wondering what makes a game qualify for a forum section

[vee4473]

How come there isn't an Age of Wonders forum section?

I don't play the game as much anymore, but it is a TBS game that is very good i think, and a place to come and talk about it would be nice.

How did RON get in? Simply because it's a Brian Reynolds game?

Yup. This is supposedly a civilization site, that is why, say, Age of Wonders wouldn't qualify for its own forum.

Now, the owners apparently thought that RoN qualifies as a civilization game... And to further support that claim that it wasn't just because it is a Brian Reynolds game, they say that Pirates! will never get its own forums, even though its a Sid Meier game.

right, the only reason i even asked was because of the other games that are TBS yet not civ.

oh well.

You can dicuss AOW here, and several threads have. There would not be enough traffic to justify a forum.

Thats cause BR created Civ2 and SMACX, both of which are leaps and bounds ahead of Civ1 and Civ3 for that matter

I'll say out loud, what many think.

That a game like RON is covered here at Poly, is nothing less than a travesty

Yeah. It's total crap compared to Total Annihilation, Kohan, and Warlords Battlecry II.

Neither of which I play....and neither of which are, to the best of my knowledge, covered by Poly.

RON seemed okay for a RTS

It seemed to have most of the civilization type things in the game- but in a RTS kind of way. I played the demo, didn't get the game because I don't care for RTS gameplay that much.

Well, if you look at the amount of activity on the RoN forums, you'll find out that neither do most Apolytoners...

*glances at RON forums*

yes they do seem slow.

perhaps they should condense them all into 1 forum.

A game qualifies for its own forum if Mark and Dan say it does.

Make them into one and stick it into the "Other Games" or "Alternative Civs" category, where it belongs.

No. The mods are supposed to refer to them as "The Owners "
