Do you reload and replay?

[norwegianviking]

I was just glancing over that cheating thread (okay so I was actively posting on it) and I just thought there should be a poll for it. Please don't close this down moderators, the other one just got a little out of hand (I'M SORRY!!!).
This time I want no one going wacko, or this things going to be closed before it gets to post 5!!!

 

[Flintlock]

I already posted this in the cheating thread (along with some spam), but I'll post it again.
Yup, I reload too often, after bad starts or bad espionage mission. Especially, however, after misclicks. Like accidentally giving 400gpt instead of lump sum (that actually happened to me, BTW) I don't, however, reload after battles. Nope. Never.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Really only for starting locations. If it's war, or something, I pretty much play it out. I like to keep my games interesting.

Some day I should turn my autosaves off...but I like having them there. Just in case. (But I can beat Emperor without reloading, so it's not that big of an issue. If it's my first time on a difficulty level, I try not to).

 

[Gainy]

Used to do it all the time (Ie battles, goodie huts, bad happenings, etc). Then I cut it down to only really bad things, and for the past 16 months or so, I have completely stopped. I will reload occasionaly, but a few turns later I feel bad and stop playing the game. I just don't feel like I earned what I got

CfC helped a lot with stopping me reloading. I'll vote no...

 

[The Last Conformist]

I don't reload. I fail to see the point.

 

[norwegianviking]

I wonder where slozenger and SoWhat3 are, they sided with it before the cheating thread was closed down yesterday...

 

[Tomoyo]

...it was closed down? I thought it was sent up to the great forum in the sky, where mods are plentiful, spammers don't exist, flamers are extinguished, and trolling is only a faint memory.

 

[viper275]

If it is a bad start or a fingerslip that causes a major problem. Otherwise, no.

 

[norwegianviking]

By the responce on the cheating thread I thought some people would choose yes, or maybe you guys are all lying!!!

 

[Cataphract887]

should you not assume honesty?it seems the nice thing to do,other than calling everyone liars...

and i reload,but not in civ3 ever,because it loads so slow.in other games,but only if it has a fast sav loader

 

[AA-battery]

I refuse to live the cheating thread again. I vote no but no comment.

 

[norwegianviking]

Still regretting the cheating thread? I wisht the moderator would have given us a warning... but let's not talk about that!

 

[citizen001]

I sometimes reload for analysis of missed opportunities and chances, but otherwise it's cheating.

 

[Cu Chulainn]

It depends, really. I'll reload to undo honest mistakes, misclicks and the like, but not for intentional things that don't go my way.

 

[Moss]

No, unless you count starting a new game?

Usually after I've hopelessly lost, I quit before suffering humiliating defeat.

 

[DBear]

I used to, when I started. Now I realize that if I ever want to move up from Regent to Monarch, I should play with no reloads. I think that has improved my game.

 

[Rammstein]

I have done so a few times when I have committed a really really stupid mistake - but I usually spot it right away and restart the very next turn. If I make a fatal mistake I usually just end the game and start a new one. I'm too impatient.

 

[Masquerouge]

Yeah, I usually reload if I loose a city because of my stupidity. Like I forgot to move my defense, or upgrade my troops.
But if, after reloading, I still loose the city, then I don't reload.
And I reload also when I pop the goody hut right next to my starting city and kaboom ! barbs.

 

[King Alexander]

Yes, I reload if I misclick and send my units/settler in another tile than that I wanted to, or if I accidentally gift a tech or if I pay huge gpt instead of bying the tech, or if my start is in huge jungle/tundra(and in the case of huge jungle, if I'm playing a non-industrious civ I'll be doomed).

Basically, I could keep playing if my start is really bad but I play a low level, but in higher levels that could be a suicide, but it really depends on my mood if I want to continue playing a bad start on a high level.

Also, I don't understand why all this "taboo" about reloading: I'm not playing to show others that I'm a "honorable" player and all that that I find imature - I myself know what I stand in real life and I don't need to prove anyone anything.

Sometimes I want to play for joy and I'll reload for a better start, sometimes I want to keep playing a really bad situation in the game no matter what although the other civs are slaughtering me - depends on my mood.

 

[xerxes jones]

yes

but i've only played two or three games. so i needed some training wheels.
i won the two games that i took to the modern age. next time I won't reload at all.

so maybe i should have voted no.
