1. Get the AI to haggle, if you can. You never get a counter offer from the AI. 2. Doesn't matter, as long as well defined victory conditions are in place. 3. Variability is the best trait of 4x games. You don't won't to get stuck doing the same thing over and over again. There should be no "ultimate" strategy to win. I'm still playing Civ V, but you can count on the AI players to do the same thing over and over again. Victories, other than a military vic

I fell for the hype and pre-ordered SimCity 5 Digital Deluxe. I had such great expectations for a game I have enjoyed since the mid-90's. The game still doesn't work without downloading mods from 3rd party developers (bless them all). EA killed a beloved franchise, and it's not the first or the last. When the new Dragon Age came out last Fall I almost bit again, but no more. Anything with EA stamped on it is banned from my house. No more of my money, and more importantly, time, wi

If I build a starbase in proximity to a relic and I don't have a planet within the zone of influence of that starbase, do I still get the effects of that relic? What about mining starbases? Will I get the commodity mined if a planet is not within that starbase's ZOI?

Yes! Finally! Getting better all the time. I'll have Steam up early tomorrow.

When??? I just had another crash to desktop!

Oh, is that what happened? I opened the game and I got the load screen, like a new version had been downloaded, but when I looked at the version number it said .50.

Has it come out yet? I haven't seen it yet and it's 14:00 EDT here.

Ship upgrades are currently free. Is this a bug?

The game was getting real choppy before the crash. Memory issue? I'll reboot and try to continue from my last autosave and see how long it will run.

Holy smokes, now what do I do? Peace has broken out and their are half a dozen ways to win. Just like the good ol' days.

Did the UP pass the law protecting virgin planets?

First crash with the new Beta2. I'm trying to launch the colony ship from the Earth shipyard. A window opens to load the ship. When I try to click on 'Done' nothing happens, the game is frozen.

DOWNLOADING!

I'm leaving Steam open, hoping to see the progress bar start up for an update. It has been very quiet in here though, must be everyone else is doing the same thing.

Let's go!

Camelot. Because it is a silly place.

I think there are plans for DLC that will bring in Dread Lord artifacts.

These are the same notes from last week. Did it take two downloads to implement these changes?

Are there any notes anywhere about today's update?

I couldn't get mine to eject.

Damn traitors. Death is to good for them. Read them some Vogon poetry instead.

I was assaulting a system that had 4 Drengin controlled planets. I conquered one and left 2 Paladins in orbit. Before my succeeding transports could arrive, the just conquered planet flipped back to Drengin control. I guess this was due to higher influence. However, the 2 ships I had left behind in orbit, were still there, but I could not move them. Subsequently, when another transport arrived I was unable to attack the planet, I couldn't even put the transport in orbit. The game behaved

Dev stream today?

Throat punch!
