Flip side of this is a buff to Greece and Sweden who are likely to pick up more world congress votes.

Ah, that makes a bit more sense. I guess having had an objection raised, it's slightly difficult to ignore it. Shame though. To be honest I know next to nothing about these guys and would have learned at least a little bit from their inclusion. All I'm going to remember now is that they sure...

Have to say I find the whole situation rather odd. Not really sure why you'd ask permission from the people you think best represent a particular civ before including them in the game. Equally I'm a bit baffled by why consent would be withheld. I must have missed the debate in the Houses of...

For me the patch has made the difference between wanting to play the game and not, so I'm more than happy to acknowledge the improvements that have been made. I'm in the camp though, that thinks I paid for the game to be in at least this good a shape when it was released, so I don't think...

Really enjoyed that fella. Just a few more hours till us over the pond can get our grubby hands on the game and this has really whetted my appetite :goodjob:

Thanks for that, it gives me some hope that I'll be able to play. I'll see how the demo runs and go from there. :goodjob:

Hi all, Bit of a numpty when it comes to graphics cards. Was just wondering whether my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 is likely to work? All my other specs are above the minimum. Any advice appreciated.
