Around 9 months ago I ran a windows update and my RAID was destroyed causing me to rebuild 7 from scratch. Except for the multi and DX in 10 7 is just fine and am not loosing that install disk.
NoScript is a must. Everyone wants a piece of your bandwidth.
When they update all your changes may disappear. If it was a mod then you would not care about what the update changes. 1924
Your idea of a food trade route sounds nice.
I am one food away from building a city linked to farm and hydro. If I could buy 1 food (a resource) then I could grow.
Is there a way to group the civs on the creation screen so I can easily make a game as a certain character. Some times I have to hunt for the civ I want to play and with over 240 civs...
Dont wast your time. This game does fine as a SP TBS and unless there is BIG economic benefit or the difference between SP and limited MP capabilities, so friends can play; it will not change fast. Patience seems to be the key and in our world it continues to dwindle.
I wish MODing could add LAN and PBEM but the changes needed would infringe on copyright.
I have patience. On missing out. I have played the demo and as a SP TBS for space it is nice but without social interaction I see no reason to buy it.
If you like Alpha Centuri talk to me for we are making a MOD for CIV (C4:AC) so we can do our AC stuff with an updated program. Also to help you look for people go to Apolyton.net. There is also lots of GC stuff there.
MMO is Masive Multiplayer Online. An example could be Anarch Online or Everquest. Basically you log onto a server and play. PPL seem to want the ability to setup LANs, PBEMs, IPs and Hotseat without the problems that come with MMOs To do these things the computer used is the one that needs the software; No server needed.
I beleive people dont want MMO stuff. Hours is nothing A PBEM game can go for a year or two easy.
Exactly. One uses GC as a medium for social interaction. We dont lock ourselves in a closet.
Hear Hear. Just straight forward, not this lets make a totally different game for MP.
C4:AC is already in progress of creation. Arn't MODs great. We want the smac/x experience that we can PBEM and LAN, not Masive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.
Are you thinking TBS or MMORPG?
Unfortunatly it seems the idiots and School Kids will not go away so you learn who is good to set up a PBEM with.
4x games evolved from Chess and Checkers etc. Where are the 16th century AIs.
What is it with this sacrafice SP stuff. We have gone over what we care about in previous posts. In a nut shell we want SP with the ability to LAN, Hotseat, PBEM and IP if posible. Cuttiing anything is not an option.
And there is your want for a TBSMP update; no full MP is wanted. People seem to want to play with family and friends who will have to buy the game and update.
You ask why have MP. Look at how society works. In short people like to play other people some time and by themselves some of the time. Human interaction is the key. Interacting with machines is relaxing at times but the human psyche thrives on human contact. Just look at history and how long do you want the game to last. Another coment is always talking about MP. I see two basic types of MP for this game. The Full MP that will mess it up an
Most of the talk now is beating a dead horse. GCII is SP. We want some sort of MP expansion that is sold seperatly. GC will draw others for the posibilities is what has me checking here instead of only doing my SMAC and Civ4 diplo stuff. Another problem talked about is time.. It depends on what type of MP game you are talking about. Mine are PBEM and takes apx 15 min total a day. LAN Parties and IP can be scheduled. Different people relax and congregate dif
