I agree with that statement. There are other games out there deserving to be played. I'm waiting for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 and the expansion pack for Civilization 3. I loved Alpha Centauri and it's expansion pack. I might have to dig that one out and play it again. But I hardly have time to play SEIVG, let alone any other game plus get on the internet.

I like AC, but I was rather put down by absurd tech tree. They all sound like absolute nonsense to me Otherwise, AC is IMHO the best Civ-type game.

Oh, man, one of my all time faves is Silent Hunter. There is nothing like coordinating a 6 torp spread on 3 ships and trying to time it so that all hit within seconds of each other.

Or running up silent on a cruiser that looks suspiciously lacking of escort destroyers, hitting it with four torps, half of which are duds, and finding out that it is escorted by seven destroyers which just happened to be trailing the cruiser by 5000 yards. Oh ****. With realistic reload times switched on, the ensuing battle can take two hours.

Well some of it makes sense such as all of the Doctrines.

[K126]Mephisto, good to see your dulcet scribing again, I was beginning to wonder where my favourite sauerkraut clad bratwurst munching Teutonic chum, had got to..

I had a beautiful moment Last night, one of those moments that warm the cockles of your heart.. I am playing the Byzantines and a lone light cavalry regiment was caught in the open by an invading Turkish army.. the sight of massed ranks of Camel Cavalry, Horse Archers and Kwararizm cavalry charging out of the dunes was just so beautiful, I (almost) forgot to order my cavalry to run like hell..

still, the kataphraktoi gave them Turks a right juicy scrumping and no mistake

Shogun is one of my top 3 wargames, only SE4 is ahead of it, Medival is just as good but one of the things I don't like about it, is that you have a time limit in turns. Once you hit the Last yr, game over, In shogun you play until you win or lose, would like to see similiar thing in Medival

my 2 cents

just some ideas mac

well, you can have TOO MUCH of a good thing you know!!
