I would say once a week is quite often. Maybe a while ago when the OS was still fairly new, but not anymore. I was actually quite surprised to get the pop-up that new updates were available a week or so ago -- that hadn't happened in months.

I never really pay attention to the size of the updates but usually they're downloaded in under two minutes, so they can't possibly be big.

Only quick as you are on broadband, to the same with dial-up and call by call. Much fun paying

I just checked, I did 38 updates (all but 2 automatic) in the past 20 months. That's 1 update every two-three weeks on average (most of them in the first 6-9 months). Unfortunately no file sizes are listed.

And again: 38 times where SM failed. How many times to you here of cars being recalled of the same producer? 38 times for the SAME freaking model in 6-9 month !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the pink elephant haven't told you so, it might be still true

I like the Irish for it, they need an excuse NOT to drink

Gilg, I have to give you an official warning here: stop spamming! 9 posts in a row is a bit excessive!

It would be best to drop the issue entirely, it's not like it's going anywhere. If anyone wants to continue it, please do so in the OT...


I have no idea what St George's day is, but happy St George Day to anyone who celebrates it anyway

I only realised afterwards, when I replied to the posts, went a bit automatic.........But I don't mind dropping the issue.

Yeah, happy St George day to those who know what it is and celebrate it.

Apologies for the light spam lunch.

Try again if you like (before it all went downhill):

To get us on some sort of topic, lets have an exciting new feature, what would you most like to see in a new CtP2?

Has anyone done a real Civ/CTP type game in full 3D? you got the total war games - but they only do the battles in 3D.
Empire Earth? was it full 3D or kind of psuedo 3D?

I had another play of Morrowind and was thinking its certainly possible to create detailed worlds these days.....but i cant think of any with CTP2 type play style?

What happened to Mr. Baggins?

The problem with 3D graphics ( ) is that they are not really usefull in TBS strategy games, it is even the contrary as they don't allow you to have a clear vision of the area and to plan your moves in consequence. As far as I am concerned 2D graphics are far more convenient in Civ like games.
