I was going to buy Majesty II. As I understand there is no squirmish/sandbox play, and it is putting me off the order for now. I play single player only and I cannot believe that a game like this doesnt have more single player focus than a short campaign. [e digicons]X|[/e]

MOO II is a SUPER game. My ranking of the best games ever: 1. CIV IV 2. MOO II share second with Total Annihilation. Ohh. the memories...

CIV IV AI can be quite ruthless now ( I play on monarch so the AI get some bonuses as well).

The only thing keeping me from uninstalling Impulse is my preorder of Elemental. I have bought GalCiv II and Sins, but I dont play em anymore. Yes I am the undercast that is called European. I will not be looking among hundreds of games to find the few I am kindly allowed to buy.

I have a point 4 for Impulse/Stardock. You really need to kick publishers about these region restrictions. I live in Europe and most of your offers are invalid for me. This is breaking my motivation to use Impulse as much as I would like. When I see Anno 1404 on impulse at a reduced price for the US, it is highly unlikely that I will buy it here in Norway for tripple the price.

1. CIV IV (best game ever) 2. Master of Orion II (flexible research tree, big monstas give big rewards ++) 3. MOM (ofcourse)

[quote who="SnallTrippin" reply="114" id="2363557"]It's IMPOSSIBLE to stop the stack of doom in this type of game...that is to stop it from being created. However unless your enemy is already much more powerful than you there's plenty of options to still defeat them..so I see no problems. [/quote] Its not impossible. There are things as collateral damage that can be used. One can have many objectives/tasks that need to be done at the same time thereby invalid

I think we should look at the king of games CIV IV for inspiration. No artificial limits but a system that will have tradeoffs. Armies can be limited by: 1. Upkeep cost in gold 2. Food consumpiton (supplies) 3. Small penalites if you mix certain units that dont want to be in the same army and similar stuff 4. Small penalties if the army is too large for the level of the general (no hard cap, just a small inexperience penalty) 5. A

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="281" id="2360729"] Quoting joasoze, reply 280i have preordered, but I am so angry at the impluse North America only sales that this might be the last game I get from them. But that's not Impulse's fault but that of publishers of those games. I'd suggest not buying games from those publishers (be it through Impulse or any other way) if you really need to show your (just and deserved) anger about the issue.[/quote] I understand tha

Master of Orion III - nuf said Gothic III - load times that took forever to play a horrible game - no thank you Games that are probably good, that I bought but hardly played: Gal Civ II, Sins of a Solar.., Fantasy Wars, Age of Empires II

i have preordered, but I am so angry at the impluse North America only sales that this might be the last game I get from them.

Since I live in Norway I dont get the benefit of this. This is extremely frustrating and now I will not buy any of the games on the sale on Impulse (cause I cant) or in the shop (cause I will not overpay). One less customer for Dawn of Discovery! Edit: I wish I could spell

CIV IV has this well covered. Instead of giving AI random goodies it gives start advantages on higher difficulty levels. An extra worker, warrior or settler. There is also differences in research and other stuff. If you for some reason have a perfect game where you have done everything right and dominate, then the AI should not suddenly get goodies to counteract. That is just weird. Random events in CIV IV are well executed. Some are totally random and som

I just preordered for the first time in my life. I love CIV IV, Master of Orion II and such games. The good ones are few and years apart so I hope this will be one of them.
