Reply to AI ruining the game? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="31" id="3260583"]Keep in mind, from the AI's point of view, the humans are ruining the game. [/quote] LMAO sooooo true Froggy. Love that ^ quote. I really am so sic n tired of complainers and whiners and boo hoo-ers complaining about the "difficulty" of the AI. L2P and it will be a better game. The AI in Civilization games CHEATS more than this AI and you don't see players whinning about that! Please do not change anything about how the AI pla

Reply to Monsters not attacking AI? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I cannot believe my eyes about this "crying" because a monster attacked your cities. We get enough games where the AI is passive. We get enough games where the AI eliminates "itself". It's about time we got a game where the AI is randomized and we don't know what it's going to do to us or the other AI. Bravo for well coding a decent AI. Quit the dang complaining about the AI when it's challenging and hard. Go find something else to cry about but not the hard AI.

Reply to Question on the AIs attitude towards the player in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Fistalis" reply="3" id="3259373"]In my experience there is no peace. One AI will inevitably declare war on you, and have 80% of the other AI friended on facebook so they declare war as well. Even if they are weaker than you they will jump in and it ends up being you vs most of the AI. Doesn't really matter how friendly you think you are.. the AI is always better friends with the AI. This is one of my biggest complaints so far. <br

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="12" id="3258853"]Taking the average review is such a poor system in general. First off it is a volunteer statistical poll and these are inherently biased as the only people that are going to post a review or reply are those that have a strong opinion to begin with or have some incentive to do so. Once you get through the zealotus crowd of reviewers (a.k.a. the angry or pationate viewers of the item) the poll is skewed away from the objective reviewers. Sifting

Reply to Reading Player Reviews in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Those that take the time to write a review are what I tend to look for and their scores matter most. If you go back and look at reviews of say SPORE and more recently DIABLO III you can see the customer base was very angry about something. Does this mean the overall game is bad? Well in the case of Diablo III it did because Diablo III from my own playing was just a candy wrapper of Diablo II's goodie. The story felt very much the same, the areas of play were very much the same

Reply to I Don't Like your Update/Patch System using Stardock Central in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah see that's another good point. I might not like patch 1.XX and want to play with an older patch 1.X.1, but, I can't do this once I've updated through Stardock Central. See. So, they should go back to the OLD way and just let us PICK our patches instead of all this forcing BS.

I Don't Like your Update/Patch System using Stardock Central in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've never had so much hassle in my life trying to get updates/patches. First you gotta download Stardock Central (on dialup that takes a long time) then when it finally finishes and you install it and logon you gotta download a GD patch for Stardock Central (another long waiting period for this bs) Then You gotta logon with the "correct" email address you used when you registered the game(s). Well I use a LOT of email addresses and I caN't remember which ones I used to register what. It took me

Reply to Becoming bored with Galciv, what will make it interesting again? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I like Alpha Centauri's teching up much better. You pick a "catagory" not an actual tech to spec. You might get what you want and you might have to tech it several times to get it. Blind teching is the most fun and Alpha Centauri gives the players the "option" to use blind teching or specific teching. I prefer to play blind teching myself. If I recall Master of Orion II had some simularities to blind teching as well. Think I'll go play some Alpha Centauri now. <img src="http://images.stardock.co

Reply to Simcity 5 is coming out! in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I'd rather play Capitalism III (Or II which I have) than any Sim City. Just not enough to do except lay roads and land and piddle with city employees who complain about everything you do. You guys want a real test of metal in a business sense play Capitalism II, that's a game with real meat. My other favorite business simulation is/was Industry Giant II, but, unfortunately it doesn't work on newer video cards and that means having to play it on another system or changing out my video card everyt

Reply to Becoming bored with Galciv, what will make it interesting again? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Where I can see where the OP is coming from games like these and their "TECH TREES" that are LINEAR and the same structure everytime get boring. Now, if anyone has played the new CIV IV you would have found they changed this tech tree linarity by allowing you to advance beyond having to do everything in a specific order. What these types of games tech trees need is breakthru teching at various random times in the game. Yeah it can give someone an advantage, but, that's the fun and challenge of b

1. The higher your morale value the more you can tax people thus the better your economy. It also effects voting when you're a republic or having a voting society. If it's low in the red or like below 45 then you could get voted out of office and lose your politician bonus you got at the start of the game for some turns. Population is the key to success for invasions, if you have low populations the growth rate is slower, whereas huge populations can yield you a 1000 man troup transport and hard

If you play more of an EVIL type player you'll get activity from the AI. I normally played around neutral in my early games and found I could do almost anything without the AI ever declaring war on me except some puny EVIL race with 4 colonies which I stomped in the dirt. lol Think about reality, good rarely fights good unless provoked or "paid off" haha like I do sometimes and have some good/neutral races get it on with each other, then pay off another as those are weakening to take on the vict

I play on PAINFUL and set all the races to WARY with me at the start and play on medium map, common habitable planets, occassional planets per star and abundant stars, occassional anomolies. If you want a challenging and fair game this one will do it. You might be lucky to get 4-10 planets most, depends on your start area and what initial techs you take. I play a custom build and I still find the AI very challenging. Also use the enhanced CPU feature turned on. You can't just play ONE
