    Apologies for being hard to reach. FB is probably your best bet right now, which should not be taken to mean it's a good bet.

    Holy Mother of God Imperial Guard is Good

    All right, so are you upset about the (apparent) fact that the bonus exists, or that you weren't told about it? I'm pretty sure that since the dawn of time, people have been saying that spearmen should have no chance against guns. My complaint would be (inspired solely by the OP's example)...

    Wide continents instead of tall continents

    While I do feel your pain (I like the world-ocean better than the world-continent), it IS possible to build a navy for each ocean, you know.

    CivV designer admits it's a turd.

    Perhaps unintentional, but it still sounds like he's trying to distance himself from it, shift the blame off himself. Considering that marketing often forces a game to be released long before it's ready, I don't hold him TOO responsible.

    Civ = SimCity?

    And unfortunately, what YOU sir don't seem to get is there are a LOOOOOOT of stupid people out there who will keep buying it because of the marketing and the demo videos look cool. Do you wonder why new games cost $50-80? Because stupid people will pay it, and so the game companies get the...

    Raaaaaaage!

    CivWorld getting cancelled

    I certainly have a lot of respect for Sid, but I think it's becoming painfully obvious the man isn't the god everyone thinks he is. You even look at his early successes like Civ and Col and you can see they have glaring holes which others had to fix (with newer versions or simply filling in)...

    What should I do about culture?

    I have a few tips about getting your first border pop that may interest you. Check out the first link in my sig, which will take you to a page with the border-popping article linked to it. And feel free to like my site if you like it. :)

    [BAT 2.0] BugOptions - Cannot locate settings folder

    I'm getting this error too, and worse, it won't save any settings I set, and I haven't got a clue where it's looking that it can't find it. I can find the folder just fine exactly where it's probably supposed to be. I didn't install under a different account, I don't have multiple log-ins or...

    CivWorld now in Open Beta; no invite required

    Couldn't figure it out. You want to see a game done right, and devs who provide incentives to pay without ever making the game annoying to not pay? Try Trainstation. You may or may not like dispatching trains, but those devs do right from top to bottom. All game companies should aspire to do...

    Alpha Centauri Re-released by GOG

    It's been so long since I played, I remember playing SMAC a ton, and not long after I got SMACX I stopped playing. All I recall is that it added 7 more factions, two of which were aliens, and all of which were unbalanced. Any other changes of significance?

    CivWorld: Gameplay Video Released

    Rather, the ads state explicitly that the game will be about something fun and/or sexy, but the actual game has nothing whatsoever to do with what the ads promise. IIRC someone is taking them to court over false advertising. Good of them to do that, but... it's my understanding that...

    [MoO] Whats the most unbalanced custom race you've ever made (MOO2)?

    I've always favored UniTel for its vast savings and no downside. Before they bumped up the cost of Creative, I'd pair that with Rich HW. Creative on its own works well with this, but I've tried a few other combinations. I have almost always taken -spy, -ship attack, -ground troop, and -food...

    Moo2 newbie observations.

    You cannot use just one weapon the whole game. Early on, beams are pretty useless and you are way outgunned (speaking from Impossible difficulty, here), so you have to use something else. A tolerable number of fighters won't fit in anything smaller than a Cruiser, and you need to get ships...

    I'm pro-Second Amendment, but

    If enough people agree to it, yes. The Constitution is a flexible document.

    Love, or money and lifestyle?

    Both can be had. It's only THINKING that you can't have both that prevents you from having both. When you accept that all things are possible to he who puts forth the necessary effort, you win.

    Would you tell us if you were going to die?

    I imagine it depends on what kind of life you've built here. No one here is an actual friend, though several people like me. I'd probably say something, just to let people know that all my work was going to become incredibly valuable very soon, but I'm not looking for a pity party. Other...

    I'm pro-Second Amendment, but

    Anyone who collects anything is obsessive, be it guns, video games, books, or terms in a political office. Congress even defined a person seeking more than two terms or ten years in office to BE obsessive, then backtracked to apply it only to the office of the President. However, the metric...
