Ever heard of FEMA? Imagine them in charge of your healthcare. It'll be GREAT!

I hope we do get public healthcare. The faster we drive this government into bankruptcy the better.

If you must have multiplayer, Space Empires V. If not, no question GCII is better, and DA even more so.

I see you have toned down your attitude Your powers of perception are staggering. Good. Still, after abuse come personal attacks. How predictable. Have nothing else to go on, huh? Anyways, like me apparently lots of people around here have nothing to do on their weekends, I guess they're all pathetic. You are not, of course. But what is 10 minutes on a saturday morning if it helps educating you? There wa

That game looks great, but after a visit to the forums I decided to wait. Now I'm glad I did. Good luck, I've been there.

Heh, glad to see you back and sinking deeper with each reply. Still no good arguments, huh? What is it that you're doing replying to me, again? Nothing else to do? It's not that I'm sinking, it's just that you have nothing better to do on the weekend, and that amuses me. Why don’t you break down the poll into names to prove your point? Oh, yeah. If you did that, you’d prove yourself wrong. Don’t want that, now d

It’s nice to see that Titan of Steel took some time off of his busy weekend social schedule to reply. Kind of sad, though... one would think he could have found something better to do on the weekend. We’ll just leave that alone for now. Well, until you break down the poll into names... and back to the same recurrent silly argument. Heh. Maybe it's so simple that you can't really process it conveniently. Why don’t you break down the poll into na

That's all you could come up with? ------------ Apparently it was enough to shut you up. Wrong again, dummy. No wonder you're so familiar with the word "pathetic." ------------ Yep, you gave new meaning to it. Thank you for that. Ouch, you cut, I bleed. At least you're polite, which is a considerable achievement for one of your mental faculties. <div class="Ar

I attempted to read this whole post and gave up some where at the top of page one, so forgive me if I leave something out. It is true that nothing is perfect and even if it’s perfect to me it’s not going to be to you. But the major question is "what are you expecting from this game?” I would personal love to see a lot of deferent features put in DL, such as more control over each planet (what it’s researching, its government, and better a

I certainly don't think it's perfect... but I do think it's the best expansion I've ever played, and I give it a 10/10. And if you think that opinion is "absurd," be prepared to back it up with something better than that buggy turd SEV, please. Brood War? You'll get no argument from me, that was a great expansion.

That's all you could come up with? No wonder you're so familiar with the word "pathetic." Try again any time, squirt.

I agree, it's hooked me also. It is the best expansion pack I've ever played without question. On top of that, it is the only time in 20+ years of PC gaming that I've sent in a bug report and gotten a response from a programmer with the cause and solution.

Man you're going to have a lot of fun with Vista. Consider this the first of many disappointments.

I also don't escort my transports, they're too fast for a warship to catch anyway. In my most recent game the Korath had a bunch of single un-escorted transports around that I shot down. This was on challenging level and max CPU usage. However, they did escort their spore ships, I hate those things. Except when I'm Korath, in which case they are really cool.

Sorry about that 4X hiddenranbir, I had a mental block. I always think of 4X as being MoO and Stars!, my mistake. ------------ Mental block, sure. Heh. At least I can address when I make a mistake, unlike you... the submental who didn't understand why star bases are in space, and not in orbit. Genius. That's not the point, and you know it. I think DA is a 10 expansion. You said that was an "absurd op

I never knew that, that will save me a lot of clicks. Thanks guys.

I don't think so, not from the planet UI anyways. when you have one or more ships built on the same turn, just click the small green button on the bottom under the lowest popup square to launch all ships. As for launching them manually, I think you can only click them one at a time. Also right clicking on the blue square that comes up for the ships will automatically launch them. Regarding

Sorry about that 4X hiddenranbir , I had a mental block. I always think of 4X as being MoO and Stars!, my mistake. ToS Iceman- Looking for support, eh? Even if this were true, which is not, 7 against seems pretty heavy odds. We must have different numeric systems over here though, because going back I counted 11 people that expected more and 9 that find it perfect (even though some have not stated so clearly, rather agreed with someo

Cari helped me fix the exact same issue (this also caused crashes for me) when I beta tested DA. The newest sound driver didn't completely fix the problem, but once I replaced all of the audio codecs everything worked smoothly.

I wouldn't say they're worthless, I have one advanced farm (the best I can research) on all of my larger planets, including the capitol. My taxes are at 20%, and the population of my capitol is 22 billion, with 52% approval (most of the other planets are between 70 and 100% approval, population 16b or less). My tax income is 2K or so a week and I'm playing on challenging. I only have one entertainment center on each planet(I don't remember the exact one, the one you can research after

And 10 is relative... a 10 score is not an indication of perfection in a game... it simply means there is nothing better. Speaking of ripping to shreds, and nails in the coffin. Name your ZERO expansion. Yes, there must be one. If there's a ten, then there must definitely be a zero. Do you agree? It might not even be that bad, it's just that it's the worse around. Now, will someone seeing that rating think

I'm using Gamestats. Gamerankings.com indicates that GCII gets 87%, DA gets 94%, and SEV gets 66%. Same difference, but thanks for an additional source confirming my assertion. Since CIV and SMAC aren't 4X games, their relevance to this discussion is questionable. Regardless, this is totally on topic. This thread was a game review, and I'm discussing game reviews. ToS Iceman asserts that SEV is superior, so it's only natural to point out that every game revie

ToS_Iceman's most vocal supporter and yes man has never even played DA? How embarrassing.

Also, many of the *real* reviewers, the players, disagree with you. I know that because I am one, as are the majority of posters on this very thread. Again you've done all my work for me and destroyed your own argument. --------- You can count, right? Apparently not. Maybe you should start there. You run the risk of sounding pathetic. I'll respond to your post completely later, I jus

Why don't you post YOUR idea of a 10/10 expansion so that I can rip it to shreds? --- Ok, how about a bug free, cheese free, thoroughly tested gameplay and campaign module? Rip me to shreds please. Sure DA has some new stuff (even though...), some fixes and improvements. The fact is, some of them were *needed*, like the combat system (even though it now presents other problems). Is DA perfect? Nope. Not a 10 then. Nice dodge, of c
