What I have noticed is that ever since the guy who jumped ship to Stardock left the Civ5 project, Civ5 have kept getting better and better with each patch (another one due out very soon). Coincidence? :hmm:

Coincidence that a game gets better when patched?  No, that's what patches are supposed to do.

Tell P'dox that.

Usually, P'Dox patches do make things better.  It's the expansions that break everything.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'll have a new gaming PC soon. This piece of shit not sucking yet? Has Kael fixed it?
PDH!

Short recap: they have abandoned this game.

They're still working on patches, but main focus is on Fallen Enchantress which will come out, oh, some time next year. Maybe.

That is bad news.  I bought it early on thinking I was supporting a promising innovative game designer but I have been disappointed with the results.

Those who bought it early will get Fallen Enchantress for free, so you didn't waste your money (assuming FE is any good).

So I see that the Fallen Enchantress beta comes out tomorrow.  Syt / Tamas, please try and report.

Darth Wagtaros

God Tamas, just don't regurgitate that fanboi crap again.  I'd be interested in trying it if you give it to us straight.
PDH!

This is getting REALLY old you know. :P This is the crappiest "game" ever.

ulmont

Yeah, but what about the expansion or upgrade or whatever it is they did?

Well, this Fallen Enchantress thing won't be available until late night my time. I will take a look because I want to mock them for failing again utterly. Unless they drastically overhaul EVERYTHING they have no chance, and even then, graphics would be lifeless and sucky.

I did also have a look on the last patch the base game received not so long ago. Improvements were clear but still the game was full of boredom.
