    Media wonders why Russians don't smile so much

    I figure lack of smiles comes from a hard life in many cases. Looking at older pictures, smiles were not common in the U.S.A. just a few generations ago. Between hard living and bad teeth, smiles were just not as prevalent as they are today. And honestly, I don't trust a smiling stranger. I...

    What do you wear to work?

    T-shirt and jeans most days. Got to have stuff on that can get dirty with handling freight. If a client is coming around, I'll mix in a polo-type shirt. For sales calls, full suit and tie. Fortunately, I rarely do sales calls these days.

    Axxon's Guide to All You Want To Know About REF, Rebel Sentiment and Revolution

    Thanks for posting this info, Axxon! I've been playing this game for a couple of weeks (didn't have a gaming cpu when it was released, so I'm very late in getting it), and I've been struggling to find the balance. Now that I understand the mechanics of liberty bells, I think I can have a much...

    update XBOX 360

    The 360 has not had a patch update. There is DLC with the code you get from your purchase. You redeem at the website mentioned on the coupon and put the code into your Live account prior to starting the game. The DLC is some extra wonders and stuff.

    HistographSymbols

    No doubt. I'm beginning to think that the developers don't have a clue what they mean, either. The game has only been out a month and they still can't answer this very basic question. I am very disappointed in their inability to tell us players what is up.

    So... how does the computer pump out so many armies?

    I think the cpu tends to trade tech with each other a lot more than it does with the human player, especially at higher levels. And I think the cpu does not attack each other as much as they tend to gang up on the human player. With the cpu getting tech trades, it doesn't have to spend...

    All Games Seems To Be The Same

    A lot of the depth found in Civ II-IV is gone with Rev. I've played a couple of dozen games now with Rev, and while it's certainly not a bad game, it is easily my least favorite version simply because it does become rather tedious and a bit shallow. Without diplomacy, the art of war is simply...

    Why is the AI so useless at attacking..

    I think the AI is lousy at attacking anything other than the human player (even then there is no strategy in the AI, just throw unit after unit at you with no sense of a plan). I have seen the AI at war with itself, but have units pass by each other without attacking. What is up with that...

    Patch 1.20 To Be Released Soon [Released 8/1]

    I have not been able to confirm if there is a patch released for the 360 version of Rev. Even the front page of CivFanatics mentions the PS3 update, but it mentions nothing about the status or release of the 360 one.

    So what are you loving? Not loving?

    I'm beginning to agree with you. I started a Civ IV game and realized how much was missing from Rev.

    1 Nuke only?

    Us console gamers would never comprehend more than one nuke. ;)

    Patch 1.20 To Be Released Soon [Released 8/1]

    Was the update to the 360 version automatic? I have been playing the game every day while logged into Live and there has been no update for me. :confused:

    Patch 1.20 To Be Released Soon [Released 8/1]

    How do you know which version you have? Most Xbox Live updates automatically install when you load your game and are logged into Live. These updates install and re-start the game. It is obvious. This has not happened with Civ:Rev, though. So how do I know which version I have and if my...
