Gameplay always trumps realism

There are various unscrupulous tools one may employ to unlock achievements which I do not recommend you use. If you do, I will relish mocking you on teh Steam VAC Discussion Hub.
Seriously try a Windows System Restore point Otherwise if you're getting that level of corruption, a format is likely your only option.

I think functionally it's more to prevent the 'lets send all our ships around our homeworld to make it lterally impossible for anyone to launch a ground assault' Sure you can always out produce the opponent. but is it really fun to have to spend turn after turn pumping out and sending ships to the 'final' home world in a MP game just because your friend is trying to troll you?

I'm not sure what the fuss is about? I mean Civ games have always had 'eras' and that's worked out fairly ok for that series.
I'd honestly try for a system restore point. If things like the control panel are dying something is veyr veyr very wrong with your system at its core.
I think that's always a problem For example in Civ5 a lot of people were complaining that "I want Civ4 but in 3D" Sort of the irony in that is, all the recent 'HD' versions of older games (Age of Empires 2, etc) has been met with "This should have been a patch to the original and not a new game" So a lot of times people 'say' one thing but then don't actually want what they say Also from a game dev standpoint, no one wants to 'make t
They're sending out batches of keys every Monday. So you'll have to see if you make the next "batch". note that it's a prototype. So if you thought the Galciv3 alpha was "rough around the edges", this is likely more along the lines of "a barbed wire fence laced with cobra venom". Keep your expectations in check.
[quote who="Schaefespeare" reply="74" id="3480519"] I was just trying to point out to everyone that the game is very much in early Alpha stage therefore it should be easier to make changes now rather than when it gets to beta stage.[/quote] If you are suggesting they rip out hexes for squares that is not a 'minor' thing.

[quote who="jprcompain" reply="1" id="3479928"] - as it is alpha test, and if I recall well how it is in other games (Diablo3, Word of Tanks, Hearts of Iron/Europa Universalis, ...), it is not welcome to upload images/printscreens on public servers (ex. imageshack, ..). Can you open a storage space and feature in your forum for uploading debug printscreens directly on to your own servers? [/quote] The devs don't mind if you post videos/pictures but you can't us
And again Minefields make ZERO sense in 3D space. That would be like having minefields on Earth when warfare is being fought by jetpacks and hover tanks. Conceptually the only thing that makes sense is to have star bases exhibit zones of control that gave passive bonuses or could attack. If you're trying to use minefields as an area of denial concept you have the same issues as roads do in Civ. You'd simply put them EVERYWHERE. At which point they have almost n

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="5" id="3479812"] I built my PC in 2009. Still running great. i7 860 8GB RAM GTX 260 I don't see any reason to upgrade for the next couple of years. [/quote] You'd better start plannig to upgrade your video card. Because teh DX11 train has left the station and you'd better be on board.
Dunno I usually try to keep a lot of core components the same (mobo/cpu) while upgrading my memory and GPU up until ti's practical. I generally upgrade when the next memory cycle comes around. Though I suspect a lot of DX10 hold outs will need to upgrade to DX11 as that becomes more and more mainstream.
Here's the thing Even with game that have 3d strategic maps, you are still fundamentally limited to 'lanes' Ergo the question becomes: What do you GAIN from a 3D strategic map, vs what do you LOSE with it? to me the issue is that adding the 3rd dimension doesn't really add that much to a game, given that you're always going to limit travel via arbitrary 'lanes'. I consider these to be more like 2.5D Why do designers do this? Because

I think the problem is that the crash reporting mechanism only works on 32-bit aps :(
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="20" id="3477825"] Regional pricing should be and have been already successfully attacked at courts (at least in case of STEAM on EU territory). I consider it to be a totally unlawful practice. [/quote] I'm not sure what 'court' you are referring to unless it's a kangaroo court in your back yard. You may be new to this but Steam didn't invent regional pricing. Shocking isn't it. In fact before Steam you

Awesome news ^o^
Well it looks like the future is coming sooner than expected. Games requiring DX11 is on the rise. Though unfortunately, the amount of whining about this requirement is staggering. 64-bit uptake is a bit slower. Some have options for both. Even fewer are 64-bit only. Though given that 32-bit OS share on Steam's hardware survey, is close to dropping below 10% it could be time to switch.

[quote who="tjashen" reply="16" id="3475704"] There are too many cases when a game comes out with a new patch that ends up breaking some feature I liked, so staying with an 'older' version until everyone else gives the 'all clear' via a lack of 'game is now broken' posts is something I do.p.[quote] While this does happen Id say 'too many cases' is a bit of a stretch.
