My earliest civ 4 memory was Provost Harrison coming round my house to read the civilopedia when the game was released

my anecdotal evidence suggests a strong correlation between your rank and the rank of the people you end up matched with. When I play popular modes at peak time I am consistently matched with other prestige players however when I join my low ranking friends game in progress the game is...

the automatching tends to pair you up with people around the same rank as you, although there are ways around it. I fight people of a similar skill level to me and feel my rank is justified as I have earnt it. Company of heroes had a quick match system which paired you up with others of...

Princescamp, My post you quoted was reply to the post immediately preceding it so I didnt feel the need to include a quote box. You really should try special ops though. Im not sure how well it would work on PC, but consoles are perfect for local multiplayer madness and it works beautifully...

I think we must be talking about different things. The campaign is linear, and on regular difficulty you can pretty much run and gun your way through it. The checkpoint and quick reload system lets you blast through it if you come unstuck. The sub base mission (contingency) was a mare to get...

did you get them right first time, or did you have to adapt your tactics through trial and error? did you change your weapons and use the variety that was available to you? Im not going to argue that battling ten enemies that randomly spawn in a fixed map isnt linear, but it certainly requires...

One guy in a ac 130 providing cover fire for a guy running through CoD4 mission blackout...whats not to love??

The game does 3 things, , SP, seperate co-op missions and MP. The opening menu is split up like that even. If youre going to play all the game they made then its way more than 10 hours

I think inflation (roads, rushing cost) is based on which age you are in

Civ 3 and Civ 4 implemented corruption systems to combat REX. Civ Rev has done away with these. A 2-3 pop city for 20 hammers and 1 pop (under republic) is a very good deal. Has the age of REX returned? How do we defend against it without resorting to REX ourselves?

I play xbox and the leaderboards are broken to hell, with not registering wins and losses properly. Add that to crashes when you are winning and ragequitting when the RNG goes against you. You would be best served by going to sleep at night warm in the memory of crushing your enemies, seeing...

Not as silly as pikemen defeating fighter planes. I was showing a new guy the ropes and he was WTF. The pikes couldnt stop the nuke though :devil:

they dont shoot them down that regularly in 3.13. if your fighters are being attacked by jet fighters then youve got bigger problems to worry about
