[quote]In Elemental, the pre-canned text will NOT be silly (except some in the beta). There will be an official announcement about this in fact at GDC.[/quote] aw thats a bit sad...i love the funny stuff, it was nice and subtle in gc2, more of an offer than a direction...I mean, it was necessary to engage with it. Anyways, whatever inspires the team is good.

[quote]The combination of "we want to avoid workers" and "we want more depth than roads just appearing" suggests to me that the problem with the worker system is the micromanagement. Road-building workers are to Civilization what peons are to RTS games, and people do tend to prefer post-peon resource management [/quote]aye, nice yep excellent post, workers begone...you clog up the joint. I say click and drag and get a research/logistics time frame depending on the terrain/treasury.</

Need way more evidence than that, but given your method of problem solving worked within 10mins, I would say your looking good for not stupid.

[quote]Stardock hasn't really cracked the top 100 of the best games in the past few years, let alone longer than that.[/quote] I'm not sure some journalists opinion counts for much more than activating peoples sense of competition...its a quality not quantity equation. The extraction of meaning from such lists is pretty much just a failure of the imagination. [quote]Your "reality" is obviously seriously flawed in this case.[/quote] I'm not sure if such a thing is possi

[quote]Which might have been a problem....had MOO3 been worth the cardboard the box was made out of[/quote] nah I don't see it. I mean I only bought civ in the end because gc2 was so damn amazing...I say they are islands of quality in an ocean of mario versus sonic

[quote]No. Eventually Australia will create an army of Genetically enhanced Kangaroos and kill everything... Then we'll have a bbq to celebrate![/quote] Criminy! I hope we won't be grilling up the genetically enhanced roos, that could turn real ugly.

I wouldn't get upset about it...it's actually quite an interesting phenomenon. It can also be really helpful to discern which programs actually succeed in causing a reaction in your territorial circuits. There's a fantastic film about similar themes actually : Pontypool. Check it out, best thing I saw last year.

[quote]What would make this easier is if you could get multiple players at the table at once. In 99% of game with any kind of diplomacy, when you talk to another player, its one on one. If we could get some kind of multi-person bargaining table this could be pretty easy.[/quote] It is the future you see...what do you think Stardock? Factional Trade options? Good guys, bad guys, style of gov guys, rich guys, poor guys, no homerz guys. 4x would never be the same.

[quote]For example, instead of only having the option to ask civ x to declare war on civ y (which the AI always refuses in cases like above) there could be an option to team up against civ x. This could also be linked wider to alignment (option to propose that all good civs go against the big evil one), to religion (all of the true faith go against the heretics), to race (all humans against the fallen) etc. [/quote] Not bad Gorgon...not bad at all

[quote]Have you received your orders yet? Mine make no sense, "Buy more Harry Potter paraphernalia".[/quote] Apparently all I'm supposed to do is worry about bushfires and the welfare of national sports teams...oh but theres some snow thing coming up that I'm supposed to remember stuff about...and interest free...something about that to...

[quote]Let me try an analogy. If you try to make a movie from one characters point of view, and then try to make the same movie from a different characters point of view, you aren't going to be able to use all the same footage that you had. You are almost certainly going to have to work twice as hard, because really you are making two movies. I'm not sure I'm making sense, but I believe that there is a sacrifice to be made if you try to give a fundamental choice like that.[/quote]<

[quote]I hate DLC. Its too small. I don't like a little chunk of a game at a time, I like the whole thing in one big fat sexy play through. Thats why I have done 3+ full BG plays, thats BG, TotSC, BGII and ToB - seamless.[/quote] Right with you there...had to quote you as well just to bow humbly at your 3+ play throughs of all 3...legend About Dragon Age, apparently I got some sort of armour or something with my purchase but I never looked into it, I just couldn't be bothered
