[quote who="michaelwhittaker" reply="23" id="3415452"] According to my astronomy teacher given the conditions that make a earthlike planet. Mainly things like our moon and things like saturn and Jupiter. Our near circular orbits. Thats just a few out of fifteen conditions that make our planet the way it is. It really the difference based on modern knowledge of astronomy and wishful thinking. Oh I can find the conditions, but I'm not smart enough to crunch the numbers. Most of these

[quote who="Victor5" reply="53" id="3376573"] @GFireflyE: I feel your pain in regards to Steam. Fortunately, I have had literally 0 Steam-related problems while installing/updating/playing LH. But other games on the other hand... another story completely. I could barely play Skyrim through Steam whatsoever (which their EULA states you "must" do to play). After finding an illegal cracked executable to run a game I purchased legally, it ran like a breeze

It really should be addressed. A possible fix is to allow exiting the leveling screen without spending points. Another possible fix is to give repeatable selections at the end of the trait trees, similar to the final research options in the tech trees.

[quote who="Mmrnmhrm" reply="66" id="3350491"] Quoting Phaedyme, reply 57 I think it is reasonable to expect support for games, and expect announced patches to be released. It's not undeserved entitlement to want updates and fixes for games one has paid for. The notion that purchasing a product doesn't entitle one to customer service is actually utterly bizarre to me. However, I do not think this means that customers are entitled to be abusive jerks toward anyon

[quote who="NiknudStunod" reply="59" id="3350339"] I would like to transport you back to the early to mid 90's. You didn't have day one patches because games were tested and released when they were ready not when the publishers wanted them out. Games didn't ship bug free but they didn't ship in the broken state a large majority of games of today do. I can tell you I am unimpressed with your attitude and dismissal of a person disappointmen

I wouldn't pay two points for AM with all those limitations, or even with some of them. A higher up front mana cost is probably the only change that doesn't create an unnecessary difference between AMs and outposts or cripple AM utility, I am not sure how early you mean. A couple of cities set up as you describe would probably mean enough mana to create one AM every 5-6 turns, which I guess might only be spammy if compared to the rate other civs can turn out outposts,

The upkeep cost goes too far the other way and makes them effectively worthless. Who'd pay two points for a trait that, if you actually use it, would cripple your early game mana?

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="124" id="3349366"] Direct distance isn't a very good indicator because it fails to take things like mountains and lakes into account. 2 cities may be close but separated by a mountain range, and it may make sense to use existing roads between them rather than create a new one. "Make sense" may be the wrong term. The hangup is in finding the balance between to few roads and missing some roads in some situations where players want

Complaints and criticisms are fine. Where I think the OP lost the plot was turning it into some kind of victimization/abandonment scenario where Stardock employees were deliberately snubbing him.
