The game does not end, only the scoring does. You can play on as long as you want. Someone actually posted a game in the 26xx time frame. Now that is a lot of turns.

It was just PolandOriginally posted by hewhocaves
My biggest complaint with EU2 was the 'historical' things; those pop-up bars that came up no matter what you were doing (essentially). Maybe it was just Poland, but the way the game was structured, I was funneled down a path to destrustion. After ahile I just deleted the whole tree in my civ, then the game played much better
Well, not quite, but Poland gets more than a fair share of nasty events.
EU programmers really tried hard to simulate not just rise of nations but also their decline. The latter is accomplished by "enforcing history" through events. So ie Spain and Ottomans get all sorts of nasty events after their historical "golden age". Same is true for Poland-Lithuania although PLC never gets much in a way of "good" events to compensate.
Some of the worst Polish events (like the dreaded Liberum Veto) are avoidable though. You need to lower your aristocracy rating iirc. Which is painful by itself since high aristocracy makes a lot of sense for Poland. But you cannot have it all
Using events is a bit of a cavalry-charge way to represent decline of great powers, but no other game even tries to simulate this, so it does not really annoy me much.It is only totalitarian governments that suppress facts.

No doubt, and if you don't believe this statement just check out the activity for the Galactic Civilizations fansite. (Not one post in the Strategy forum in 6 months and the game is less than a year old)Originally posted by vmxa1
It is not often that a game over 2 years old has somany fan sites with so much activetly. My guess is that many games rank higher that came out the same year are already forgotten.
good Luck.

Wow. I'm torn between my desire to see HoMM redeem itself as a premier TBS, and my dislike of Fabrice.Originally posted by vmxa1
vmxa1, where is this HoMM 3 game in the latest CGW you refer to?

Near the end of the mag. It was a game between Tom and ?? (Bruce). One was underground as a Warlock and the other was above as a Rampart IIRC). Gold dragons VS Black. I got to love the Dungeon. Extra money Blacks immune to magic and Ilike Scorpicores. It is the March issue.Comment

Scorpicores suck. Minotaurs rock, though
Dungeon gets some of the best heroes, too.It is only totalitarian governments that suppress facts. In this country we simply take a democratic decision not to publish them. - Sir Humphrey in Yes MinisterComment

The "Bruce vs. Tom" can be pretty entertaining.

I'm not certain that's accurate at all. When did you last go by there?Comment

Sorry to be OT here, but Minos are too slow and can't get ovr walls. I mean I like them and they can go toe to toe, IF they can get in the action.Originally posted by ErikM

By the time you get to having the high level monsters, any not floers or range shooters are a handicap.

Actually, Vmxa, for the most part, this thread has turned to OT ... I would think that all of the posts in this thread were from other Aploytoners "giving up civilization" .... but of course, that is just plain CRAZY!Originally posted by vmxa1

Guys, where can I buy HOMM?
It sounds good.
One question though. Is HOMM anything like Final Fantasy Tactics? I liked that game, with the jobs and interesting strategy in battles. A nice change from the real time battles of epic Final Fantasys.
Sometimes its good to take a breather and do something differently once in a while.

You should be able to find it in most games stores. They have a package with all the versions and expansio out still.
If not, go to ebay or http://www.mrbillsadventureland.com/...NITED%20STATES
That site has a list of all kinds of game sellers.Comment

I was just there the other day. The General section is active but the Strategy section hasn't been touched for literally months Even the General section has little activity when compared to the Strategy forum for Civ 3.Originally posted by Uberslacker
