    Civilization V !!!WARNING!!!

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    If you liked Civilization IV you’ll most likely hate Civilization V.

    Aside from being super slow even on the top of the line gaming computers, Civ. V is also extremely buggy and sometimes even crashes. You can forget about any map that is larger than small, no matter how many AI players you chose. Once the map begins filling up with cities, the game will freeze up. All in all the game is broken and seems rushed. I’ll bet some jacka$$ MBA graduate said, “Not done? ... So what? ... We need cash now!! ... Send it out anyway.” I for one am disappointed with what (IMO) is a steaming turd ball with little resemblance to what was once a well rounded and enjoyable series of Civ. Games. :mad:

    Map editor elevations?

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Posted

    You guys weren't kidding when you said this is not the same as CMx1. I can't figure this thing out for the life of me. If I want to make a small hill, the best I can do is draw a big circle of lets say elevation 20 in black to keep from changing the elevation outside the circle and then I can make a retarded looking hill within the circle by changing a plot within the center to a much higher elevation. This can't be the right way. When I attempt this without drawing a circle, the whole map changes in elevation, and it looks unforgivably retarded with all kinds of elevation lines forking all over the place and it's just a mess. Is there a video somewhere explaining how to correctly work the elevation editor? Seriously, I FAIL. :(

    Hopefully BFC won't be doing much gloating, it is a rather dangerous habit for a company selling to customers. Morever, I would not assume that everyone will come "crawling back" if BFC doesn't provide what they want...there are lots of other enjoyable games out there, and *gasp* plenty of things other than computer games to occupy my time with. For instance, I bought CMSF and played it exactly three times, didn't like it, and have never considered playing it again. Hopefully CM:N will be different...

    They are BFC, they will not gloat, so I gloat for them. :cool: We are wargamers and never get everything we want and I'm no exception. I take what I can get and so far BFC has given a great deal given the limited resourses that they have. Yes, there are lots of other enjoyable games out there but they're a far cry from CM and BFC is tops in my book for costomer relations. They really do listen to us and and if for some reason something someone wants in the game cannot be met, "Steave" gives a verry detailed, well reasoned explanation as to why they cannot accommadate at anytime or untill some point. Sure if enough people raise a stink about something that's "not unreasonable" down the road, it might make it in, but we are told when something is unreasonable and not practical from a development standpoint. There would be so much I would ask for that I know without even asking is bat**** crazy and I don't shake my fist in the air threatening to take my business elsewhere only to be worse off than I was considering it wont be BFC and CM. I'm sorry to hear about your dislike of CM:SF. Naturally CM:N will be different for obvious reasons. :)

    Significant improvements to all those points have seemingly been kicked in to the long grass, and let me tell you, I'll not be your customer for very much longer if you don't start working on it sooner then later.

    With what you're suggesting, I don't wan't to wait the ten or so years down from twenty for the next CM title now that BFC has a shiny new brain to help make the games. I have played so many games from companies that push their product like a cheaply manufactured drug leaving you wanting more till the next release a year down the road where they up it just a tad from the last. They have hundreds of chimps working on those games and those games have almost no replayability. I've never come across another game like CM before or a company like BF and I doubt I ever will again. You'll never find a better tactical war simulator. I don't want to speak for Steave, but I'll gloat for him. You'll be back crawling on your hands and knees in no time. :P

    If we could open save games of ongoing or finished battles in the editor, we could sort of build our own campaigns on the go, one battle at a time. We would have the troops from the last battle still on the map, we could bring in reinforcements, advance the time or change the weather, change experience, ammo and fatigue settings of the troops, etc. And all the detruction would still be in effect. Also, we could extend the battlefield in the direction the front is moving by simply adding more territory to the appropriate map edge. It would almost be like Operations. Or at least an excuse to spend more time with the editor...

    OMG This is my CM fantasy. :o The only way to do anything like that now would take so much time. You'd have to go into the original map to turn destoyed buildings from the last battle into rubble, find each unit that took casualties and try to replicate that for the next battle, those green horns are now regular and the veterans are now crack soldiers depending on the amount of casualties they inflicted and how many vehicles/guns/morts they knocked out, but the only way to know that would be to bring back the unit stats screen at the end of each battle from CMx1. That last bit I would at least like to see.

    CM:N OoB, TO&E Approach??

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    I love the work BF does on the Combat Mission series, but I can't help but feel a tad bit ripped off. I mean having to pay $35 dollars for something that, to me atleast, should be pretty much standard in a WW2 title. Especially considering that BO shipped with pretty much every unit that fought in the Normandy campaign.

    The response to this very type of sentiment has been plastered all over this cite on several occations and though I'm to lazy to go look for the actual quotes, the basic response is that CM:BO and CM:BB were a nightmare for the Battlefront team. I'm sure some grog will post Steve's actual quote's. I'd rather get the base game sometime THIS YEAR !! :mad: and have to pay extra for the modules over the years than have to wait another three to four years just to get a CM:BO type deal all in one shot. I want my CM:N NOW!! :D
