You don't need to provide quality control for a free, available to all, warned it might be rubbish in advance but you didn't pay anything for it anyway, community led service. Once you bring cash into it, you've opened a Pandoras box of problems from licensing to royalties, from support to...

Oh noes...a challenge requiring you to formulate a strategy to resolve! What heinous nonsense is this in a strategy game?! There are plenty of alterntive solutions. Missile boats, nuke subs, land based invasion, attacking something closer...

Oil is insanely easy to find, besides it's America surely there'll be some poor neighbour Civ who's got it! :lol: Odd point to try and make as upgrading isn't the issue. Its the building in the first place. The B17 compared to the standard Bomber is a little stronger and takes a tad less...

Saving GS until the modern era is always fun if you play as Babylon and have gone for hardcore science buildings. 20 techs in a single turn makes me :D

Free culture for every barbarian I kill? Free gold for every unit I kill? Bonus to producing melee units? Happiness just for garrisoning a unit I was going to garrison anyway? Yes please Mr Honor. Liberty is indeed a powerful tree for many plays, but the other two have their place and...

Denouncing is a great mechanism. It's like Civs advertising that they want you to invade them. CIV: "I denounce you as you're a warmonger" ME: "And you thought bringing yourself to my attention was a good idea because..."

I never play with randoms from the internet. I play against people I know who I can insult and belittle properly if they quit the game.

Ah, but war is not just for domination! The Civ with no cities cannot build a spaceship...eliminate your compeititon and then sit back and enjoy your gentle paced game to space victory! :lol:

Sorry but the benefits of the B17 really are barely noticable. By the time you can build bombers you'll have a city that can churn them out at such a rate that you can basically carpet bomb a city into submission in a single turn, not to mention than in less than 30 turns or so the unit...

Not necessarily. Take the path to Chivalry for example, if you have a GS or two you can power through currency, civil service etc and have a massive tactical advantage over your opponents. Sitting on a GS until the late game IMO rarely pays off as well as a well timed tech boost in the early...

Sorry, but if I were looking for someone to play against, your post would definately put you in my "not worth the effort" box. Try flexing your epeen less and focus on what you DO want rather than listing what you don't.

To the War Academy! http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=426274 To be honest, I've found recently that opening with one point in Honor and then hunting down barbarians gets me higher speed early policies with Liberty's GP being earned circa turn 100 on standard games quite...

Who exactly pays you to play? I strongly suspect the answer is nobody and therefore this is an utterly misguided point. Are you trying to say that your time is better spent doing someting else? I'm not sure that there is a video game out there that would justify $65/ph as an investment. If...

I knew I shouldn't have got sucked into that damn war...:mad:

I presume you mean this. I'm not glorifying any feature, I'm simply arguing that the mechanics of the courthouse are not as detrimental to the game as is being made out. The Courthouse "issue" is available to everyone except the AI and given the AI's bonuses in higher levels and the insane...

To be absolutely honest, I don't know. I know that damage is caused, but I've never actually tried it. One for the weekend there! :)

Civ is predeominantly a single player game. Nobody in their right mind builds a single player game around it's multiplayer feature. With both of these points, the only person you're cheating by exploiting their power is yourself. And if you're willing to cheat yourself then you are trully...

How do you know it's a bug? Did you develop it? Did you program it? Unless you did you cannot say that it's a bug. I also don't see it as a bug. In the early game, the cost of pushing up your social policies for a few extra happiness points simply doesn't pay off. In the later game...

If you have a tiny but very modern army you can technically appear to have a stronger military position than you actually do. Remember, suicide warriors can take down a GDR, so the enemies relitavely low strength is not necessarily an indicator that you'd win an overall war.

I've actually stopped using strategies that have classical era conquest specifically because iron, above any other resource, is an utter pain to find. And you do have to find it, you can't just presume that there will be some in settling distance. I can have a billion horses and no iron...no...
