First of all, I own a few Stardock games, WoM, SoSE included, and I used to frequent both forums. I don't personally know Wardell, no, but I've seen his posts on the forums, read about him, and seen his public statements. That's as much as most people "know". Why should it disgust you that I...

I stand by my assertion. If you want a game that does what FE is trying to do, look to Age of Wonders, Master of Magic, Warlords, or even Civ4's own Fall From Heaven mod(they hired Kael on to help fix FE, but didn't really incorporate many of his ideas). They all do " 4x strategy fantasy game"...

This has actually happened to me twice in my last game. I was able to DOW somebody very shortly after peace because of another nation asking me to join against them. There should be a penalty for that.

Endless Space is shallow and after the initial charm of the graphics, system overview, etc. you realize it's basically just a more complex tower defense game. Diplomacy is weak, combat gets atrociously boring and predictable(not to mention very very little decision making), and the tech tree...

The problem isn't with the color, per se, because I love me some dark red, but it looks so similar to the barbarian color scheme(almost exactly, maybe the barbarians look a little more "dull"). I find myself doing double takes at my borders, especially early game when barbarians can really spoil...

Thanks for those ideas. Still probably wouldn't use it for scouting, though I'll have to remember that for a Sweden game.

Yeah, ok. The only indicator on the unit is in the tool-tip text from the "spread religion" action. Only look after the fact, when I was trying to figure out wth happened. :lol: It was at 2/4 conversions so yeah, not much I could do with it. Oh well.

Does anyone know if it's a bug or WAD that a captured GP from another religion stays as that other religion? It was a surprise to me after I moved an enemy GP that I had captured all the way to a city and unfortunately didn't read the text on the conversion where it said they would become...

Hi, I'm not sure what the problem is, but have experienced the same thing since the patch. My brother and I started a King game and it reverted to Prince for both of us when we tried to load the save(which didn't end up working anyways). I don't think there's any way around this, at this...

I picked very bad, only because they should have it fixed by now. Stumbles out of the gate are to be expected, but not this late after so many patches. Granted, MP is and should never be the focus in Civilization, however in this day and age it should still be a working feature. Civ4 had a...

Cool.

I believe I'm in the process of "losing", though I haven't played it out yet. It's about 1900, and I'm up through mech infantry and some other modern techs. Playing on King, epic, large map, playing as France, and there are two civs that are just insanely huge. My closest threat is Siam, he's...

I'll give this a go, never done a OCC before in any Civ. Seems Cultural is the way to go? Maybe I try something else.... ;)

So I've seen some complaints about there being only continents, archipelago, pangea, etc. Well, go to mods>singleplayer>setup game, and there should be options for all our old favorites under map type. Fractal, Lakes, Four Corners, etc. I will caution that I downloaded Dale Kent's maps of the...

Dude, calm down. You are unlucky. I'm sorry, but don't ditch Civ 5. They are working on issues like this(also you are complaining about the demo, wait and see). Do you remember Civ4 release? Much much worse.

I kind of hate posts like these. It's not the end, the sales will be through the roof, all but guaranteeing a Civ6. All that aside, because your complaint is probably not about sales, have you played the game? How many times? You've formed a completely bulletproof opinion in...what, less...

I was excited to see them in the manual too, and their beefed up stats. Wish there was some good way to implement Marines as well.....eh, maybe for an expansion. I can see these units wreaking havoc in a war, should be fun.

Civ1 Civ2 SMAC+Crossfire CTP Civ3+Expansions Civ4+Expansions Civ5 Good times, remember playing Civ when I was what....like 7 or 8? Yeah, awesome. Though most of my Civ youth was spent on Civ 2. I remember playing the WW2 scenarios over and over again(not quite as good as the...

Since I'm not sure how much I'll be able to participate live, make sure you guys ask good questions/make good suggestions! :)

I think I would have picked option three if it weren't for the thread title: "When it comes to games like CiV....". Since Civ has never let me down(and never filled me up-zing!), if I can afford it at release I usually buy it then or shortly thereafter. Sometimes I'll hold off on expansions...
