Thurderfall, I'm not personally attacking you... But doesn't it seem a bit crazy to expect people to HAVE to upgrade their graphics cards beyond what the devs already specified for this game? When are the devs going to realize that they have to write cleaner software and that simply requiring...

Anyone know of this patch will work with Direct 2 Drive? Or are we going to have to wait for d2d to put out this patch?

You have to be able to win to enjoy the game. Right now that doesn't happen. Either you set the AI so low that you can beat them with your eyes closed and the game is just "produce another calvery." This isn't winning cause it was too easy. OR the AI cheats and can beat you getting tech...

Don't worry about the mixup...:goodjob: You are right in saying that the chances, right now, of it changing are slim. I'm a free market capitalist to the core, so I know that trying to "enforce" standards on the gaming industry will not help. The only sure fire way to get the quality to...

Exactly! The previewers (aka the guys who get sneek peaks and see the game before its officially released) are only there to check out the eye candy and overview the game features. They can't give an honest representation of the game's true gameplay though simply because it isn't yet finished...

You want to know why the gaming industry is producing more unfinished games? Simple - Cause you, me, and everyone is buying them that way. Look, its easy to understand. The developers are out there to make money. Its the only reason to go into business. The consumers are out there for...

Finally, someone who has the right idea... Its called Colaterial Damage.

Well if you play pangea or archepelio, you are playing on earth.

But when you can model things like the effects of inflation, a new idea which was discovered in the modern age, in a game, you should be able to model combat, something that has happened since the beginning of time and vitally important to societies growing and falling, in a better manner...

You just given an example of the far end of the spectrum though. I was much more happy when units had attack and defend bonuses in Civ3 because you could strategically place units for defense or attack. Promotions to that type of attack/defense rating combat could have added to a great combat...

This whole relationship thing in Civ4 is wacky. Usually i'm not the diplomatic type. I prefer to kick AI butt and take over the world. However, when I feel like trying to make people happy, I find it is hard to judge what will make people mad and what will make people happy. Early on in...

Wow, they actually want you to do that? Give them the bird and build an army. Screw the UN :king:! Usually I keep serfdom so that the improvements build lightning quick. I'll keep this civic the whole game. Because you can trade for +1 heath food items or take them from your neighbors, I...

So by simply turning off the "Time" Victory, can you continue past 2050AD? I tried turning off the "Time Victory" once but it started to count down the terns at 1950AD like usual, so I quit. So does it really work or do you need a mod to make the game continue past 2050AD?

See it gets even better when you are playing multiplayer and on a team. You could have been the only civ working on that religion, but your team mate will get the holy city. Usually it is the farthest from your capital city or other city of significant production importance (usually the...

I dled the patch. I didn't get any of the install issues I was reading about for other people. However, I haven't gotten a chance to play the game yet.... Dang college...
