Honestly bro, I don't care that you love Civ 5 and still play it. Some of us feel cheated and just want to get some amusement out of our $50, so please stop the pointless defence of its flaws in every other topic and let us take the piss in peace. It's pretty simple really, if you like it, don't...

20. Weapons don't work on boats. 21. If your army wins a battle, all your dead soldiers come back to life. 22. Grass is more nutritious than mutton or beef 23. The most destructive weapon ever invented is a two legged robot that kills its enemies with beams of light.

I just had a quick look at the credits: 37 artists 6 graphics programmers 3 audio programmers 2 AI programmers Sounds about right. :lol:

Shafter says he wanted 1UPT because of all these old hex games he played when he was a kid. I might be wrong, but all those games had the worst AI imaginable. I remember one Panzer General game going so bad, that all the AI units started going in the wrong direction!

They have an eastern culture, practice eastern religions, eat mainly eastern food, speak an eastern language, and geographically, couldn't be any more eastern. How do you figure they are westerners? Their love of baseball?

Kublai Khan was leader of China. :smug:

I think Firaxis has gone with great leaders this time. People who have done great things for their countries. Hitler and Stalin were disasters. Hitler's civ only lasted 20 odd years and caused only misery for his people. Far more deserving Germans than him.

According to Shafter, the AI receives no happiness bonus: :lol:

Someone sure is crabby at the moment. One thread was praising Civ 5 while another praised Civ 4. The third was about changing opinions good or bad. Can't understand the mods reasoning. :undecide:

Civ 4 was designed from the beginning for multiplayer in mind. This makes sense when you think about it. Until the programmers finished the AI, the game still needs to be played and tested with no AI (a multiplayer). Multiplayer is not a feature you can simply take on at the end. Looks to me...

I played it for a week and have been patiently waiting for it to be fixed. Instead Firaxis just tweak the unit and social policy values. We could do that ourselves! When it was announced that Civ 5 was using Steam, I couldn't understand why so many people were complaining about it. I'm slowly...

Mate, I said I was angry with myself. Let it go.

:lol:

Seriously? Do they actually forbid you from from giving away the rights to play a game that you have just purchased? :confused: I've uninstalled the game, and since I don't have any other Steam games, won't be using the account again. I'll recommend to the buyer that he changes the...

Yes there was a few compatibility problems was certain graphics cards but that isn't unusual. There was a couple of small game play tweaks and bug fixes but nothing game breaking. And yes that Baby Yeti music was definitely cheesy. But apart from that, I really enjoyed playing it, and didn't...
