Why is there still a Big Huge Games forum?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well?

BHG has shown us that their first game is a real time strategy game. The only thing it has to do with Civ is that it deals with history and Brian Reynolds. Ergo, it shouldn't be on Apolyton.

SimGolf has a much better claim for a forum than BHG.

Oh, and I did know about the BHG preview on IGN before it was posted as news, I just refuse to post new on the BHG game.

[Asher]

For the love of GOD remove the forum before someone sees it!

[Dis]

yeah stand up to the man

we demand a sim golf forum or we will be forced to put our sim golf threads in big huge games forum. although I just might do that anyways

How does it?
HoN has plenty of Civ-esque concepts, and is pausable, much like EU, which we have a forum for

SimGolf uses the SMAC engine

I don't see a problem with it. It's not like the Civ III Suggestions thread (which continued to receive suggestions long after the List had been thrown in the garbage, and even after the game had gone into Alpha) which generated clutter by virtue of simply being there. People don't usually go into the BHG forum and start a thread like "I want a Big Huge Game where you can play grabass, get cracking on it Brian Reynolds!" while in the Civ III Suggestions thread people would regularly start threads like "Make Civ III a real-time strategy game, get cracking on it Firaxis!"

Ah know... Let's have a spelling contest!

[spartak]

maybe not.

Sid Game

RoN.. and if it can be included, why not a forum for Empire Earth or AoK? It is very similar to them.

[BeBMan]

Yeah, close it! Or not...

However, I´m a bit disappointed by RON...

Has precisely the same claim to 'Poly as RoN. Less so 'cos its not strat, more so (possibly) 'cos its Sid.

But CtP wasn't Sid or Brian, and its here. 'Poly is a Civ site, not a Sid site.

Why not include AoK and EE, maybe because um... er...

WE WANT RTS FORUM!!

Well basically what I meant is that if there can be a BHG forum, then SimGolf has the same claim to it.

Right?

Give RoN a chance, Imran. From what I've seen and heard, it is much different than any previous RTS, if you want it to be. I've frequently supported the notion that most RTSes have no actual strategic value, but RoN is a true strategy game. Just give it a chance.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Doesn't sound like one at all... just another RTS, which I won't be buying.

[Apocalypse]

Well, it is much different. There are ways to win peacefully. When has that ever been possible in the C&C/Warcraft clone RTS genre?
