[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="5" id="2826720"]I've seen the AI be able to draft tons of stacks of Scions and throw them at me endlessly while they go tens of thousands into debt with no penalty.[/quote] This is just what the AI was doing to me.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="30" id="2826527"]Just wanted you guys know that I've been testing the latest build out and it's looking good enough for a beta. No one's at the office to stage/release it but it's looking a lot better. We'll be pretty interested in hear feedback on it. It's definitely a beta but it also has a lot of bug fixes and performance improvements in it too. The UI improvements will probably be one of the things users notice right away though. I'
So, I was at war with Umber, and a couple of times I talked to him to try to negotiate peace. I noticed that the first time I did, he had about -8000 gildar...then later we spoke again, and he had -14,000 gildar! How was that happening and shouldn't it have some negative effect on his empire? He was kicking my butt by the way.

Now that the caravans create money and not food, how do we make up for that lost food in the game? Will there be more food resources? [quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="4" id="2826083"]As i understand the changes in caravans in the release notes for 1.1 beta, caravans will 1) generate money, not food. and 2) distance (length of trade route) will not affect amount of guilders generated. 3) upgraded roads will generate additional r
What's making everyone think there's no AI in the 1.1 beta? the patch notes clearly say that the AI is now multi-threaded, so it should be better. It's just that Brad's very latest changes won't be in yet. But they still improved the AI. Where is the confusion coming from
[quote quoting="post"]+ There is now the concept of a game year, which starts at 159 A.C.. There are 4 seasons in a game year. A turn is a season. Game year and season are now displayed in the upper left hand corner of the main game wnd, instead of turn num.[/quote] THIS is cool! I've wanted a concept of calendar dates instead of turn numbers since the beginning.
I think if you just put an amount of gold on their side of the trade table, and nothing on yours, it's seen as a demand for money...
[quote who="econundrum1" reply="14" id="2825295"]GCII by the way particularly with both expansions is more addictive than crack.

[quote who="jmarke" reply="1" id="2824101"]Spectacular! The open conversations about development...and implementation of user feedback is exactly why I love Stardock. Buying a Stardock game, you always feel like you're part of a cool process...and I, for one, thoroughly enjoy knowing my purchase has no ceiling. Amazing things will continue to be considered and integrated into patches and add-ons. Thanks for involving us! <br

[quote who="Goldmos" reply="5" id="2824058"]Well, like Heavenfall said, you can get a partial refund (around 75% IIRC). There is a major patch that's suppose to come out as a public beta this thursday so if you want, you can wait a little and see what's comming.[/quote] Don't bother, someone like the OP will never be satisfied. I've seen this type before.
with this attitude, I truly hope you don't get you $50 back. [quote quoting="post"] I swear, if there was a game that I bought that I SHOULD have pirated, it was this one. After four days of playing, I feel utterly cheated out of my hard-earned $50. Wait, let me rephrase...after four days of starting a game, having nothing work the way it seems like it should, and having to digest a horribly shallow, uninteresting 4X+Magic system made even worse by a U

pop ups like that are great, but stuff like that needs the ability to be turned off in the options if we don't want it...
[quote who="Dave_Genesi" reply="3" id="2821510"]Civ V is fun, but the end game is BORING!! I get to the point that all I am doing is plowing through turns to finish the space race. Hurry and build the parts. I got bored with Civ V quickly. I have been playing Fallout: New Vegas for the time being. I have completed that game once, about 75% done with my second play through so I hope EWoM 1.1 will be out soon. I have very little left to play and I have been itching for more EWoM! I am glad it i
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="28" id="2821313"]Registrations can be transferred, but SD does not directly support the resale of games since they don't see any income from that sale.[/quote] Here's my take on reselling games. Let's say SD makes 1000 copies of a game, and sells all 1000 copies. That's all the income they are entitled to for those games. If those 1000 people sell their games to a third party, SD isn't entitled to income again fro
[quote quoting="post"] See title. I'm just really disappointed that we're not getting regular updates anymore. For whatever reason. I've been lurking around these forums a LOT since 1.09's release to see when I could start getting excited about this game again and it's very disappointing that the level of communication has dropped off since Kael has come on board. I expected more... Please get back in to the regular updates thing, or I'll just have to lose interest.... <
I think you have Impulse confused with Steam. Impulse is fast, and it doesn't have to be running in the background to play... [quote who="konjad" reply="9" id="2819935"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 4What's wrong with impulse? It's a crap with slow download rate and every time I reinstall the game I need to wait at least 2-3 hours of download time instead of just installing it from .exe within 5 minutes.
