Fuzzy Logic

Posting from Elemental in FF - button is there

People should have the right to express an opinion about a game. And no, the hotfix didn't fix the issues I have with the game. And yes, I will wait for the next update before playing again. My opinion is the game is still very much in beta, but it will be ok eventually, and it should never have been released as it is...

Most people are idiots, just deal with them - I have to ;)

Old news, topic is [e digicons]x_x[/e] The previous post was locked. Why is it people never read the messageboard before posting? But that's old news too...

I don't understand how you can be close to this game, play it, and not see how serious the problems are.

With the AI having access to unlimited resources and still spamming cities the game is seriously broken and no fun at all. Other problems with gameplay could be sorted out in due course, but this needed sorting before release. 4.0 seems very generous.

Give me back the beta, lol 1.07 is no improvement. Within 150 turns I was surrounded by 6 cities one of which had an impossibly large army. This is not fun, so I quit. That will be my last game.

The AI can go negative cash and food big time. I've not looked at other resources, it would probably upset me too much...

This is really spoiling the game. I've just gone back into that game, loading from the autosave, and inbetween crashes, I've raised cities I've conquered and got back into positive food. I was at +5, conquered a city of 1350 inhabitants and went -24 food...! The AI appears to build without food, create as many houses as it's possible to fit into a city, and have unlimited cash.

That's the point, it didn't have it. The AI appeared to have 12 cities, 8 maxed out, on one farm... The AI appeared to be sending out pioneers and dropping cities like flies in random locations. It even ignored an oasis.

I've just almost finished a game (it crashed before the end as usual), where the AI was growing it's population twice as fast as mine, to more than double my population. Then I found out why. As I conquered each city in turn my food went negative. At one point I was -22 food. The AI had been expanding and growing population without any food at all... I couldn't see any food resources in any of the cities I conquered. Unless I'm missing something this is a real nasty bug.

As I've yet to finish a game without it crashing, it wouldn't be right to vote [e digicons]:'([/e]

Of all the 'Elemental is not available' threads (which you could have read to get an answer instead of starting a new thread), this is the most dramatic. I wonder what will happen when everybody starts downloading and the server grinds to a halt - probably millions of 'I can't download Elemental' threads. Stuff the download, I'm going to bed...

I don't take notice of reviews, it's how it plays for me that matters. But I hope it doesn't take the endless updates and a decent mod it took to get Sins into an enjoyable state.

lol, I ordered mine over a year ago...

Just checked the forum (don't go there much since it changed colour - yuk!) and got the thread about the street date being broken. I'm a bit busy today (with girlfirend type thingies) so a Monday evening download would have been convenient. I know it's sad, but the GF comes first, gaming second...

Maybe you should be praising the HD manufacturer and not Dell...

A better colour scheme, but the white reply box is dazzling!

Not only is the site now fugly, the white text box against a dark background gives me a f***ing headache [e digicons]>:([/e]

Play as Altar, farms work fine. Some of the other factions seem a bit broken; no matter what research you have or positioning you choose the options to build just aren't available.
