The entitlement mentality will get you nowhere. They owe you nothing. You did not pay for a service, you paid for a license. The fact that Stardock continues updating the game and providing a Metaverse is wonderful, but it should not be treated like something they owe you. After they provided you the software w/license, they finished their part of the transaction. Thus the proper attitute is not a demanding one.

They exist. I've seen the first two second of one. It started to zoom in on the temple the Drengin were using to unleash the Dread Lords, and then froze. Since then I've been unable to get that or any other cutscene. (plus there's an old thread where the devs say they do exist)

"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 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 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.

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.
