I don't think the true fans ask for too much but I do think the forum TROLLS do. I figure most of them are from Paradox forums anyway.

Ahhh I see some of the Paradox FANBOIS are here as well. They know full well how the gestapo moderators work over there. They delete posts and ban for saying negative things about their games. I've seen it, my friends have seen it and YOU have seen it. So don't act like paradox forums are gods gift to gamers. Worst forum and worst forum fanboie members I've ever seen.

[quote who="Yamhee" reply="105" id="2865956"]I can add I hate people that use the term "bucko"...especially when I am a grown man of 35. I am fully aware people are not put on this planet to meet up to my expectations, dear god, do you actually get by in life acting so smug and pointing out the obvious? EDIT: Wow, okay. Had a look at your posts, and seems like that is indeed all you do. [/quote] You sure don't a

[quote who="Yamhee" reply="103" id="2865932"]I personally hate any "fanboy". Be it games, PC/Mac, cars...whatever. The fact that someone can be so close-minded and not accept that someone might like something other than what you like is just ridiculous. And that someone is not even open to TRY something else/new. It's sad really. [/quote] Sorry, but, that's reality and life bucko might as well get used to it. Nobody was put in this life to meet up to "your"

[quote]It's one thing to not buy a game, and it's one thing to return games (although returning games because of how you're treated on FORUMS as someone mentioned above?!; you've got to be kidding), but when you want a company that makes quality games to go bankrupt because you feel bad about what they're doing, then you might have the problem, not them.[/quote] Sorry to burst your bubble bud but it's a free world we live in now and we can think and feel anyway we like.

This is just a flamewar thread and will result in no good as you can already see. Please lock it and let's move along.

[quote who="Domicron" reply="46" id="2861751"]"lots of people think civ 5 is fine" There are demonstrable gameplay issues (I'm not even counting the bugs). This isn't opinion, these are proven facts. I'm more than willing to hear someone refute the points brought up in anything I've posted, but the only defense anyone ever gives is generic stuff along the lines of what you just posted. "oh not everyone hates it" Every one acts like this is some wi

I smell brown-nosers in this room.

Haha I ask for a little brotherly help from my forum brothers and sisters and this is what I GET? I put a CURSE on you all then. You shall ALL REAP WHAT YOU SOW! so it has been said, now let it be done!!

http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=53975 Please go vote and show this guy and some others that GC2 is the best 4x out there next to MOO2. I like how he tried to sneak his poll in on a less traveled place but I found him out. Now go vote in droves and show him he's a ******. lol

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="24" id="2714006"] Quoting PanicWave, reply 17 I wonder why people cheats on computer games... isnt it better put on easy mode? They cheat because they lack the maturity for facing any real challenges which only weakens their strategic gameplay in the longterm. Many are perfectly comfortable reloading a saved game over and over to win important battles or change a random event... those poor computer opponents never h

Make quests like in Warlords III where you can pick the level of difficulty as well as a new one as soon as the old one is finished. But don't let the low level quests turn into an exploit of medium to high level reinforcements like Warlords III did. I recall you could build customized gains in Warlords III and players would turn off everything else and make them zero's just to get Dragons as free mercs on some easy quest of deliver a message to point A on the map that were 99% always wi

[quote quoting="post"]Okay, so I kept my mouth shut and waited for the great 1.1 patch; finally get it and less than 1 hour into my first game it CTDs. I now really feel like the money I spent on this game was a complete waste and I will not be buying another Stardock product unless it has been out a year and half a dozen of my friends swear to how good it is. I could have dealt with a much more modest revamp game play and balance-wise if it was *stable*! To have strung

[quote]but the total customization of human troops feels too much like a game of Excel. In GalCiv, being able to completely customize spaceships fitted the concept well, but in a fantasy game I would like it to be a bit more restrictive. [/quote] Well I totally disagree with this because Alpha Centauri proved what a great idea being able to custom build ALL your units WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS is. I had more fun CREATING different types of units than I ever had in any other

[quote who="Boone62" reply="53" id="2807554"]IMHO, the Golden Age of Gaming was the days of the Comodore 64/Amiga, the Atari 400/800, and the Apple IIe; as soon as the PC entered the gaming world, it went downhill in a hurry! Although the Intelivision was pretty cool in its day as well [/quote] You got that right. The C64 and Amiga 500 ruled in both gameplay and graphics compared to the PC. Just go back and play

The only thing taht must be improved in 1.1 is the AI, strategic to tactical. I could care less about all the rest as it can come slowly if the AI would just be challenging and fun and proper difficulty by difficulty levels like GC2.

[quote who="illmunkeys" reply="17" id="2806366"]I don't get this "golden era" mentality. Games have always been bug ridden messes. I believe in 1983 or so the entire market crashed due to poor quality and an oversaturated market. Almost any game with any sort of graphics required me to fiddle with settings and struggle through computer crashes. I remember one CRPG, the name is escaping me, where part way through the game, you became completely invulnerable to atta

Games being released in a bad sad state is nothing new it's been happening since Win98 and has gotten progresssively WORSE over the years. It's now a no fretter to release games in a crappy unplayable state BECAUSEEEEEE many IDIOTS will still pay for CRAP OUT OF THE BOX. If morons would stop doing this then these games would stop being released this way or better yet might finally be released in a playable bug free state. I could list a ton of games that were horrible releases that got 90's a

Over 80,000 copies of this game sold already so the small portion of merely forum members don't represent 1/10000th of those that bought the game therefore there is no need for these types of threads with stupid "official" bs when there is nothing official about the OP. I could care less if the tactical game looks like that wad of units all conglomerated all over the map in a pile of mess. I prefer hex or square based and turn based combat as has been told by Brad et all many times that this

I can't believe after all these posts about MOM AOW HOMM blah blah blah everyone failed to mention the all time greatest Fantasy Wargame of them all. There were even 3 or 4 books written about it. For shame for shame. Well I suppose I must be the leader here and let you in on the greatest of them all. Ta da da dat da daaaaaaah: "WAR OF THE LANCE"! Thi

Question which resourse/building is for which research tree? If I want magical research points what do I build or look for on the map? If I want civilization improvements like food, armies, diplomacy etc what buildings do I build or resources do I look for? I know there is arcane and world I'm just not sure which is which so I'm building everything to get research points into them.

I've been playing since the 1.0 version and have only had one minor issue and have well over 24 total hours into the game now. I thought I would show my settings and you could try them to see if it helps stop your issues.
