Beta 4 - as currently build stuffs up every time I use pillar of flame to defend oncoming armies. In the meantime I finish reading "Wool" which is simply the best book I have read in a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wool_(series)
and a simple timer to let you know how log you need to hang on for
for me Civ went downhill after Civ 2. That was the version I had most fun with. I hate HATE the cartoon style of the later civs. Why couldn't we have more serious looking avatars for the leaders? Such a turn off.
Well here is hoping directors cut with an extra xx minutes of film will clear that up :)
I read the article mentioned above http://cavalorn.livejournal.com/584135.html#cutid1 Shame that this line of thought was not put into the movie in a more overt manner, it would have improved ti. As it is the movie is a jumble. It is a shame I was hoping it would become a classic like Alien and Aliens.
The movie was OK. Visually it was awesome. The story was terrible. It just didn't make sense it was shallow and lacked realism. Seriously you fly to the other side of the galaxy with a bunch of scientists but the whole scientific methods gets left behind on earth as they run into unknown pyramid and start messing with things without documenting anything or testing anything. They spent trillions of dollars getting people out there and they decide to go with a
Thanks, watched (skipped) through the videos. They were worth watching.
I hope this gets fixed very soon as it is a major problem in my current game.
The game keeps getting better. I just finished my first game with 0.915 and it was awesome. The factions were more present, they initiated contact with me to trade. The factions now feel different from one another. I had a great time.
@Kamamura_CZ completely agree. Refusing to talk is just rude, there should be a way to uni-laterally null and void any treaties you have and go to war. I spent ages trying to get into contact with a faction I needed to go to war with, they refused to talk and my armies just sat there idle.
I am loving these suggestions. I will have to give them a go tonight when I get home. :) The game is in beta and I expect that it will continue to change however, I feel it is important that there is also feedback from players who aren't hardcore. I play to have fun and want a certain level of challenge. At the moment I feel that, even on easy levels, you need to balance everything just right in order to get beyond a certain point.
Hi Tuidjy I will check out you AA report. Usually what I do is: 1. build two pioneers (to either create outposts or cities if possible) 2. Keep my Sov by himself to run around collecting everything in sight and maybe unlock one champ. 3. the champ does same thing on their own 4. build to grow my city</s
Since 0.913 the game has been getting more difficult to play. I used to play on "normal" now I getting steamrolled on easy. I am finding it impossible in most games to create more than one city as there is no where to build. The strong monsters keep me pinned into a small area. However, enemy factions seem to build outposts right next door to strong monster lairs without any problems. SO they obviously do not suffer from same restrictions. With just one city I cannot ge

Good post. I hope developers read these ideas and that they do address some of the concerns regarding the current magic system.

Some people haven't understood the question. They read it as I pay $39 for SP or $40 for SP+MP. I don't mind paying a $1. However, if you read it as I paid $39 for the SP and now there is a separate DLC for just $1 would you bother with the hassle of paying and downloading? What I am seeing is that most people wouldn't bother. I certainly wouldn't bother.
5.9MB bmp? Could you not have converted to jpg before uploading? he does have a lot of greaves however

I don't want to see a change. Most pioneers are used to build outposts as you can't create cities just about anywhere. BTW It would be nice to have spells to revitalise the land so that you could build more cities but that is an aside. I have no problem making pioneers cost some money in wages.
I really enjoyed the dynasty aspect of WoM. Being able to use your offspring in arranged marriages was cool in diplomacy.
to = too
Exciting to see regular updates based on bugs and issues sent in. :) I love being part of the beta process.
Well I was referring to civ 5 only. Alpha centauri is one of my fave games of all time.
I don't see why it is to late to spice up the start. Faction differentiation is likely to still continue - that will help. It may also help knowing the significance of various game elements. For example it is still unclear how food and materials impact the game. I always seem to have enough so it doesn't feel like I need to pay much attention to these resources. I find the start of Civ 5 also quite dull, so maybe it is a function of the game genre.
Agreed, more surprises at the start would be good. Cool heroes, monsters, goodies. But also more differentiation between factions will help so that starting as a different faction requires changes in approach etc At the end of the gamne it would be good to be able to ask allied or otherwise subservient AIs to surrender or accept you as overlord.
Just like to say I am loving the midgame section. The exploration, the dueling with other nations, the fighting of monsters etc is just awesome. For me it has the one-more-turn quality I am looking for. I played a game this weekend and completely neglected my family as I explored and plundered my way across the world as Tarth. Starting a new game however, is a chore and pretty dull. It is always the same ( or at least very similar), same choices same frustrations.
I have seen these roadblocks also and the enemy AI does not cope well. When you finally go to war with them you find that one cell has multiple armies occupying it. On that note I have also found that enemy AI will have multiple units on the same cell but they aren't in the same army. So you destroy a "spear unit" only to find it is still occupied by a pioneer, destroy that. ONly to find it is still occupied by a small 3 unit army, only to find the cell still
