Aaah... Eeeehh...

My post was exactly to support (hmmm.. how can you ) you as a perfectly sane person here. In fact, I reitterated your points almost up to the line Either you missunderstood me or I typed something quite opposite I wanted...

Ooh, dear. How easy it would be if russian was the default language here.

Oleg:
Your post was actually directly opposing my point.

No sane person would argue that games like Moo2 and SEIII/IV had good multiplayer long before Moo3 was conceived.

You said that a sane person would not argue that games prior to MOO3 had good multiplayer capabilities. You may have meant the other way, but that is what you said.

Eddie:

MOO3 is also very moddable, a fact. Meaning
you could "improve" on its many features, an opinion.

It is not more moddable than SE4 though, and you can not eliminate its major flaws through modding.

Turning the viceroys off DOES NOT disable them entirely. They still make changes. How many times do I and others have to repeat this? It is getting tiring saying it over and over and over again.

There are significantly more people that find MOO3's interface to be horrible and clumsy than that find it to be a good interface. And what a patch will or will not do HAS NO BEARING on how the game is RIGHT NOW. What the game might be like in the future IS NOT a valid basis for argument of whta the game is like NOW.

LOL. If you wonder why I.F. has so many Posts, it is because it argues against not just those who are disagreeing with it but also with its supporters. ...I.F. is an it instead of he because no human being could have its breadth of knowledge--even if most of that knowledge is just plain wrong.

Regarding the problem with the cultural victory in Gal Civ: Each time you reload the game, it has to re-calculate your influence. The developers said they could have saved that piece of info as well. But it would have increased the time required to save your game. So, they left it as is.

The AI in Gal Civ is pretty good. I'm the type of person who prefers to play on my own timetable against only the computer. This is a very strong, strong preference on my part. Let me just say that the gameplay in SEIV is so much more satisfying than Gal Civ that I'm about to set Gal Civ aside and cautiously brave the waters of SEIV PBW.

That is a pretty crappy decision. It couldn't have increased time to save the game by very much, and would be well worth the marginal increase in saving time.

MOO3 may or may not be "more moddable" then SEIV, but so what. You do not know that for a fact, nor do I. Plus (opinion), there are NO "major" flaws in this game. (but a fact to me)
I am also getting tired ( not really ) of repeating, when I turn off "Roy" I control my planet.
I am not sure where you get your "poll" numbers from, but from what I have read this would contradict your "clumsy interface" rampage.
I am curious, why do you seem so angry (opinion) in your Posts?

You do not know that for a fact, nor do I.

Yes I do. I have looked at the modding options of MOO3, and SE4 is more moddable than MOO3 is. I never said MOO3 is unmoddable, just that it is nowhere near as moddable as SE4. And so there is no confusion, changing graphics is not modding.

Plus (opinion), there are NO "major" flaws in this game. (but a fact to me)

So do you work for Infogrames' PR department or something? That is the impression I am getting, because I have not yet heard anyone make the claim that there are no major flaws with MOO3 (except for some Infogrames lackeys...). Even the game designers have admitted as much...

I am also getting tired ( not really ) of repeating, when I turn off "Roy" I control my planet.

Up until it makes changes for you, yes. But, the viceroys are not completely disabled when you turn them off. I have seen this happen. EVERYONE that I have talked to about the game has seen this happen. You must not pay much attention or have been extremely lucky if you haven't seen it happen yet.

I am not sure where you get your "poll" numbers from, but from what I have read this would contradict your "clumsy interface" rampage.

What rampage? You continue to deny all of the problems people have been pointing out with MOO3, so I repeat them in hopes that maybe, just maybe, you will open your mind and see the game from someone else's perspective.

I am curious, why do you seem so angry (opinion) in your Posts?

I don't see any anger. Annoyance at going in circles with you because you refuse to see other points of view, sure. But no anger.
