Can't get more than 5 neutral races

I would think it would be the perspectives of their customers, the ones who pay for their software and keep them in business. ^.^

But like I said, I support small game companies when I can.

edit: and I want it fixed too. :> I didn't realize we were arguing.

But I don't think neutrals are pointless, and from what I've heard they can be made fairly challenging with the right AI files.

If one person complains about a relatively minor feature, it is not a big priority. If a lot of people complain, it becomes a higher priority.

There are probably a lot more critical things to work on than number of neutrals. MM has limited time and all.

Right, it's not for either of us to decide their work schedules. =) But like you said, the more noise that gets made about this bug, the more likely they are to fix it. Well, here I am, making noise.

and I know I'm not the only one who would like to see this bug squashed.

Considering it's kept me from starting any new games that I want to play, due to the time investment for the kind of gameplay that I like, and I've already played one game that's not got the quantity of AI players that I wish it to have (I've been waiting around basically since I bought the game because I read that this would be fixed in a patch) -- this is something that's fairly important to me and I hope they find the time to correct what seems like a reasonably simple bug to fix.

Sure! Wanna play by e-mail, once a day, no combat for the first 500 turns? (That's just getting started, after all.

=)

No? :>

(I have a feeling my style of play may be a bit... er, different, than most others')

Umm... if you just want AI players, you can have up to 20 players in a game. The settings for normal AIs work fine. Why do you want so many neutrals anyways? They are not very good opponents.

I don't want "opponents", I want to seek out new life, and new civilizations, to boldly.. eh, you know the rest.

Neutrals seemed like a way to fill out the rest of the galaxy with people who aren't xenophobic war-mongerers. Sorry, expansionist xenophobic war-mongerers. I knew I forgot something.
