They are totally ignoring some thtrads like the one about the AI.
This is not good, no sir.

Johan is not a dev. He's just my brother.

We do not ignore the AI thread, but little that needs commenting has been said lately.

BTW has it struck you that every hour spent on these Boards is one less hour spent on the patches. For the Last couple of days I havn't spent any time to actually work on Dominions II. Wonder why

Have you considered that perhaps they're ignoring _you_? Your abrasive points have been heard, and from what I've seen aknowledged, what more do you want, a medal?

Hm, so the list about the suggestions that how to fix the AI is nothing? Have you seen that list?
Hm............

The list has stayed the same for the Last week or so. What do you expect him to say?

Okay, so you have seen it than. This is a good start.

Well I don't want anything, but the AI scripter should make some comments about the suggestions. That is what I am missed.

You should have quoted this line as well:

The time spent on these Boards could be used for the game, and I believe that comments somewhat rude or aggressive are unlikely to help. Continually raising problems without adding anything won't either. (Disclaimer: I don't deny there can be improvements to the AI. /Disclaimer)

The list is done, has been read by the developers, now perhaps you may want to give him (or them) time to deal with the AI? A working AI with little cheating is not exactly done in a week, let alone when you are doing other things than AI scripting.

My mommy told me if you cant say anything good then dont say anything at all.

Sorry, couldnt resist. Im thinking the Devs have no reason to say much about any of this until people try the full game and start commenting. Even then they have in the past tended to listen more than argue. Mostly they let us beat each other up on both sides of issues while they take notes. In any case Ive NEVER known them to ignore any of our discussions.

Oh and by the way, Ive also never known them to be swayed by numbers so the lists and debates probably mean alot more than the "look how many people" stuff. In the past, one person with one good suggestion got just as much notice as many people with complaints. Not that they got ignored, it just that numbers wasnt enough by itself to change any minds.
