Pact of Secrecy and Pact of Cooperation were taken out of the game in a patch. Can't remember which one.

MadDjinn, have started to watch quite a few of your videos. My question is unrelated to strategy and is about your interface. I noticed that when you have a Settler selected that only the tiles that would be within a cities workable range show the yield markers. Is that an option or a mod...

I've seen similar behavior in my recent games. If a ranged unit was stationed inside my city and I wanted it to attack an enemy I had to click on the Attack button first instead of right-clicking on the enemy unit. Seems like this may have happened even when my ranged unit was not inside my...

I've had no problems using Steam offline mode myself. Ever.

But still it goes back to the publisher deciding to use it or not. Valve is simply providing the service. YOU may not like the service but 2K thought it was awesome and so decided to go that route.

Exactly! Because it uses Steamworks. Steamworks is not the same as Steam. Steamworks means that yes, you have to go through Steam to play the game. It also means that all your updates are done through Steam (easier for the publisher). It also means that you can track achievements, time spent...

His point was that you don't have to 'jump through a million hoops' with Steam. You jump through 1 hoop to play a game through Steam.

Perhaps your dislike of Steam is clouding your judgement. There are lots and lots of games where you can buy it through Steam and will then need to run it through Steam, or you can buy the same game at retail or another digital distributor and NOT have to run it through Steam. They are 'Steam...

That's the decision of the publisher, not Valve.

The man is an evil genius!!!

Is about 2% of the entire Civ V playerbase. Hardly something to hang your hat on.

Does Anno 1404: Dawn of Discovery come close to what you're looking for? I know it's more of a city builder/trading game and pretty empire-lite but a pretty fun game nonetheless.

Yes, you should have used sarcasm tags. On another note, If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.

Still not seeing how that quote even remotely does this: 'then you judge the community on whether or not we were worthy of reading your enlightened views?' How is he judging the community on whether or not they are 'worthy of reading (his) enlightened views'? He's only stating that there...

Mhmm...not seeing it. Can you quote it please?
