Question!!!!!!!

[Cade Foster]

Ok i have contact with all 16civ in my game. but i dont feel like clicking each of their names to see who has a new tech that i dont got yet. is their some option or some screen that will tell you who has a new tech without clicking each of them??? or am i just a lazy bastard hehe

 

[Zouave]

Nope. User interface sucks.

The tedium gets worse. . . wait until you get to the Modern Period and have to individually wake,move, and fortify a hundred units per turn from various town and cities.

Normally I do not agree with Zouave but this time he is 100% right.

 

[Qitai]

Same here. First time I would agree with Zouave 100%. I am getting sick of micromanagement, but yet can't resist doing it, knowing it reaps great benefit to check each turn.

 

[Zouave]

Speaking of micromanagement, the AI governors are too stupid to do anything but handle citizen moods. So we have to manage every city, also.

We asked long ago for such things as a GOOD user interface, or "rally points" for units. But we don't even have an easy way to wake all the units on one tile before using the 'J' command which Firaxis eventually got around to giving us after many complaints.

Bombardment is another test of our ability to endure extremes of tedium. This is why many of us never get to Modern War anymore - AND WHY WE NEEDED SCENARIOS SEVEN MONTHS AGO. With scenarios we could get right into a Modern War with manageable number of units.

As for user interface, if you want a real laugh wait until you have a 16 civ game in the Industrial era and you go to the Diplomacy screen and start checking MPP's ROP's, and who is allied to whom. All the crazy useless lines will look like a big bowl of spaghetti thrown against a wall.

Hey Firaxis, are you listening?
Not a chance.

Zouave, keep your ramblings within the topic of the thread. You've been behaving so well lately - I don't want to have to go playing Big Bad Mod again.

Hey i happen to like Zouave's ramplings he genrelly hits the nail on the head and i dont think anyone can disagree with him on most of what he says

 

[Maple]

Assassin's right, he answered the thread starter's question to the best of his ability, and now is giving more information. (Or he's just rambling, you're the mod )

 

[Gastric ReFlux]

Ramblings, or copy and paste?

 

[UofAzKid]

Um...the grass is green, the sun is warm. thankyou

 

[sabo]

Well it's not the first time I"ve agreed with Zouave, but I agree this time too..
