If you still need help after the 23rd of dec, I can dedicate a few hours - you made any progress so far?

Idea number 2: Custom quest (a la your really cool progenitor ruins quest) At some point in the game (turn 70~ on standard) have a quest pop-up for the player that provides some real immersion/interaction with the aliens on the map. Maybe per affinity, Harmony: Leash 5 non-colossal...

I have a simple idea. Add a difficulty level setting to the aliens (as a dropdown in game setup) where you have say - 3 levels: Easy Medium Hard The aliens' base strength and scaling strength increase with difficulty level, and on Hard you have a chance of aliens dropping Alien artifacts.

Krakens in my games eat my cruisers for breakfast, and my cities if I get careless :(

Every single game I play (Gemini/Soyuz/Apollo), I get AIs expanding waaaaaaay past 4 cities - are you playing on a very low difficulty?

I am using an Nvidia gtx 590 (3gig) with Windows 10 (64 bit, enterprise edition). Latest drivers. Had the loopback issue. Solved it by verifying game cache. Now I am getting another crash ~10 turns in to any game where my NVidia drivers stop responding and are recovered, but the CIV game...

JSJ - are you still having this crashing issue? I managed to resolve mine by installing some legacy Windows 10 Nvidia drivers - I think my card (gtx 590) is a bit out dated.

Try not to have too much fun dude :crazyeye: Or (god-forbid) some people might actually enjoy playing the game? I certainly do :)

For the nth time - explain your reasoning, why am I wrong? You are just being childish at this point. Now I'll directly quote the lead developers of BE: "One of my favorite parts about working in the Civilization codebase is that it's very stratified," says Miller. "There's Civilization 4...

I was trying to be polite but you continually do a fantastic job of somehow turning any discussion aggressive/in to an argument. What I said is not nonsense, and if you disagree with what someone has said - you need to provide evidence to the contrary - not simply tell someone they are wrong...

Then why do you spend so much time posting on a forum dedicated to BE? Clearly you do care enough to spend a fair amount of time discussing the game - so it is worth your time (?).

If you read what I said in my post I wasn't trying to convince you of anything, I was just trying help you have some slight resemblance of appreciation for the BE dev team. That article examples the introduction of the Victory Wonders, and how that particular problem was coded on top of the CiV...

Poor coding? Can you elaborate on that point please? I would have to assume you have deep knowledge of the Civ codebase to make a statement like that. Let me direct you to this, which is actually a fairly in depth interview with Will/David about the software development lifecycle of BE. Give...

I have only had one challenge on Apollo since BERT was released, an Elodie went insane and had like triple the score of everyone else by turn 120. Oh wait lol I just rushed 6/6 hybrid units and roflstomped 10 of her cities. :goodjob:

Just so you know I eagerly check this thread every day ^_^
