[quote who="viper34j" reply="2" id="2681406"]I like the idea of not knowing which shards you will have at the beginning of the game. The last thing I want is a typical TBS game where doing "ABC" will give you "XYZ" only to find out that "ABC" isn't as good as "ABD" and that you're the only noob that doesn't know that. I think the game should be decided based on who is able to cope with their situations better, now who knows the best string of actions to execute. [/quote]

[quote who="WaitingOnTheGame" reply="4" id="2681325"]Thanks for the answers Raven, though actually I asked my brother last night and got the same answer(he made me feel like it was a dumb question). As far as how someone chooses to play a game, I really don't think its anyone's business. I dunno why I do it, makes me feel powerful I guess. Like even normally, its pretty easy to win civ, even on the higher difficulties. However missing out on thing bugs me. I like t

There will be multiplayer but the game is not going to be balanced for it if it takes away an inkling from the single player solo experience. I personally can't wait for all the MPer whines when the game is released and this and that isn't in their favor. lol I love a game company that doesn't cater to the multiplayer crowd who does nothing but scream balance balance balance. I hope the game is lopsided as hell in the single player game and there are factions that can be more powerful than th

[quote who="sjwt" reply="31" id="2681748"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 3 I'm with BlackhatHedgehog on much of this. Each city costs more to build than the next. It's just that you start with so much $$. I popped it up to 1000 to start to give myself a little extra time to start doing a proper job on the balancing of the cities because, the economic buildup is ridiculously slow right now. There won't be a "tax" system per say. Inst

[quote who="novagenesis" reply="52" id="2681154"]Well that's a good point. Torch and Burn. Probably the worst possible atrocity. Your allies turn on you. Your followers question you. In a desert, poisoning wells is considered truly wrong. In a wasteland, the same can be said of burning food.

Ahhh this was my favorite thread before I left and everybody LOVED me here. Looks like I was pretty much righton with my suggestions and ideas afterall. Turtling will be crushed by lack of food. Good job Brad. Lots of different ways to win besides conquer....good good good I suggested that one. Multiplayer is not going to influence the way the single player game is going to be built....good good great! There will be a spell of making...good good just as I wished. Ahhhh feels good to be

I agree it's going to lead to torch and burn strategy. Just run in torch the crops and run away. Wonder what little units will be best for this strategy? Something invisible and fast? BTW does this one have any multilayer maps like Age of Wonders Shadow Magic? or even Master of Magics ethereal realm? Magic Roads? stuff like that?

[quote] Member No.3,557,854 Karma+21 July 10, 2010 5:49:42 PM well, the multiplayer component of the game is already suffering because of single-player. [/quote] Well that's excellent to my ears. I'm glad Brad is living up to his promise because I want a well thought out single player experience and couldn't care less about a MP element at all. He could have left it out like he did for GC & GC2 for all I cared. Good job Bra

[quote] Otherwise multi-player at least will be full of plate armour wearing, broadsword carrying sovereigns.[/quote] You must remember Brad said that this game wasn't going to cater to multiplayer whatsoever so it really doesn't matter what happens in multiplayer as it's the single player game that is most important and major balance isn't required (if you ever played MOM you'd know why). Games that are not balanced for multiplayer make the best solo single player
