(to everyone)
BTW- How about posting some screenshots
Can be bothered. It's so much work you know. Bit like doing the civilopedia and we've got so much other work to do you know
. Just kidding matey, I'll do some screenies for you some time.
NAMINGS: I just wanted to let you know, in case you were wondering, that I did play a few more turns (totally ransacked Bulgaria with the Ottomans) and still had loads of fun. You asked about some of my earlier points. Well I haven't had time to sit down, make notes and post back but here are some things I noticed from what I mentioned earlier, that I confirmed from playing again and looking at the biq:
~ I am leading the Ottomans with.............Salvestro de' Medici. That's pretty
but not intended me thinks. I can't see on the biq how this is happening. Is it my end only? It's the name automatically used for my save games too.
~ I am crushing "the Aydin" (name displayed under each city in Colour Blindness help settings), yet they are called "Western Beyliks" both in F4 Diplomacy and on the Power Graph in F8. This may be accurate naming, but it's a little inconsistent and had the effect of confusing me.
~ Same applies with Armenians who are also called the Cilicians in this.
For people not aware of the different groups active in the period, these differing names causes confusion and that reduces gaming pleasure. Perhaps suggest their other names in the 'pedia and keep things consistent in the biq? Main message - be consistent.
The only other complaint I have now is that the Locked Alliances are getting a bit annoying. I'm at war with
absolutely everyone now. The Fatimids decided they'd take advantage of my moving in the Antiochus area, declared war and paid the whole world to go to war with me. I'm handling it quite well actually but there is not a single ally to call on and none of these guys want to talk to me.
That lack of diplomacy isn't to my liking - I feel like you've tied my hands together and denied me a big part of the game - but I appreciate it's
fairly accurate historically speaking. Those Turkish tribes coming through pretty much slapped everyone about ----- but they also made peace treaties....
All in all, this is still great. Really good fun and well made. Those little gripes I pointed out do tend to distract from the good work though man!
