Anyone have the misfortune of buying Civ 4 Gold? It is horrible.
First off, it installs into a directory other than normal , apparently. Instead of c:\Firaxis.... its C:\2K Games\Firaxis. Fine, my problem for not looking. I could do without 2k Advertising on my computer... but my fault for not paying attention.. looks like another half hour install coming up while switching discs in and out like crazy
Second, No Shortcuts.... At All.... In the Start Menu. Aside from creating your own, you have no choice but to go into the directory and find the app itself. Popping in the CD doesnt help as it defaults to Warlords.
Third, NO mods at all seem to work. All of the 5 mods ive tried to load crashed the game. Even betterAI crashes it.
Fourth, Civ 4 Vanilla is borked, bad! It cant even load its own Mods right. I try loading America Revolution..... app restarts... Play now! is grayed out. I click Play Scenario..... it's all the same scenarios as default mod. How exactly am I supposed to play this sh!t?
Fifth, CDs? Is this the 1990s??? The put a damn spindle of CDs in here rather than do a little work and merge it into one DVD. Shoddy, 2k, very shoddy
Pretty freakin peeved
