I think Brad may have mentioned this. Suggestion: Allow Pioneers to build beacons on mountains (with some later tech) with big visibility ranges. Also give watchtowers on hills bigger ranges

They are reopening it. So that means everyone. Do note though that you will be charged as soon as you download (so people don't sneak a free game before cancelling their order). It's also not that fun at the moment, rubbish graphics (the main engine is disabled until they sort out gameplay) and crashes galore. If you don't beta test you won't be charged yet. If you are worried the best thing to do is message a stardock person or send them an emai

Soren got nicked by Maxis to try and get some proper gameplay into Spore. Even he couldn't manage that.

[quote who="maniakos" reply="5" id="2576939"]Cauldyth, I have read his post earlier, however, only time will tell if stardock will succeed. Remember, this is a product, and there are deadlines and expectations set not just by people but by financial gains/ resources spent. This is not www.freeciv.org. Also, the AI in galciv2 wasn't good by any means, but it wasn't bad either in fact it was the best in the industry, but still that wasn't enough for that

With this post (and with your others), it helps the devs enourmously if you post the debug file (created every time you close the game or it crashes - i think it is overwritten each time so you may not have it for this one anymore). Don't copy and paste to the forums as it is too long, put it on pastebin.com and link to it.

I suspect he was simply being told exactly what to say by someone in the tower. Don't really see the problem, you can tell from the pilots' responses that they knew roughly what was going on.

Possibly black powder, but not guns. Just doesn't seem to fit the story for me. I wouldn't want any more than Saruman's from LOTR.

IMO the fact that consoles are now as graphically powerful means that console ports are selling less. Which means that games that could be on a console generally are. But there are still some games (like a certain fantasy TBS) that cannot be on console. I can't see these struggling.

I'm just waiting for someone to say 'like the British NHS death panels'. They don't exist. No. They really don't. Honest.
