As I said they are charging you for work they left out of the original release. Something Jon Shafer has ample time to discuses with the community before they raped our wallets. Alas his loyalty was to corporations and his job not to fellow gamers or the quality of games in general. So the cycle continues.

Just because what you are stealing is intangible does NOT mean you are not stealing. You don't get the point. Tangibility is irrelevant. Removing original "thing" (tangible or not) is relevant. I, in fact, can steal something that is intangible: copy a file and delete it from the original source. Copying without deleting is not stealin
Yup the AI is much better at the little things involved in managing troops in the field. For example evil Dido of Carthage took my third city early on with a army of 1 warrior and 5 archers..I thought..no problemo but Dido arranged her archers in such a way that I couldnt get to them all before they drop the health of the to super low levels. The warrior then ran in and took the city, and when my army finished off the archers it was able to retake the city. The warrior stayed just long enough
@Kyro & Frogboy : Still waiting for you to address why the Galciv2:ToA shipped with completely broken AI and you've done nothing about it but grab the money as it flowed it. Here is an ethical question for you - you gunna pay the modders who are fixing your game for you? If developers can justify lying to customers about the quality and completeness of the product they are taking money for then I fail to see how its suddenly unethical for customers to "test" the product for fr
1) Civfanatics sadly has been a for profit puppet of 2k for a bit now. You go there, post safe posts, stick your nose up the butts of the brass and hope to get hired while the site owners rake in huge profits from ads. Choose one of the many splinter sites if you want a honest opinions that takes many different perspectives into account. 2) I order from Getgamesgo.com for $22. We are basically paying for 2 features that should have shipped with the game to begin with..but I'll giv
well first..there is all those people paid to sit at home and click on ads so companies think ads are great. Then there are the forum bots that occasionally post subversive ads of thier own "FE is great its like my favorite game x". They need to click on these to appear to be real amoungst other reasons. Then there are the people like me whos cat jumps on the computer whenI get up for a tonic. I am a firm disbeliever that anyone ever clicks a banner ad on purpose.
My problem with Steam is its effect on the marketplace. They provide a good service to the majority of gamers. But always online discriminates against poor kids whos parents cant afford an internet connection. Its already hard enough to find a good selection of videos games in a store. Sooner or later games in stores wont exist at all..and that will unfairly box out a section of gamers. Steam is an irresponsible choice for the future of gaming.
I'm not sure if this is one of those "go play another game " issues for the devs but I also would like to see the catacylsm to civilization process more played out than it currently is. I feel the problem with cities and pioneers is in the numeric formulaic population system that is a holdover from civ and really doesnt work with this sort of game. I think instead of some obscure hidden formula being the source of population quests to rescue/convince/tame lost fragments/tribes cou
Titan's Quest:IT : play it and you'll never want to go back to that over hyped media darling again.
If your values say something is wrong..and you ignore them and just move on with your life...do you have values? Is it enough just to say you have them or are they a product of actions not words? And if do have values can they be about games or are games too trivial to have values about?
If 100 million young people purchase product x that you think is bad/wrong..and play it..and it becomes successful so that 300 million more people buy and play it...doesnt what was originally considered "bad" become the status quo? And what was right now become pase or wrong. If gamers have morals, are they required to act on them less said morals be decayed and go extinct? If we are the "parents" of gaming should we just respect the childs mistakes or correct them? &n
Pick something you think is "bad". Lets assume there is a website dedicated to it. Is it ok for people to give money to that website? To visit it? To partake in its content? Or does that make them "bad" too? Is it different for a game that does something "bad" and the people who play it?
I was thinking about Torchlight 2 vs Diablo..and I was saying to myself..D3 might end up being a very good game but my values as a gamer are violated by the always on internet and real money auction house. So even if D3 ends up being as good as d2 I'll never play it and no one else should either. Whoa...what was that last part? Thats the question. If a game violates core values is it ok for other people to play it? Other are enablers of said broken values and thus enemies of gamin
Awesome! I was looking for these! The game should tell you what each path unlocks so you can make an educated choice. What file were they hidden in?
Its a game where you hand write apology letters and refunds to the many customers you burned. Seriously wait at least long enough to see if he sticks around or bails after release.
I 100% agree with everything in your interface section and your suggested solutions!. However you game play section seems just a bunch of lose complaints and I really dont follow any of them.
Ive had lots of instances where a bad guy would go to zero but not die until I hit them again. I've never used pillar.
I want to know how the worst AI empire in my game gave me a 1500 gold tribute...shesh thats a lot of money..
I actually had trouble with the curse city stacked 5 times and no investment in the magic tree for dispell. And I think its Pariden that was cursing me. Early game it can shut an entire city down..and if you have 2cities..thats 50% of your empire frozen..especially annyoing not knowing who cast it..at least if you know then you could kill that faction.
Not a bug..You cant just zerg rush every battle! I had this problem with drake splash..80s hitting the entire army killing everryone in 1 hit..I used to tactics to win the battle(on reload)..arranging my army with spaces in between so the splash didnt activate. Won the battle with only 1 loss to a lucky crit. Adapt or die :)
I got this one too. I think the bit about the guy not being able to pay you and thus you attack him is correct but missing an option.
hmm well razing the city didnt work...whoever it was just cast the 5 curses on my other city :( How is the Ai affording to maintain 5 city curses per turn fairly early in the game?
You can give all your troops the stealthy attribute which makes them less likely to be attacked
ISome unknown soverien has cast 5 versions of a +unrest spell on my city. Is there anything I can do about it?
Combat animation are significantly slower with this patch and movement of units in combat is choppy. Its like everyone is choreographing their attacks..I had rare problems with this last patch and while this is faster its happening every combat..is there any way to turn off combat animations? I like the new fallen terrain trees/swamps/whatever!
