The producer is offering a product with a set of adverstised features. The consumer is accepting the product with the expectation it will work as advertised.

That's ridiculous. I'll tell you what has become corrupted in the world. It is who the victims are, and who the perpetrators are. Stardock are NOT the victims in this. Blaming the customer

If anything, I'm saying a company like mine that has money to burn would still not stand for a software release like this. Instead of giving us a chance to patch our software to functional, they would fire us all and find someone competent to develop their software in our stead.

Nobunaga's Ambition allowed you to marry off daughters/seek marriage as diplomatic weapons. I'm still researching the dynasty building, I have a feeling I've seen it in games before. Perhaps a Total War game? Not sure.
This is not a troll. I've asked for a refund for the game. The game, to me, is unplayable and completely unenjoyable. I do not have a weak system, most games maxed out hardly tax my rig at all. This game brought my rig to a crawl. I didn't buy this game to play it like a board game, zoomed out Stratego style. I don't like FPS so low that animations look like slide shows, if they even occur at all. Constant crashes from memory leaks, regardless of whet
I've seen this happen too. Ironically, it was group of raiding trolls that wiped out my kingdom. They had some ungodly combat stats. More than once have I seen the little spawn flash go off over and over and over only to witness a ridiculously high leveled unit come out of the fog of war and utterly crush anything in its way.
/bump I've linked crash dumps in an above post. They were back to back crashes. Very high turn count. Probably the out of memory issue (even with 12gb of ram plus a 4gb page file). Downloaded 1.6 + hotfix today. Clean install, all previous game data erased. Fresh 10.8 ATI drivers. Will keep updated and posting logs to this thread as they occur.
