I told you all ntino was a troll a long time ago and you're still FEEDING him? lol He played one game (and didn't even finish it mind you) and now he's an EXPERT on what's wrong with the game and how out of balance it is etc. etc. lmao. I guess we need posters like this for a little LAUGH from time to time but basically they are to be IGNORED and NOT FED. ;)
[quote quoting="post"]Verga captured one of my cities and razed it the very same turn, denying me the chance to re-capture or re-build it. [/quote] As well it should. The best way to beat a humaaan player for the AI is to raze his/her cities upon capture! WAD Keep up the good work Brad et al.

[quote who="Okimosy" reply="390" id="3266713"]I hated steam when it first came out and tried to avoid it for as long as i could. It bugged on my PC pretty often resulting in WIN reinstallation. I hated it when the new games like CivV started to come out only via Steam, but i quickly changed my mind and began an excessive Steam user nowadays. The thing with Steam that pleases me the most is its recent price policy that depends on your region. It allows me to buy games here in Russia
[quote who="kaiapo" reply="31" id="3267001"]So easy to be a troll these days. [/quote] Yes, because MOSTs definition of Trolling is when you don't agree with the person you're calling a troll. lol I've never seen troll so misused. The new definition is: If you don't agree with me then you are a troll. If I don't agree with you then you are a troll. If you say anything against what I think then you are a troll. lol

I'm sorry, I'm not religious, so I didn't know that religious rules transferred into what your game characters do.

I've read horror stories of Steam banning accounts and thus the buyer/customer loses ALL Of his games he BOUGHT and PAID for. Yeah I know games are merely licensed these days but that crap wouldn't hold up in a real court if it got down to it. There's consumers rights above and beyond EULA&#
Well, I'm not satisfied yet. ;) I want an Ancients game made by Stardock et al. Starting with the birth of ROME into the FALL of ROME. I want colorful pewter looking counters written to the PC of course. :) I want the best AI possible, nooo I DEMAND the BEST AI possible. Slitherine tried but they failed miserably. KOIOS Works started but didn't finish and all we got were a few scenarios with some colorful terrain and units. Rome 2 Total War is coming but somehow I just don't

@DeadlyJulia: If you haven't already played you should find a copy of Warlords IV and get the 1.04 or 1.05 update. It has one of the hardest ai's I've seen in awhile and Prince difficulty and above it will literally massacre you without a heavy retinue of leaders. (You can save and carry over 3 leaders per game max). I eventually had to start out less than Prince to build up my retinue of Leaders that I could eventually deal with the AI of the higher difficulties. It was quite cha

One little AI that was superb in its day came from a liittle game called "War of the Lance". If developers could/would take a look at that they would see a sweeping AI that not only knows how to play but knows how to use its overpowering resources to give the player and overwhelming game of challenge and joy. Even on normal settings it was hard to beat it. Medieval Total War origional and more recently Shogun 2 Total War have brought some of this fun type of AI back to gaming. It's

I came here to ask why the AI lets me be, becuase THIS is making the game not challenging for me. I fi can play for days without getting attacked, where is the fun? So Tuidjy and others clarified this questions, and together with my screenshots we could solve the issue. W

One thing about a save scummer though they will always make excuses to justify their cheating themselves. Xia is correct though as long as you're cheating yourself it doesn't matter except when you come to the forums and proclaim the game too easy because you cheat. (save/reload) and want the developers to make the game more challenging while you cheat. lol that ain't gonna happen evah I don't think.

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="14" id="3262448"]No, according to my steam it is at number 18 not 8. 7 out of 10 is not pretty darn good. 7 out of 10 is just okay in my opinion. 8 out of 10 is good, 9 out of 10 is great and 10 out of 10 is amazing.

It's for those interested in the genre and possibly a fanboi of the developer/publisher. 8+ games are usually t

Man they really should take that card out of Magic the Gathering (Rose Tinted Glasses) because fanbois use it too. :{P Games are reviewed based on what the game delivers NOT on expansions or possible modding in the future. FE is getting what FE is showing the reviewers and fanbois don't get to decide what should be in those reviews. Reviews are suppose to be objective and non-biased and show everything about the game including what is "wrong" with it. If the game is released

Since there are no review scores on it save user reviews that list is for the top 10 sellers recently. Not the top 10 games of all time or anything close. Since there aren't many games of any decent quality to pick from this month that's not saying much being # 7 or #5. User scores even on Gamespot are still in the low 70's and that's just not very good so far. Metacritic even hit 69 for user score and only 1 socallled pro review was up.

Yeah what's he whinning about? Everybody knows the AI CHEATS at higher difficulties than Challenging. That's just standard AI above average in just about all games now.
