OMG... I just bought this game, and I am very shocked. The fact that there was a patch for it just as it went retail is a first sign of sadness. Well, I didnt have a choice so I got the patch, and then re-joined the PTW room filled with angry people that also bought the game.
After som frustration I went to bed. The next morning I got up and went to see if nyone was in the room that might want to play. After flaming PTW for a bit, I decided to hop into a game with three other people... This should be fun. We all entered the pre-game setup room, and even the chatting had great delay, could this be a foreshadowing of things to come?
After clicking in, and being unclicked a number of times by some unknown force... We finally were all clicked in and ready to go.
*oops*
There goes a player... Great, someone was dropped, now there are only three of us. No matter, we want to play, so we continued. The ten second count-down began, which really seemed more than ten seconds, and the game finally launched. Is this a good thing?
Upon entering the game, I was presented with a settler, placed in a really sweet location close to cows, rivers and some wheat. Nice, I really want to place a city here! To bad the only thing holding me back was a dialouge box making me wait for other players. I suppose I will have to wiat for them... I have no other choice.
After a few dreadful minutes, the box vanished and I was ready to go, wasn't I?
I hurredly clicked my settler and hit the ''create city'' button. Nothing...
Ok, odd. I did it again... Nothing.
So I decided to click and hold it, try to over-power the lag
...The button turns red, and then, you guessed it, Nothing.
By this time, the host starts chatting, asking if we were there. So I responded to him, and we began chatting. But, where was the third player, was he dropped, too? After moments of ragging on the game, chatting very, very slowly, I deducted that our third player was also, like the fourth; gone.
So, my fellow Civers... What does this mean?
It means that this game sucks. If you can actually get into a game(which will not work), you will lose 50% of the players doing it.
Sounds more like a fruitless arctic journy to me, than playing a game.
Wanna reply?

But, as the dumb optimist I am, I hope it'll get better... It did so with the original game, didn't it?
