[quote]AI is 'just code' yes, but it can take a LOT of time if you make it well[/quote] Just a thought, how AI is GalCiv really? It appears to play the same strategy time & time and doesn't learn from my play (which very predictable!!! :D )

[quote]I think that's more the issue with processing grunt[/quote] Hmm, I don't think so. Shutdown/reload fixes that for a while, which is more like leaks etc. Also, running 1.3 G HZ processor with 384 mb memory.

Piers, I have drengin.net. No real value evident as yet. That will depend on whether political machine & expansion pack don't keep slipping.

[quote]As for how old Nethack is, if I follow the argument it means chess must be a very bad game since it is so much older! [/quote] My argument was that trying to compare nethack graphics is innapropriate, as someone who used to play competitive chess I don't think that about the gameplay/depth of old games.
Great stuff kk! ;) :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:

[quote]The point is I wouldn't want to play a flashy go ot chess with animations when your pawn is killed by a knight. I'd rather play chess with a good ai than chess with good graphics, and it is the same for Galciv.[/quote] I agree. My issue was the selective choice of examples and comparing apples with oranges. For eample, I still play some Civ because, for me, the balance of gameplay was most enjoyable. (Yes I also still enjoy the wonder movies.) The other issue for me is t

[quote]I don't get how using NetHack as an example is criticised, but then WC3 and Homeworld are used as arguments, they're just as different as Galciv is to NetHack!!![/quote] The issue is that nethack is ancient, based on prior gaphics models and available processor capability. I made no comment on WC3 & Homeworld as I have not played them. [quote]If you're going to disagree with someone, at least have half an argument to back it up with... talk about deficient...? [/quote]

[quote]In short, no, it's not really possible. Has it ever been done? No. Not ever. Strategy games either seem to have strategy or eye candy, but not both.[/quote] I am sorry but your knowledge of the gaming world is deficient. I suggest before making making such blanket statements you spend some time doing some research.
