[quote who="Tridus" reply="110" id="2946124"]Evony isn't really a game, it's a treadmill designed to get microtransactions out of people. The actual "game" part of it is extremely simplistic.[/quote] if you break it down there really is no difference between evony and stw2. i dont wish to knock CA, but they have no clue on how to make a strategy game( just look at the market chain). tw series games were and always will be about the battles, the campaign

im retired, 300 hrs can go by in a couple months easy. RTW, i have over 1000 hrs on only the vanilla. played RTW just for the music and the speeches. played Evony online for a month straight, 10hrs a day, only stopped cause i dont have unlimited broadband, cost me an extra $30 that month.

with close to 300 hrs of game play on STW2 im back to dark avatar. i find it more challenging. have beaten legendary with 6 clans, uesegi still a pain for me. i just get bored playing it now. i find music boring and always skip the speeches, i dont want to read subtitles. eye candy can only keep me interested for awhile, i find ai is more scripted than intelligent during battles just like the demo.

I have found that if I never click on the SHIP/PLANET icon my game will never crash. Once i click on that icon to locate certain ships i find that the game will start to crash a few turns later, might be 10 turns or 30 turns. But never have had a crash if i left that icon alone!!! Just thought I would give my input :CONGRAT:

I recently started playing GCII again and the same problem of crashing to desktop, starts to crash when u know your going to win and taking the time to clean up the rest of the civs. Does not matter if playing with tiny map(1v1) or huge map with 8 civs. Drivers are all updated, virtual memory at 4000mb, autosave at 0 turns. There seems to be no solution, tired of sending reports in. This time I have no choice but to throw the game out, not going to put it away

that PQ15 was original size, i went back to saved game when planet was just starting out and purchased a farm and food did go up to 9mt/wk instantly. Theres a bug somewhere, maybe tech can figure it out with debug.err i sent them.

I sent me dubug.err to support@stardock yesterday but for some reason(dont know how?) I cannot get that file to copy and paste here. I have autosave turned off cause i was told by kryo to turn it off to help prevent crashes to desktop which occur often late in my games, they never figured that out either, was told to try 1.6 beta but still same problem with crash to desktop when autosave engaged. Need to get a timer set to go off every hour so i remember to qucik save my games, hard to

Homeworld was a great game that i played but it was a scenario based game. Done one scenario on to the next. After i completed the scenarios at hardest levels the game was obsolete, always seemed to me that there was only 1 way to defeat the comp, couldnt take different option to play the game. Medieval II total war makes good use of turn based and rts, where you play a turn based campaign but when u come up against another army the fight is rts ,controlling 1000's of men at once(really

What makes a colony stop growing? homeworld is Era, 2nd colony is Era II Era II has 6mt/wk food, 82% approval, pop was boosted by citizens from Era to 3.2B now after 20 turns pop is still at 3.2B? Era has maxed out at 15B with additional farm, 3 other colonies also maxed out at 6B. Why wont EraII grow in pop?

planet limit was not reached but food limit? Where would i see food limit? and to add extra food is buy building farms correct which will increase pop limit also? PQ? planet quality, did you mean planet pop limit?

Playing as sentients with breeder super abilty. After 1 yr of play my pop stopped growing,planets were not maxed out, approval rating was around 72% overall. Cannot figure out why pop stopped growing, runniing a defeceit but still had money in treasury, does social spending have anything to do with pop growth? Do breeders only get bonus with 100% overall approval rating or does it go planet by planet?

Hate spending hours on a game and then it starts to crash to desktop every few moves, ive tried the different fixes ive read about even sent in debugg to tech support but nothing seems to fix the problem. i have actually finished 2 games while others just start crashing late in the game and make it impposible to finish, what a dissappointment.

Hello, I purchased GC2 gold edition 2 weeks ago, great game, my first 2 games went fine but my 3rd game is crashing to desktop every 12 or 13 moves. I read another post with same problem a few days ago, sent my debug.err to support today, just wondering if this is a common problem. One other thing is i cant pull up the manual for this game. I have the written manual that came with the game just wondering if the downloaded one is different or more info?
