Are they making the game worse with each successive patch?

[Dis]

I'm not talking about the good things like stacked movement etc.

I'm talking about changes designed to make the game even harder.

I'm not a masochist. I'm a sadist. I like to dish it out, not take it .

I miss the good ole' days when games were fun. Not designed to punish me for being a human. Sometimes I wish I was a dumb artificial intelligence entity and not a human. Nobody likes us smart humans . Ohh the descrimination.

WTF!!

This is the part of the thread where I point out the obvious.

There are ways to adjust the difficulty level. Like, you know, the difficulty level buttons when you start a game.

[Dis]

yeah I thought about that.

even though I had no trouble beating chieftan, I am a hardcore civ player after all.

but what about the casual gamer? Chieftan should be beatable by them without too much trouble.

So I think the difficulty levels are f*cked up. I can see making diety impossile. And Emporer nearly impossible. And chieftan should be ridiculously easy. And the other levels should be scaled accordingly.

If I still had the game, I'd put the difficulty screen though Photoshop for you so you could pretend you started on a different level. I'd even take requests for what you want the names to be. I like the old Doom stuff, like "I'm a wimp." Or "Bring it on!" Sorry, though. The best I can do is, well, nothing ... really.

And here I thought Yins old avatar was bad.
