the conceptual errors which concern me, the original ideas that don't work .. there the ones which take a huge amount of effort to implement .. Ie, colonies, stacking units, battle calculations etc.. and thats why I said, let them take there time, and fix it ...

That's the problem. The conceptual errors are no doubt wrapped up in the code, making it a HUGE job to fix this game. I can tell just from playing the game that some of these things would be very difficult fixes.

I don't think they are up to it.

However, don't get me wrong, unlike some, im not crying over this .. Firaxis are no doubt working hard to fix many of the problems, I believe they will in time, but we need a little patience.. Its Ironic, we complain that these companies release stuff too early, and then start screaming for a patch ..

Firaxis, take your time, get it right .. and let those who cry .. wait, cos ultimatly, they will be the same people who praise you when you get it right.

When you no longer can detect if a post was meant as (A)sincere, (B)sarcasm or (C)irony. You know things are NOT okay.


If you really think Firaxis/Infogrames is actually going to release a patch with major updates like proper scenario support and hotseat. Months after the official release. You're only deluding yourself.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

I'm sure we'll get a fully working editor eventually. Hopefully with a minimap so I can see what I'm doing. My only worry is that they might put it in an expansion like with the extended editor features in Conflicts in Civilzation and Fantastic Worlds. Actually, that's not really a worry. If they release an expansion then I'll get it whatever.

Yes. Well, aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

The existing editor lets you do almost everything you want to do.

Then 'you' are not ambitious enough. See any CtP2 mod to see what can be done.
