That's a good point - the trigger doesn't have to be a unit moving though. The point I'd like to emphasise is that if an L1 road arises organically in response to the player's playstyle, the map will look more 'real' and be more satisfying than a series of roads to nowhere based on what seemed like a good strategy in turn 50 - or blanket road coverage, civ-style. I have no doubt there's a good trigger that could be found for this. I think the characteristics of a good trigger wou

This is looking great, and there are some fantastic suggestions coming out of the community. Heres my HK$0.02: Roads : Several levels of road. Automatic roads that are triggered by some sensible criterion are too good and too simple an idea to pass up because they aren't really random; they are an organic response to the player's play-style in practice. This pays a huge dividend in terms of immersion, fun and emergent storytelling. I agree with other posters that

Thirded - same problem here. I too am a bit surprised not to be able to find a bug report function anywhere in the Impulse client. Come on Stardock!

What a splendid thread. Mightygoobi and Zydor, you are among the most articulate posters I have seen on the net; thank you both for filling a few quiet minutes at work with a great deal of pleasure.

Reply to Is there any Asian clans have been built? in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

In the UK now but will be in Hong Kong from Sep/Oct. I'd be interested in a regular English/CN speaking game that works in these timezones. Probably has to be a weekend thing though.

Open Letter - How I enjoy games in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

After skimming the boards occasionally last year, I was motivated to give some free market research now I'm back at the computer. With me as the subject. At least, that's my excuse for inflicting my opinions on the community! So, an open letter to the team. The business model where we pay you up front and you give us access to each working build of the game as it becomes available works really, really well. So well that it's amazing others haven't copied it. When I p
