I don't remember this aspect of civilization ever being a concern in any other 4x I've seen. I could be wrong though. Regardless, I don't think it would add anything interesting to the game. Probably just more tedium, especially when infrastructure expands.
It's not a case of whose rights exceed whose. The law needs to set a punishment based on 3 principles. Firstly, something proportional to the breach of law. Secondly, something that may serve as a deterrent to a reasonable degree. Thirdly, something that remunerates a loss where applicable and practicable, with time served in the case of a crime of severity committed where remuneration is not within the means of the offender. There are of course special circumstances where there are b
I would be quite willing to wait a good deal longer than we already have. I'm fine just browsing the forums and making design plans with the MoM MOD team. I'd go so far as to say that if 1.1 took another 6 months, but included unit abilities and polished features, I would be delighted. Having said that, it probably isn't a good idea from a business strategy perspective.

[quote who="KingHobbit" reply="16" id="2820903"]I think to some degree there is a disconnect between SD and how big some people view the city spamming problem is. City Spamming is not a gaming strategy, it is a flaw in the game. Unfortunately for me, it is almost a deal breaker. It is ridiculous to watch the AI build city after city that doesn't develop into anything, or just found a city to get an Arcane Library. There is no strategy in spamming, it is just find a res
AI is definitely a high priority for any strategy game. Personally though, I want that magical/mystical feel before any of the other things even begin to matter for me. The graphic style goes a long way to achieving this, but it won't be until the spells go epic and the UI style is overhauled, that the immersion will be complete. I don't think that the UI is going to be remodelled by the way.
[quote quoting="post"] Is CITY SPAM fixed in 1.1? Can I please get an update on this?[/quote] Finally someone said something! Thank you. I thought I was the only one having this problem, and that it was probably too trivial to post about it, but those cans are so damn hard to get open sometimes.
[quote who="nathanielbm8" reply="139" id="2820580"]When a faction is killed; - at least to put a bar on its name on the kingdom info, and maybe "latest power level" rather than some frozen infos. - What of all their resources? They could be separated in each cities, the first to capture the cities get its share so: - Cities should stay on the map when a faction is eliminated, either stagnating or slowly declining (the population), and there woul
I'd like to say something about the concept of justice in general. The biblical line we have in the current bible is 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth'. In the Qur'an it says 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, and the instigator is the guilty party.' There is an important qualifier in that last condition. It speaks of the relationship between the victim and the offender. The offender is to be punished by the victim in a way that is proportionate to
[quote who="Gazz_" reply="112" id="2819916"]With current movement costs you don't have a lot of leeway in making magical roads even faster. Roads are 50% so I guess magical roads could be 35% or something. They'd soon turn into near-instanteous travel anywhere. That was a bad thing in MoM. They could, however, cost mana upkeep. That would be the same as a low powered gate / teleport. I'm not sure if "magic system integration" is doable in a cool and sensible w
Maybe it's the time difference, but I'm finding communication on the MOD forums to be a little slow. Or it could also be that there's not much going on at the moment. [e digicons]^_^[/e] Still, if Larienna is successful in his endeavour to get the new wiki and VPN up, I think it might help.
[quote who="Gazz_" reply="109" id="2819919"] Quoting Istari, reply 108I'll try to tone it down, so to speak. The use of "tone" as a pun could be construed as a derogatory reference to colour. Mr. PC[/quote] hehe. Well it actually was a reference to colour, not of people, but of Kryo's reference to 'overly-colourful metaphors' and wanting the reduction or elimination of them, hence the 'toning down'.
[quote who="Gazz_" reply="108" id="2819358"] --Snip-- That would finally integrate road building into both the economic and military system. --Snip-- [/quote] Excellent idea but missing one crucial component. Integration into the magic system. Allow roads to be enchantable for quicker movement and possibly even safety or defense. Sort of like the road going through Mirkwood in The Hobbit, or in the woods in that book T
Yes, HEX rules. You can have actual flanking and back-stabbing, and put dual-wield units to effective use.

[quote who="kryo" reply="107" id="2819722"] I know this was over and settled, but I don't care. I almost fell on the floor from laughing when I read that you were being reported for using the word **** on an internet forum. If there was any hint that you were being malicious in your use of it, I might understand. But otherwise it's bullshit, as you were really just making funnies. What you think is funny is not the measure of what's acceptable. The game is rated T, so let's

[quote who="Jharii" reply="99" id="2819118"]Yeah, that semanical justification clears it all up. Thanks. And "people being stupid" is a direct attack, and you can try to cover that up in semantics as well. Your intent was perfectly clear. Such as, I never said that you do not respect other people.

So I've been calling Toby, Kunta as a joke. I don't see why that is racist. Because the character is black? I swear, I think there are people that think everything is racist.
