I played the EE demo and it was enough to persuade me that the game was nothing like anything I would want to play. The appalling pathing, the inability for units to stay in formation, the paper-scissors-stone units that meant archers could kill infantry in hand to hand combat and the playdough graphics were all instant turn-offs. So I did.

You know what? Without meaning to, you have hit the nail on the head ... I loathe EE because of the paper-rock-scissors aspect. I HATED IT!Originally posted by Grumbold

I spent my time pausing the game to dig out the manual and double check what should be fighting what. Naturally, with a RTS, combat ended up as a mass brawl of billions of troops and figuring out the correct formula was one huge pain in the ass.
JEEZ ... now you mention it, I'm getting all aggravated all over again.

sorry, it's just that I had such high expectations for Yin.Originally posted by Urban Ranger
FB,
Stop picking on poor Yin
I think he has an exceptionally high standard for Firaxis/Sid that that doesn't apply to any other company/developer.
I thought I was seeing the real Yin in his "faces" interview.
but now he's sort of become an untested beta version/Horse clone of himself.
Maybe when he get's patched.....

I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

Perhaps, yin feels that Firaxis should rise above the level of Activision and not insult the Civ community with its releases.Originally posted by Urban Ranger
