Look Hydro I can see what you're wanting to accomplish and so far I've eventually come over to you're way of thinking on many things, "After" some compromising from you and much "kicking and screaming" from me.
There was once a time in RoM when you (plural) (I) got things going just right and the Mod flowed and each turn was things clicking and falling into place. I have not felt that way for sometime now with C2C.
It's more and more tedium. For ex. I've got an AI on my border with 129 units sitting in his border city just waiting for me to flinch. But instead of building up my forces and duking it out with him, I'm trying to see what's left in the build que to quell the rising
or Crime or pollution or Unhappiness, or whatever. I can't get focused caused I'm getting pulled in too many directions.
Does this make any sense to you, do you see my frustration? Am I reaching a saturation point? Should I be reaching a saturation point? Shouldn't I instead see the challenge and embrace it? Why Does it "bother" me? It is after all you alls work and effort and ideas. I'm just an old critic who's lost something he can't quite put his finger on to pin it down. And just out to make your life harder I guess?
