Yeah, it's like, Tuesday or Monday or something. And here you are, chillin' away in an airplane while the grunts sweat and toil. Do your job as a taskmaster and get down there with the whip! D:
So, about those bear cavalries..

While we're on the subject of graphics, the Options in the beta really need drop-down menus. Having to keep pressing those arrow-buttons is *such* a chore. Just sayin'.
[quote who="DethAdder" reply="27" id="2627709"]If you want the game badly(or any Steamworks game) and don't want to be a pirate you can always buy the retail box. You get a nice box, Manual , and a shiny coaster. Then simply grab the cracked version of it where you can play singleplayer(and some even MP) without ever installing steam. The Devs/Pub have their sale, you have your game, and no Steam installed. [/quote]But that may give them the idea that Steam isn't detrimental to their sales.</
Stop making crappy games and crappy console ports, and I will buy your games. If you insist on making weak unimaginative console ports, I won't.

[quote who="Aractain" reply="425" id="2627323"] The future isn't even future proof. [...] [/quote]True. But I mean "bar meteors", here. All of my old games, which I own myself, on disc, is still fully playable. Yes, I may have to run it on an old machine, I may have to hit it with a wrench. Yes, I may have to run it through one emulator, or maybe several. But I'll always have them. At least until the discs degrade. Not too long
Heh. Pass, then. If it's just too good to pass up for whatever reason, I'll just pirate it.
I absolutely loathe Steam, so count me in on this. I just cannot rely on something that isn't futureproof. And Steam is so very, very far from that.
This is where I'll chime in and just say that I absolutely hate the way you've divided it up into "Kingdoms" and "Empires", instead of more iconic, individual, descriptive names, regardless if they belong to the western or eastern bloc and their race(s). There. I said it.
[quote who="Chipwich" reply="2" id="2604580"]You are seemingly forgetting that players will still want the A.I. factions to be fleshed out by the developer- consider that though almost everyone played with a custom faction in Galciv2, they were still happy playing against Drengin and Yor.

It happens every once in a while. I had the same problem before, with my karma seemingly fluctuating from day to day.
I'd still like some confirmations or clarifications on what's going on in the previous thread, yeah.. but if it is Michiel van den Bos, then yeah, I've got high hopes.

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="36" id="2601980"]Plato was doing religion then? Religions are control forms based on a supreme authority/entity/power, priests being the arbiters between the divine and the mundane which obviously grants them lots of power in societies where other kind of social structures hasn't been developed yet (except those ones who expand in all the areas of a society so they can have total control of it and perpetuate themselves ad astra).[/quote]Your judeo-christian outl

Religion is so much more than the abrahamitic religions and monotheism, or even theism. People really have to stop defining religion as the belief in a supreme diety (or several).

[quote who="TarponCrest" reply="27" id="2601552"] But if the "Gods" were to just do random acts that should not mess up the AI nor the choices on has and still allow for temple building and upgrading for a specific "God". The only variable would be the random acts of the Gods. Could be good ones(beneficial ones) these should be from your chosen God and the rest are either neutral to you or detrimental. I sure would love to fight a battle to the end and just before I was to call it
[quote who="ChongLi" reply="25" id="2601506"] The problem with that is that religion spreads on its own and you have very little ability to suppress it. You can choose your state religion but that will really cripple you if that choice does not agree with the choice of your population. If religion did not influence the AI's behaviour it would have almost no effect at all (besides bonuses from temples that were already present from previous games that lacked religion).[/quote]Y
