Um no. They're totally going the wrong way with their development time. There was this thing invented a ways back. It's called Internet. Sid should look into it, it's pretty fricken slick. I'm still pissed that we're on the 5th version of the game and the game still can't save the...

I give it an F. It's incomplete. Not only is it incomplete, the reason it's incomplete is because carefully selected elements of previous games have been removed with the intent to add it later as purchasable add on content. Sid Meier is no longer an honest man. I won't buy another...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Blue_%28chess_computer%29 Deep Blue beat the best chess player in the world at that time and guess what happen. The human said the computer cheated... Also, it's worth mentioning that the rules for chess haven't changed since it's inception. Unlike Civ...

Starcraft II and nearly every Blizzard game for that matter. Releasing games unfinished with the expectation that players will ignore the shortcomings because "every game is made this way" is <snip>. The only reason games are released in unfinished/broken states is greed. The gaming industry...

I'm glad you guys like the idea. The problem with which unit in the stack actually attacks/defends, etc: I also had an idea dealing with ordered combat. What I mean by that is players conduct all their combat moves before resolution of combat. If you've ever played the board game Axis and...

I propose a simple solution to add an exciting combat dynamic to the game. It is a compromise between the old stacking system and the new one unit per tile. How to handle stacking: Each tile has a "max load" stat which represents how many units it can support without overcrowding. (You can...

I use world builder to destroy unwanted roads. Reason? Because I'm the boss and I'm a minimalist. -E

Food for thought. If you declare war on someone and THEN they become friends with someone else, that someone else will still get -1 towards you for declaring war on thier friend. How nice is that? Seems like you get many more negative modifiers than positive ones. That's something I...

It's debatable that anyone's actually ever been to the moon. -E

lol, you guys are reviewing a review. It's just his opinion, he's entitled to it. -E

This same thing is happening to a friend of mine in his game. Huge world, the works. Whenever he tries to trade maps the game locks up. So he played anyway and made it to about 1990 or so and he's at a point where he absolutely NEEDS to see the map to continue. Other civs are getting closer...

Woot! I win! -E

OMG, give it up people. If the year of the game is, let us say, 1980 and you're rolling a tank up on a city defended by a spearman it's not exactly a feather-dressed unit of half-naked guys running around with ancient spears anymore. The actual spearman unit is just a representation of modern...

Canadians? What's that all aboot? -E
