I think builders are to powerful becuase they can automatically make any building or wonder, even the nuke.

I think the change should be they can build 50% of the building (give you 50 resources for collosses 100)

Thats dumb, then you could just waste two! What difference does it make, the player worked to get the great person so he deserves that bonus!

I agree. Some players just need to improve their strat to stay ahead of the game. Practice you azz off.

nice job with the spelling there

builders should complete BUILDINGS, not wonders

espicially not the wonders that can win the game

it turns the game into luck

the first one to get the builder wins

There are not much builders in the game, something like 7. And there are like 40 great people in the game. So its roughly a 1/5 chance to get a great builder.

Yeah, even online demo will show builders amount to money, because they rush things, You should realize that everything in this game can be counteracted.

Everything is overpowered, so everything is balanced.

I have, and you know what, i cant play it, i took 6 minutes just to get through the first 6 turns, the ones where they go through you making your first warrior, online is SO slow, i dont know how i could get through the whole game.

Builders CAN'T rush wonders that win the game (at least not directly)

I do think the Manhattan Project and Apollo Program should be similar to the World Bank and UN (No Rushing)

The whole idea of CivRev is for it to be fast and furious (at least compared to it's PC cousins) so it makes sense, to me, for builders to be able to rush whole wonders.

keep trying pal it is worth it, it seems like your experience is similar to how mine was

now ive played many more games the bad ones have started to become a minority

Later in the game, when i get my builder, or great scientist, i pick the hardest tech, or the longest wonder to make, so

I think once you commit to making a building or unit, and pick your tech to learn, its your final decision, you cant change your mind

I think it will make the game more stratigic, and you have to plan your moves perfectly

Bad idea primarily because it is very unfun and leads to stupid micromanagement

Your still a freshie in this game if u think builders win games.

In single player, getting a builder and then rushing the nuke is tantamount to winning, if done quickly enough.

But am I correct in thinking there is absolutely no way to influence which GP you get?

Well I do consider Apollo Program and Manhattan Project to be the 'winning wonders' for Tech and Domination Victories.
