Pet Peeve Poll

[Ozymandius]

Don't get me wrong here. I love the game, playing it almost day long while blessed by retirement. There are certain annoying features that lessen the enjoyment of this game for me.
1) The Domestic advisor states ad nauseum: Previous terrain enhancement warning... requires two clicks .. should be able to toggle this one off.

2) F3 crash... on 1.21f patch looking up my military by F3 results in at least two crashes per week.

3) Jumping ORDERS ICONS: when giving instructions to my workers I just push the icons for roads or irrigation. When a worker cannot perform these tasks, the build fortress ICON replaces the previous button. I'm not looking at the icons, just the map location. Firaxis should freeze the location.

4) Slower saves/retrieves than 1.7.

I'm sure there are others who have their own peeves but these top my list

I voted for the terrain enhancement warning, but what really annoys me is that disband worker warning, especially when you take an AI's city and there is 10+ workers inside that you don't want.

 

[Ozymandius]

Why would you want to disband all that free labour? I know they work only half as fast but they still help buid roads & RRs free. Your own workers cost one gold per turn. You could also add them to your cities to build up happy score.

You may won't to disband workers if you don't expect to be able to prevent the AI to retake them. Making a suicidal dash with that outdated Cavalry unit or whatever to capture and disband that huge stack of AI workers isn't a bad trade.

 

[Ozymandius]

That's nothing but ethnic cleansing. You should be ashamed of yourself. What happened to the long tradion of economically useful slaves. It is much more civilized behaviour.

AS the Last Conformist you must have been told that you are unique just like everybody else.

NOT BEING ABLE TO WAKE UP AN ENTIRE STACK! ARGH!

I hope I'm missing something here, but I HATE doing that ONE unit at a TIME!

Yea, That sucks. It is also a pain to not have "rally points" where all activated units from different cities can automatically go to.

That is one pet peeve - Part One of SEVERAL HUNDRED.

 

[Ozymandius]

I agree to both of those as well... tedious stacks and no rally points. Perhaps a moderator could come along and edit the poll. It would be nice to have a poll listing improvements we could vote for.... like a list of 100 peeves and we can pick any 10 for inclusion in Firax patch 3.1f

 

[bobgote]

Yep, I agree too. A couple of features like that really annoy me.

Unability to use 'j' move to load units on Transport - damn annoying when I am loading 64 Modern Armor to 8 Transports all BY HAND!

A close second: unability to wake stack.
