"Another bug Ive noticed is that if I put myself in debt, my tax income jumps by 25% ish, then after maybe 10+ weeks it drops back down to the value it was before I got into debt. Is this some weird recalculation or... " This part at least is easily explained. After a certain point, your entire spending is diverted into your treasury to pay off your debt, so it looks like you're getting more money. In reality, your spending controls have been forcibly and invisibly set to 0.<br

I'm playing the campaign. I'm not seeing any cutscenes. I know they exist because the first time I beat Darkness Rising it started to play and then crashed to desktop. Now it doesn't start them at all. I don't know which debug.err to send, but does anyone have an idea what's causing this? (I know I replied to a thread about this, but it wasn't in Bug Reports, so I'm starting one here)

I ressurect this thread to say I don't see them either. Once, after Darkness Rising, it started to play one, and then CTD. Now it doesn't even start them.

I edited it for you because i thought it was a neat idead. I think you meant this: ----------------- I noticed that there are a few people that seem to want more uses for the sphere of influence, but it seems that since they play civ4, a land game, they always immediately just copy that idea as a suggestion . But after all, outerspace is vastly huge so you can't enforce it. Now as you know, countries can require foreigners to do certain things before entering th

I split a cell pan with my GF, knocks the price down.

I know. I get most of my gaming library from ebay and halfpricebooks (RL store). This is the first time in months I bought one new. And Dr Ben I live in Kansas City, MO where a new computer game is the equivalent of a month's cable internet, a month's cell phone bill, or 2 months electric bill.

So I was poking around the metaverse rankings and noticed that no one submits their losing games. As a result everyone's ratio of wins/losses is zillions/none. Understandable. Why would you even finish a game you know you're going to lose? But if someone actually did play it out to the end, would it count against his/her score?

I just bought myself this game as a graduation present with the money I should've saved for next month's bills. Tell me why that's a good decision. (feel free to move this to off-topic if necessary, I felt it was a borderline topic)

Allah will shake his head sadly as he casts you out from the true believers, Knute. I hope you eventually drop this false faith and actually try listening to the truth.

I love saving replays of RTS games, but that would be boring as futz in a TBS. This would be the same level of coolness.

Neither TBS and RTS have never traditonally done well on consoles, forget handhelds. You really need the mouse, and the keyboard's pretty important too. There are a few exceptions, but those were generally designed specifically and originally for the consoles. The one exception off the top of my head was an RTS, one of the Command&Conquers for PS. It did not sell very well and was problematic to play.

Actually money order is difficult for M&B, as the company is in Turkey but seriously: surtak: there's a reason Janus and Deus Ex chased you off the M&B forums. What you are doing is WRONG. It's that frikkn simple.

Another problem with the bundled game+expansion is that unless you hide the release time for your expansion pack, those of us still saving up to buy the game will simply wait until the bundle comes out, saving us money but costing you an extra sale.

It shouldn't make any difference. I don't believe trade routes have anything to do with planetary income modifiers.

I read that it was a surprise so few people selected the demo. It shouldn't have been. People download the demo AFTER they hear about the game. If you had asked for the key factor that led to a purchase, the demo would have scored higher.

With any sort of luck, the devs will update the datalinks with a detailed explanation of where the money goes.

Ok I think you're right about that. But there's one thing i don't understand. Why is full research funding mutually exclusive with full military or social production? I can understand military and social having a tradeoff because they're using the same factories, but if I have the funding why can't I run both my factories and my labs to full capacity?
