[quote who="Kantok" reply="114" id="3271231"] Quoting charon2112, reply 110Forgive my ignorance, but what's a stamp? Stamps are pre-designed chunks of a map. Think of the Wildlands. The random map generator uses stamps to build the random map. So more stamps means you have more possible combinations for your random maps. [/quote] THAT I would support! Thanks for clearing that up.

I'd be open to DLC that expanded factions, etc...but not maps. Part of the fun for me with a TBS 4X is the randomly generated map. Different every time. :)

[quote who="Nick-Danger" reply="72" id="3270540"] Quoting sweatyboatman, reply 50...The tipper in this case is the complaints about randomness and luck. Randomness and luck have no place in the world of the veteran MP gamer. Everything is deterministic. Do thing A, followed by thing B, followed by thing C and if your opponent doesn't do D and E, you win! Which is why it's a breeze to program scripted & braindead AIs for such games. FE is dis

[quote who="sweatyboatman" reply="50" id="3269779"]For the most part whenever I see someone complaining about "balance" I know just what kind of criticism the game is in for. It's the veteran MP gamer. It's not too surprising, since most games these days are built and targeted at the dedicated MP gamer. And most online game forums are filled with the same. This gamer is the kind of person who has been trained by years of MP gaming to find the "best strateg

[quote who="Jafo" reply="522" id="3269701"]One of 'the rules' of Stardock's forums is social tolerance, without discrimination or prejudice. There are 'organized groups' of people who are particularly unwelcome....[KKK for one], but fan[club]s of kids' cartoons are not an issue.

After more thought, I'm starting to be okay with this. It's kind of like the setting in Galciv2 where you can choose how abundant colonizable planets are.

Essentially every complaint in this thread about Steam involves something that isn't true...intrusive DRM, Steam controlling when, how you play, etc...Steam is quite simply the best, cleanest, most efficient DD service I've used. The only one I liked better was SD owned Impulse. But that's history unfortunately.
