    Poll: Have Cocoa-gate made you less likely to buy another game from firaxis ever?

    I am installing the thing now (after a year or so hike) did they put more x-com units to it? :lol: When I first read the news of BE I was so excited. As an old fan of Alpha centauri. I really liked the opening scene but from what I heard its not as immersive.

    "I see you have a lot of units near my borders..."

    Name a country who has borders with another and has not a substantial military presence near. Maintaining an army at mutual borders acts as a deterrent on its own. You don't have presidents asking each other every new years eve if they are going to war. (now they are...

    Civil War - Civ 3 - Removed from Civ4/5

    Its a case of: We didn't want to copy the same mechanics of our predecessors so we build out own, even if its more crappy.

    Is Alexander OP?

    In G&Ks I had Siam self destruct on my borders many times in the early game. Alexander on the other hand seemed never to go into 'passive' mode. In BNW neither of them attacks me early any more.

    Am I the only one who don't care about religion most o f the time?

    Cant count the times I had to (as If I didn't want to...that man gets on my nerves for some reason by his very existence in the game) stomp my boots over Selassie just to prevent him for getting a CV with his religious spreading.

    While the skeleton with a full painters job for a face is passing for style :lol: Not to mention none is easy, since all of them are dead or had nothing to do with the depiction of CiV. But to each his own I guess. Yeah I think that Catherine in CiV4 was the best female head ever in Civ...

    Is Alexander OP?

    That is not exactly right. You see an 80/60 influence can be overturned with a reasonable gold investment and a spy. A 200+/60 is nearly impossible to shift and demands a huge amount of spy effort and treasury dipping. Also you forget that your influence falls down every turn even with religious...

    Alexander ofc, but other than my bias, I would choose Sejong. That man was a model leader and more deserving of the title Great than them all.
