10 reasons why I won't buy BTS

[Colossian]

1. No new maps
2. No fix for Air and Naval unit warfare
3. No fix for Unit production cost (it's too low)
4. No graphic speed enhancement
5. No better AI
6. No new tile improvements (ex. Land/Water minefield, No new resources, etc)
7. No new religions
8. No new civics
9. No support Win-Lose-Dis system for Multiplayers (Unofficial Ladder report system is ridiculous)
10. No new patch for Warlords

P.S.
11. No CANADA

 

[LightSpectra]

Okay.

Think you could stop posting on the BtS board, then?

 

[Grishnash]

5. No better AI

There is better AI in BtS.
Everything else.... There is better AI in BtS.

 

[cf_nz]

2, 3: These aren't broken. If you don't like the design decision, hard luck.

5: The AI is being improved.

 

[Angst]

Read this thread.

 

[Grimus]

???

1. Scenarios... random map generator

2. More promotions... more units

3. Don't know what to say for this one, never knew it was a problem to some... mod it?

4. I hope this is improved upon myself with all the new additions

5. The AI is greatly improved... they'll even go for culture victories now

6. I don't think there is... but forts have been improved greatly for example

7. Why more religions? They're all the same, seems to be more than enough of them. Also, one word... Corporations.

8. Nope, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

9. That's a shame for Multiplayers

10. Probably because so much work has been put into BtS... move on to bigger, better things!


Anyway, if you don't want to buy the next expansion... that's your problem, errr, I mean decision. Heck, you bought Warlords even, why wouldn't you get this latest one?

1. No new maps

Wrong. There are new maps. It was announced, there will be new map types

2. No fix for Air and Naval unit warfare

Wrong again. Air warfare has been changed, and there has been an increase of naval units, which will need to guard the new trade routes.

3. No fix for Unit production cost (it's too low)

Im not sure, but can't you just play epic or marathon length games, or mod some files for yourself?

4. No graphic speed enhancement

Sorry, if your computer sucks. But thats your problem. My Civ runs great.

5. No better AI

As already noted, wrong again. Blake's better AI is included.

7. No new religions

Firaxis has found that 7 religions is the optimal number. Marginal use from adding an eighth is minute.

9. No support Win-Lose-Dis system for Multiplayers (Unofficial Ladder report system is ridiculous)

I don't know anything about multiplayer.

10. No new patch for Warlords

Why care? You'd be playing BtS, not Warlords.

Points 6 and 8 are valid. I myself would not want more tile improvements (6) though. I remember in Civ3 Conquests, the new tile improvements and types were just annoying (marshes).

Try reading Methos' BtS info thread, cause many of your points are right on there.

EDIT: looks like I was to late, and other noted my arguements for me..

 

[Underdawg]

Anyone hear that?

The sound of the thread being shot down into the ground.

 

[Quagga]

Your statement has been noted. Accordingly, Firaxis has scaled back its sales expectations by one unit. This will figure in their quarterly earnings report. Ouch!

 

[mice]

I bet you will buy it eventually

[Fanaza]

I think he's joking, guys. Nobody can be this stupid.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I won't buy BTS because I despise Civ IV with a passion known to very few.

 

[Phoenix1595]

Another whining thread? Am I the only one out there who thinks this is the best xpack ever? Am I?

Um... new religions? What else do you want? Scientology? A lot of dumb complaints if you ask me.

 

[Ramesses 3000]

#1: You're a crybaby.
#2: You expected them to change the core of the game.
#3: You're a whiner.
#4: You wanted a game overburdened with superfluous garbage.
#5: You didn't read enough about all the features they did improve.
#6: Uh, you get the idea by now.

Bye Colossian. Won't miss you.
