I've experienced this too, seems to be about 50% of my autosaves actually. I've started saving manually a lot so that I can get deep into games.
This is one of those things that Beta 1 doesn't cover. Just be patient... Even once you get apartments it can be a pain and you have to dedicate much of your city to housing... but that will get worked out. So hold these thoughts until Beta 3 :) But yeah, getting to a lvl 5 city right now is pretty tough even for a capital city with 3 food resources nearby.

I had major issues with this in my last game, to the point where I couldn't build anything further in my capital, even though I had an orchard available on the tile right next to the city center, and 6 unused building slots... couldn't even build a house after the 3rd-4th reload.
Similar thing happened to me, something wonky with gold in some games.
I'm one of those people that pirates for the hell of it at times to try a game I would never buy otherwise. I have little interest in sci-fi so when Mass Effect 2 was coming out, I decided to download the original game and give it a whirl and see how I liked it... well by the time I finished Mass Effect I was so impressed I went out and bought a ME/ME2 bundle the next day. By the way, in the old days, or in the world of consoles, this is known as borrowing a game from y
You weren't kidding when you said this update would be huge. Looking forward to the lack of fun! (and Winky beat me to the TWSS)
Much appreciated, Boogie. Steps in the right direction if they are implemented properly. My reservations about cities are quieted for now knowing that you at least share the community's feelings... solving the problem won't be easy and will probably evolve through the beta. Good luck!
Finally! A new era for auto-resolve.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="29" id="2544060"]I dunno. You guys have to realize, from our perspective, Firaxis are the good guys. It's a small industry and we're friends with these guys. Soren Johnson, at Firaxis at the time, is in the GalCiv II credits. He's not there but it gives you an idea of how close knit our group is. That's why it always pains us to see people taking sides. We're all on the same side. I realize people who aren't in the ind
Civ V will be great, but fall 2010? This is game development here. March 2011 would be optimistic.
I am dumbfounded that anyone would say GalCiv 2 was not one of the best strategy games of the past few years... that's... I just don't know what to say... uh... live under a rock much? I didn't even know what a "stardock" was until GalCiv 2 yet they managed to make one of the two best 4x games in recent memory, and their expansions were even received better critically than Civ 4's. Personally I'm not that much into sci-fi, and so I still liked Civ 4 quite a bit more, but it wa
[quote who="bluebogle" reply="60" id="2542975"] Trying to be optimistic here, but considering the Fall from Heaven I & II mods for Civ 4, I hope someonw does mod out Elemental to the point where its damn close to MoM2! If you haven't played them, the FfH mods are a massive overhaul of Civ 4 that's the next best thing a modern fantasy 4X fan out there until this game comes out. The downloads mor the mods are something like 450 megs![/quote] FfH is great, too bad
Wall hax.
Just wanted to say that last week, thanks to these forums, I played MoM for the first time. What a magnificent game, so far ahead of its time in '95. I didn't get a PC until '98, so I completely missed it, but it has held up extremely well 15 years later. I stopped playing Mass Effect 2 when I got sucked into MoM and I might not finish ME2 for a while now... On a side note, I'm not such a fan of the planar/underground maps seen in prominence in games like AoW:SM or HoM&M3. MoM doe
I'm a big lover of all things city-building, and this sounds promising. I fully support the hard-cap of forty tiles because, as you say, if you used an algorithm-based system it would only be a matter of days before the playerbase found out the ideal cap for that system and you would have put in extra work and balancing for nought. Focus your efforts on making the choices for the use of those forty tiles difficult and most people will be happy :) I did see
