Did TheWesDude just say something? I ignore his unreadable posts now.

And how does Civ4 handle corruption then?

 

[Careless]

Meh, Civ3, its main problem was the ridiculous corruption. '

You are absolutely right there. It was pretty ridiculous. I absolutely LOVE the system they came up with in civ 4 in comparison.

It was unbelievably stupid that civ 3 made all colonies away from the center of your civ worthless and didn't allow you to change corruption levels until a few patches in. They did eventually change the editor to allow you to alter the corruption rates. Turn it down to about 13% and you get something more like civ 2 rates.
I've played a little civ 4 (my main computer broke around the time I got it and this laptop can't really handle it... why the hell you would make a civ game that required large amounts of ram and graphics power, I don't know) and haven't figured out whatever the corruption/maintenance thing there is.

I am also a believer in buying games when they are cheaper. Civilization- never played them. Have to try that next.

I paid nearly $40 for Close Combat 3 and it kicks ass. Worth every penny.

If you really want to play Civ may I suggest you start with Alpha Centauri? IMHO 'tis the best one of the lot.

i tried getting AOE 3 but it requires XP so i cant play it.

i got winter assault for warhammer 40k and the campaign is pretty difficult on the easy settings... 5/10

dungeon siege : legends of arana... char levelling of morrowind and a story lighter than icewind dale... only reason i still play it is to waste time and hope it gets better. plus no char editor for the single player is just bad.

I recently purchased the Dawn of War GOTY + Winter Assault gold edition set. A genuinely fun game that while taking a different aproach to RTS, feels really familiar. Its like a nostalga fix even though i have only owned it for three days, and winter assault was released less then three months ago. 8/10

forgotton:

thats exactly what i got too but i got them about a month apart... dawn of war is much better than the winter assault campaign wise and winter assault nerfed a few things though. lots of people complain about imbalances. its hard to find people playing WA on the net, but normal dawn of war you can usually find people to play against but they like to rush.

I've been playing FEAR these past few weeks. It's alright, but it's nothing really too spectacular. It's worth a go, at least - I'll give it that much.
