... and it is still version 1,0... easily tested by going into battle: friendly units cannot move through each other. Where is it released then?

says released, Steam downloaded something, but version in-game still 1.00... ?????

Congratulations, Cari. Motherhood is THE most important job in the world (more so these days that it is being so much neglected...). Hats off to all women who, like you, decide to focus on it. Now go ahead and raise the next generation of top developers! ;)

This may be small, but it may change the game at the tactical level: Something I always liked only "halfway" is the tactical battle in Stardock's games... halfway meaning that it is indeed a very good solution to the battle part of a 4X (I wish some people at Firaxis would have learned that before engaging in the for-me-at-least biggest desing error of their latest Civ, but that is another story), but the other half remains lacking for me... Yes, I know, what half yo

I just don't want the parrot to ruin another game I like (and my children, for that matter). You should learn to take comments lightly (but the underlying content seriously). How would I know what youve purchased or not? Take comments lightly/serious

I just hope that that parrot is not the same that coded Civilization 5... (just kidding... or am I?)

Beta 5 does not require being online to play anymore. Good! (but I hope the beta does not leak now...)

OP has a point. My 9-year old boy fell in love with FE after his sister bought the beta; granted, he is an avid Civ5 player, but still... he managed to create a custom sov that even in the hands of the AI is pretty much unbeatable. He turns 9 this next Sunday... if he is able to create such a "monster" within the game rules, then something is out of balance. Perhaps the plus/minus system of the traits...

[quote who="OrionM42" reply="60" id="3132694"] Rebelito, in case you haven't figured this out, already: The second box, under the Downloads section of the Stardock Store, is labeled: Beta Update (to 0.90.002). But this so-named "update" actually embodies the patch, from .86 to .90. I downloaded it a short time ago, and it all worked just fine. So, I think it should work for you too. Good Luck !

Yikes, you are right, do I need to download .90.001 and update? I though I download .90.002 for my .86 beta? I'm not sure that point.[/quote] Well, downloading now... worst case and we have to install from scratch, I'm ahead... best case, they up

they are busy preparing it, I am sure. You'll see.

You SD guys must be doing something right... I have never seen so much anticipation for a BETA...

[quote who="Bellack" reply="8" id="3131552"]I just heard that the Beta 3 is coming out after I get my new power supply and video card. Should be about two weeks I'm sure you guys don't mind waiting [/quote] I don't want to wait for you because your GFX will be DOA and your new PS will fry the remaining of your system...

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="136" id="3130702"]The ETA was 12th, but they moved it forward one week, so 19th or 20th is a fair bet. Unless they delay it another week. But those weekdays are the ones they release stuff on usually.[/quote] well, the message was more directed to Kael, but thanks for your guess anyways...

Not to disrupt the flow of discussion, but any aprox date for b3? My daughter is about to kill me, as I "promised" her she would have the new beta as of April 12... yes, the game has been bought through my account, but she is the actual buyer, a huge fan of FE, and poor thing, she prepared in advance for last week's release (pre-done homework, etc)... any new release date for her? Thanks. Nothing more insistent than a 12-year old girl that is a fan of fantasy

... yet he gave land units the "magic" ability to "transform" themselves into their naval transports the moment they touch the ocean (civ5)???? With all due respect, but some consistency speakes a huge lot about professionalism, doesn't it? I agree fully with the idea, though. It's just that sometimes ideas can get hit hard depending on who the messenger is.

One small correction: Jon Shafer was not the designer of Beyond the Sword, he only worked on a component of it: Espionage. Please correct. About the beta, my daughter is happily playing it (b2), but complaining about the crashes. She just loves FE, pre-ordered it with her own money because she could not wait to try it. Any chance that a new beta comes out sooner than spring (or maybe early spring)? Thanks,

Shafer fanboys are the worst. As for comparing yourself with 2K forums, well, my post criticizing Shafer's hiring was closed by the CEO himself... so much for a difference, huh?

It's called "paying for a product" in this part of the world... how is it called in yours?Except you are talking about an upcoming purchase being delayed. As in you don't even own the game. Get lost troll. [/quote] No, I'm talking about Civ5. Get lost, analphabet.

My point is that attributing the lion's share of the blame to people who more than likely had very little to do with the issues is ridiculous. And saying that he should have left with a partially completed game... No, that really would be worth blaming him for. Instead, he did his utmost best in order to release the game in

[quote who="brycex99" reply="150" id="2860933"]Domicron, You're just linking me to the 1 mostly negative review I've found myself. That doesn't mean it's "right" but that it just conforms to your opinion of Civ 5, so I'm not quite sold on the hate yet. It isn't just in reviews that I've heard good things about it either, but actual players that have enjoyed the game. I'm not one of those guys that just trolls Metacritic and buys any game that is 90 and up, I generally li
