Recently played a game where a bee plot was not linked to any of the three cities around it and it should be. I mean, it might be correct according to game rules, but I feel it would be a bit too much to require a city be buitl just for it. Saved game: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8971392/notlinked.EleSav

[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="318" id="2790136"] I dont cover myself in TP's and i am always swimming in gold but a friend of mine (we play MP) has the same problem as you. We are not sure yet what breaks the economy. Some things i watch out for: - Get Gold Mines, Diamonds, Pearls (obvious) - Always create trade routes to your cities - Never have more building upkeep then your citiy produces in gold. I always stay at least at +5 Go

Curious. For those of you who have played at least a few games of Civ IV...is it my lack of skill(despite years of playing tons of Civ5 and similar games) or do you need to cover your territory in trade posts to have any sort of economy that isn't crushingly negative?

I attempted to use the air elemental's ability on a 'group' of psions during combat. Game crashed, but not to desk top(had to ctrl-alt-del task manager start).

[quote who="econundrum1" reply="1" id="2774454"]It's not a major bug bear for me really, but yes I do think their are too many one only or one per civilization buildings and not enough general improvements overall. [/quote] I really would like to see more money making/tool making buildings or reducing the amount required to build troops. The AI is always at least 1000 pts higher than me for a non-aggression pact because I never have enough gold/tools to keep up

Am I the only one frustrated/annoyed that many techs provide a building that can only be built in a single town? It seems like there's more world and national "wonders" than city buildings. It'd be nice for a lot more variety in available buildings.

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="30" id="2764642"] Quoting TheBirthdayParty, reply 26 Shrug, so shifting blame around? Doesn't help the situation or future purchases or recommendations of games. Wheres the blame shifting? I think it occured by flaming Stardock for actions outside their sphere of influence. Stardock doesn't ship the games. They have no control over shipping operations.

[quote who="psychoak" reply="22" id="2764555"]The 2-3 versus 5-7 is someone using priority estimates when they're shipping them media mail. Stupid, but not exactly world ending. It's a pretty small box, and USPS loses a lot of small boxes. They end up in corners and between machinery. You're slightly dramatic at this stage, perhaps a chill pill? I could see getting excited over it if you didn't already have the game digitally, but it's a po

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="23" id="2764557"] Quoting TheBirthdayParty, reply 17 Well blame depends. Who gets most of the money from my pre-order? I think people have a reason to be upset. I just wanted to highlight the fact that shipping errors are not of Stardocks doing. And the info they get on whats been shipped is provided to them by the fulfillment vendor. They don't have direct control over any

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="16" id="2764444"]That really sucks. But you should know that Stardock, like many (most?) companies use a Fulfillment vendor to manufacture, assemble, and ship their product to the end user. This is a third party company with no relation to Stardock services. Stardock is a customer. They pay the fulfillment center to burn the CDs, package the games, send the product to the user, and more. Clearly something has
