Has anyone heard of Master of Orion III?
Stardock are Gods by comparison!

I was just remembering last night that I played a Galaxy-conquest RTS called Star Wars Rebellion Star Wars Rebellion

Wow...

Get with the lingo.

Don't tell me what to do, you're not my father. And until you can learn enough manners to not use language like that with a total stranger on a public website I really don't think you should be teaching anyone anything. Thank you for your time.

Do not double post.
Do not triple post.
There is an edit button for a fucking reason.

And again.

You know those vulcans perfectionist over at Ironclad, they wont set it out until they are satisfied that it will work!
Way to go

Here's my own lingo answer to you, Mister Moralizing Man :


  

Yea ... don't double post.

And don't triple post.

LOL

MOO3, OMG, that was nothing but a spread-sheet program. I was waiting for that game for over a year, and when it came out, we actually had a Lan party here (catered). We ended up crying in our beer. What a disaster. And Heroes of Might and Magic 5, looks great, but even after all the patches, not one of my friends or I have ever been able to finish one MP game, lan or online. There should be some kind of law, seriously, the condition some games are released in, if they were cars, the wheels would fall off. . .

Don't you think, then, that all turn-based, space-empire 4X games remain vulnerable to your very valid « spread-sheet » criticism ?

Waiting for Sins 1.04 to be released, I'm playing some GalCiv 2 Twilight of the Arnor, and some Lost Empire Immortals ...

... and I do often feel that I'm mostly managing a spread-sheet, and that the computer players are soooo much more competent than me when doing that.

That's the feeling I always got when I tried the various GalCiv 2 versions :

That A.I. management, under the hood, was very well programmed to be very efficient & competitive ... and that I wasn't as good because I did not know what were the optimal management recipes.

GalCiv 2 is far more pretty to look at than MOO 3 ... but I get as much bored : they all feel like spread-sheets.

I don't get that spreadsheet-management feeling when I play Sins.

In what concerns, Heroes of Might & Magic 5, since I only play SP, my version 3.0 never crashes, and my videocard is powerful enough to make the game look very good on my 19-inch widescreen (@ 1440 X 900).

Like I said on another thread, I'm a « graphics whore » :
I don't mind if HM&M 5 has a mediocre A.I. -- it looks sooooo gorgeous.

No way, then, will I go back to HM&M 3's 2D ... even if the A.I. was far more competent.

I have high hopes for Sins 1.04 : tired of waiting ... but I realize that they want to release a quality update -- next week.

yep bought one but it died after three days without food i think gluing it to the screen was a bad idea

forget a clock...a calendar is better..would be awesome to know how long your empire has been around.

I could never figure out why people are so desperate for an in-game clock. The devs aren't your bloody mothers. By desperately groping for such insertions, you only call attention to your own pathological inability to balance games with your own lives. The person who pointed out their RL clock is totally correct. Good grief, people, would you like the game to change your colostomy bags while doing other RL-management things?

Wait, don't answer that.
