Poorly Developed Game

I agree as well. It's funny how when you try to make an honest critique of a game the "Bible Thumpers" come out in full force and attack anything you say. Intelligent or not. I have been playing Civ since it's inception, Civ 3 has a great future as soon as the developers get thier heads out of thier proverbial asses that is.

Speaking of proverbial asses hey Libertarian how 'bout you....... Bah, never mind.
 
You know, I've been actually thinking if one were to build a new combat system then how to make it better and logical.

I think I came up with a good system/set of rules, but unfortunately since I'm no programmer I can't even give it a shot.

I'm also hesitant to post it (not just here, on *any* forum) 'cos I'd be instantly categorized as either :

a) an unpleasable whiner
b) a pussy without redemption that just wants an easy game.

And the sad thing is that the system is, by all means, logical and has common sense.

But you know how it is...the minute the hounds see a topic called 'A suggestion for a new combat system' they're on to you fast. :(

Peace...
 
Wow, that is an excellent point, what does happen when they release multiplayer??????? The game is unplayable without the editor.... well its playable but govs have no differences etc...!
I hope they do change some stuff before multiplayer, this game is great after you fix problems in the editor like govs, corruption for communism etc...!!!

And the aircraft carrier... In history only one carrier has been taken out, I dont think the carrier should have a high attack rate, but a defense of 8 means that an iron clad could take it, I boosted the defense to 14, this way destroyers and battleships are needed to take it out.
 
I advise you to take the time to read my quick posts if you wish to post here.

I searched the rules and guidelines thoroughly and could find no mention of any requirement that we endure the pain of reading your posts in order to qualify for posting ourselves. A more pleasant experience than reading posts from the Whiners might be inflicting ourselves from head to toe with paper cuts and dousing ourselves with gasoline.

I posted the strategy because it works for me. It might work for others as well. But neither it nor any other strategy will work for people who've already made up their minds that they're failures at the game.

Decisions guide actions.

shall I go on.... EA sports games.....Need for Speed.


I work in software..I know good software when I see it. This one needs some work. Anyways I just want to point out things so they make them better.

C&C isn't all that, seen one mission seen 'em all. I must admid, when the first C&C came out I enjoyed it, but how many clones have to come out of one game before you quit playing them?
EA Sports games suck! Have you seen the goalkeepers from the FIFA series? 25-17 just isn't a soccer score. Than about Need For Speed. Ever played Gran Turismo? probably not since you find NFS a good race game.
Well I'm just glad you weren't in the Civ3 team, cause it seems to me you don't know good software when you see it.

I think that Hydrogen peroxide would be more painful than gasoline.


I guess I fail to understand the difference between whiners and legitamet issues with the software. Your definintion of a whiner appears to be: Anyone who points out flaws and then remarks on them.

The goal of these posts is to point out issues that exisist with the software. Issues that detract from the overall enjoyment of gameplay. We draw attention to these issues in hopes that they (developers) will regard our opinions and implement the suggested "enhancements" that would satisfy a larger group of people (the ones who post and play and are part of this forum). I beleive that some of the features that take away from the overall satisfation of the game have been stated above.

I will be the first to admit that some of my posts are not worth reading. Just like some of yours.

I have completed an enitre game for your information and have won a number of diffrent ways. The game can be played with any tactic the player wishes (not saying you have bad tactics), however you cannot deny the fact that when a unit of lesser military ingenuity defeats your prized technologicaly advanced unit, an undeniable wave of disbelief and frustration washes over you. Or how about when you click the presicion strike button and you find the only cities you can target are your own. Hmm... I guess I will just have develop a new strategy to compensate for this lack of functionality.

I must say that I was not commenting on how good or bad you think the mentioned games are. Rather on the fact that these games that are mentioned do not have any functional issues that stop you from doing things like….scoring goals, passing cars, killing units of lesser strength, losing to units of lesser strength or clicking buttons that do nothing.

Certainly was not commenting on wether or not the games were fun to play or not:D

The games mentioned work well and are put together nicely.
 
:cry: I'm so sick you whiners going on and on about how <boo-hoo> bad the game is. Does the game have its flaws? Yes. But it's still a totally time consuming, engrossing, stimulating game. I'd rather have Sid release it now so I can play and learn it while waiting for the upgrade than have to wait another six months to play it at all. If you don't like it, put it away and get your Frogger game back out so you can arcade yourself to happiness until the fixes are all in place.

Deal with it or pi$$ off.
Shemp :smoke:
 
Well, you're also probably the same kind of person that would take a half-baked, still gooey pizza, just because you're hungry NOW, so....

;)

Peace...
