Anyone who has sent their armies over a long distance will probably have noticed that: Your units will not move before you press the end-turn button. That of course is mostly a good thing because this way you can change their orders during your turn. However, If they are one square away from their destination but would have movement points left after that, by pressing end-turn you essentially waste a turn for your unit. Right now the only way to help that is to ma

I have similar issues. I really love that game but it didn't last long the last several tries to play it. Here's the end of my debug.err: Debug Message: GFX-THREAD WARNING: Function marked as gfx thread only is being used in a different thread in file: e:\lh-elemental\Kumquat3D\Source\Renderer\Direct3D9\D3D9GFXBuffer.cpp line: 140.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="18" id="3321543"]Reloading after a lost battle, or a random artifact that could be a lot better is game-breaking I think, reloading from the start isn't.[/quote] I think the RNG should initalize with the time when you start a game and save that seed into the savegame. I had only one crash so far, a steam-error. Lost only 1 turn because of that but after reloading and recollecting an item, that I had previously collected, it turned out to be an

I think your post could be taken as very valueable input for the Devs. They probably didn't think about a strategy like that and thus couldn't teach the AI to either handle it or incorporate it themselves.

I think the solution is rather easy and wouldn't require a whole lot of work at all. Just use a multiplier to the Heros stats once you research the Army-size-Techs so the Hero get's something off them too. The multiplier could be as simple as Armysize/Base-Army-Size. So when Armysize is 3, it's 3/3=1 Armysize 4: 4/3 = 1.333 ... Armysize 7: 7/3 = 2.333 This way your Souvereigns and Champions would not lose their special value

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="35" id="3319222"]Game design is always a much bigger effect on how effective computer players are than any sort of theory craft on AI development.[/quote] So true... I've made a mod for Civ 3 to improve the AI without ever touching the actual AI itself. I analyzed what parts of the game the AI has trouble with and changed them. Here's some examples: AI had serious trouble with the corruption and properly fighting it.<br

[quote who="Thormodr" reply="46" id="3318039"]The simplest answer is that humans are naturally inclined towards being jerks. [/quote]Nope. They are not. They are educated to be like that. The natural human is a very social being. He has the ability to feel others emotions by imagining having lived through the same. It's called empathy. But humans are told to be in rivalry with everyone else. If they distrust eachother they are easier to control. The ba

What you've just done is saying that Frogboy is a wise guy and thus his decisions must not be questioned. It is not an actual answer to my question. Or are you trying to tell me that my question is unnecessary because wise decisions don't need an explanation and should be agreed to by anyone without having to know the reason behind them?

I wonder why the city on the bottom is not connected to the road-network. Those mice need to rethink their algorithms!
