Lord Xia

Mustafa Thamer is the coolest name ever. Why couldn't I have been given a name like that?

Jeff, the prodigal son returns! Welcome back, Mr. Colvin.

And stirring up a bit of trouble on the forums from time to time, of course. Jon Interesting... you show up here, which is good, as opposed to that other forum I am also part of...

Welcome!

Yea, I'm atheist and I hate a lot of people and shit.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="18" id="2860676"]Sure, they're just worth less (but not worthless). And what about you, Xia? Do you think the world is a better place with you in it? [/quote] Oh clearly, in fact I find it sad that the world would even continue some day without me. I feel bad for all those that have to live in a world without me in it. Maybe, God will be merciful to all of those that will be around, and start the apocalypse at m

Well, good enough guess. I'll have to play the game again and find out, so then I can bitch properly about it.

Huh, no shit, I guess that makes sense. What do you do with them, just make them and have them hangout in the city?

I do want that fucking pony!

I think the spell "Imbue Champion" should be removed from the game. I don't like it thematically. I want only the Sov and children of Sovs to be able to use magic. Or the imbued ones should be very limited in what spells they can cast. I hate the idea that the imbued ones might be better casters than the Sov or his/her children. I think INT should affect abilities like "Administration", "Farmer", etc. The smarter your farmer is, the better the bonus % bonus

Title kind of says it all, I have just been ignoring them, I assume they have some function, right? Are they spies? Spies would be cool.

Absolutely, Welcome Jon. You will soon get to know all of us, I am the quiet sweet one.

That he did, and if that is what we get, than I will be one happy fat geek.

The idea that it failed is opinion, what is your data to support this? Sales? Reviews? What? How is it a failure? I don't accept that as fact, and I am impartial, I have never even played the game.

That is a pretty unlikely wish, but I think that a lot of the problems with the game can be fixed with some hard work and determination. The only area I am really concerned about it the tactical battles, since they are so fundamentally flawed, you can't just remodel that house, you have to rip it down and build a new one. It can be a fun, good game I think with everything else fixed or improved, but unless they truly redo the tactical battles, it will never be great, IMHO.

[quote who="InternetNerd" reply="110" id="2860546"] Quoting Ratatosk7, reply 86 I think its fun to watch who he hires next. Its like some sort of industry Guess Who. My bet's on Brian Reynolds (Civ 2, SMAC, Farmville, Frontierville). With Jon's "streamlining" and Brian's "FaceBooking" we can see an Elemental that requires an additional friend to unlock the big "You win" button, and 5 Elemollars to be able to click it. * Elemol

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="106" id="2860525"] Quoting charon2112, reply 105 If that's the real Jon, then I'm a bit disappointed at his button post. It's pretty unprofessional. Well, the guys and gals over at Stardock are not your average suit wearing, stiff talking, bobbleheads. And whats more, Stardock employees are allowed to, and are even encouraged and possibly directed to, mingle with the crowd. Screw professionalism.

I thought it was hilarious.

Why is it too bad? Too bad he clearly has a very good sense of humor? Does everyone on this forum has Aspergers or something?

[quote who="charon2112" reply="48" id="2860496"] Quoting mriguy, reply 46 Every joke has an element of truth. Why mention 'streamlining' unless he knew that is what has disappointed so many with the Civilization series. I am sorry, I do not find anything amusing about the statement. The guy who wrote the post about the button...is not Jon Shafer, repeat not Jon Shafer. [/quote] Yes he is, repeat, yes he is,

Yay! I made a friend!

Get a sense of humor, what the fuck, people, really? Joke! And a damn good one. Seriously. Everyone put on your big girl panties and stop your crazy hyperbole bitching.
