) [joined] #civfanatics.<br />
  [16:21] &lt;@Thunderfall> Some scenarios such as WW2 would look weird with the shroud of darkness on, I think.&nbsp;<br />
  [16:21] &lt;+Mike_Breitkreutz_FIRAXIS> Thunderfall: possibly<br />
  [16:21] *** Guest53101 (~java@=Q3b6u78v08.telia.com) [joined] #civfanatics.<br />
  [16:21] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;refferaddict> manhatten pro. can it be a small wonder?<br />
  [16:21] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Right, but is there a way planned that will allow more than the current max number of Civs to be shown?<br />
  [16:21] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Grey: The 'classic' victory conditions will all be in there, but MP is really focused on the shorter meta-games. Winning by any classic victory mode is more that a single play session scenario, something we imagine that fewer people will enjoy.<br />
  [16:22] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Javier?<br />
  [16:22] *** Guest99123 has [morphed] into "nname"<br />
  [16:22] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;m_m_x> jeff/mike:any new religion concepts in "ptw"?(like small religion wonders,city improvements,units.....)<br />
  [16:22] &lt;@PaleHorse76> &lt;Pggar> Will we be able to play with more than 16 civs?<br />

  [16:22] *** Guest54123 has [morphed] into "Endureth"<br />
  [16:22] &lt;@gonzo_for_civ> here's a question from me: will there be a bonus added to modern units such as tanks giving them an automatic victory over ancient units such as spearmen?<br />
  [16:22] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Pggar: The editor will allow I think 32 to play, though how enjoyable that is is debatable.<br />
  [16:22] &lt;@theGreyFox> IceEye: Can you tell us anything more about the Viking UU?<br />
  [16:22] *** Guest77718 (~java@=AZE437v.pppool.de) [joined] #civfanatics.<br />

  [17:24] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;tarpoon> will you be able to change the effect of roads on the production of the terrain (for example give the roads the same production bonus like railroads)?<br />
  [17:25] &lt;+Mike_B_FIRAXIS> TBay: probably not<br />
  [17:25] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;Mithrander> Oh just one more question than I am done, how bout having a land percentage counter to let me know how close I am to domintaion victory????<br />
  [17:25] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;Guest17206> OK, I'll ask once more - can we expect a slower tech rate at higher difficulties? It's really easy to fix. Just adjust tech cost by AI research bonus.<br />
  [17:25] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Mith: High on wishlist.<br />
  [17:25] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;maniacalmonkey> How about army bases that allow you to heal/upgrade ground units (or enable this for fortresses)?<br />
  [17:25] &lt;@PaleHorse76> &lt;Melanic> &lt;Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Mel: The same way the americans do, by constructing wonders. So the Koreans are in. ;)<br />
  [17:25] &lt;@PaleHorse76> LOL<br />

  [17:26] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;chiefP> Can people easily play old-style Civ3 when PTW is installed? Or will they ever want to again?<br />
  [17:26] *** Guest26202 has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)<br />
  [17:26] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> rmsharpe: CFC and 'Poly!<br />
  [17:26] &lt;@Thunderfall> It's probably a good idea to allow players to reject domination victory if they don't want it. :)<br />
  [17:26] &lt;@PaleHorse76> 01,9910Flatlander Fox: 01Will the continuation of games be more viable in Civ 3 MP then Civ 2 MP? Civ 2 MP was notorious for games that would never get past the middle ages due to time constraints. Is Civ 3 faster in turn based mode with 6 people playing?01,99<br />
  [17:26] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;[-ISAK-]> Will we be able to use more than 32 icons for the resources (or is it 34, i forget...)?<br />
  [17:26] *** mauiduck has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)<br />
  [17:26] &lt;@gonzo_for_civ> fionn: will there be naval bases in PTW?<br />
  [17:26] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;Endureth> Could you give occupied fortresses a ZOne of Control to prevent enemy units from simply walking past them. Much like the XOC rules in Alpha Centari.<br />
  [17:27] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Chief: They won't be able to play without the new civs without running the old civ3 exe instead of the PTW one.<br />
  [17:27] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Jeff said Poly, burn him!!! (just kiding. ;))<br />
  [17:27] &lt;+Mike_B_FIRAXIS> chiefP: PTW will not overwrite Civ3 so there's nothing prevening you from playing the original. But I don't see why you'd want to! ;)<br />
  [17:27] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;m_m_x> will we have some major surprises in ptw?.....<br />

  [17:27] &lt;+Mike_B_FIRAXIS> m_m_x: Hopefully<br />
  [17:27] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> mmx: A few, but by the time we ship we'll have talked about most of them.<br />
  [17:27] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Yeah, they didn't wait forever to ask :rolleyes:<br />
  [17:28] &lt;+Mike_B_FIRAXIS> ISAK: yes<br />
  [17:28] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;isufan2006> I don't know if this was ansered so will there be any more special unit sets besides the dinosure one?<br />

  [17:28] &lt;+Mike_B_FIRAXIS> Palehorse: The new meta-game modes as well as turnless mode were created exactly for that purpose.<br />
  [17:29] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Flatlander: Well, you'll have full load save functionality if that's what you mean. If you're looking for a single play session game, forget spacerace and set a victory point cap.<br />
  [17:29] &lt;@gonzo_for_civ> REPEAT: fionn: will there be naval bases in PTW?<br />

  [17:30] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Jeff: On the multiplayer games and how long they take. Isn't the length why the "turnless mode" was put into PTW?<br />
  [17:30] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> isurfan: WW2 and Medieval Japan<br />

  [17:30] &lt;@theGreyFox> balance of ancient vs modern units????<br />
  [17:30] &lt;+Jeffrey_Morris_FIRAXIS> Pale: Turnless isn't any faster than say si-move. It's just faster paced.<br />
  [17:30] &lt;@PaleHorse76> Once again, again: &lt;[-ISAK-]> - Will we be able to directly influence food production using improvements - i.e have a Supermarket that gives +50% food, for example?<br />
  [17:30] &lt;@Thunderfall> &lt;maniacalmonkey> Will you be able to build airbases in another civ's territory and/or negotiate for rights to do so, like an RoP? Will you be able to upgrade air units in an airbase?<br />
  [17:31] &lt;@theGreyFox> &lt;Endureth> Could I get a yes, no or maybe on Formans and Fortress ZOCs?<br />
