This'll be my one and only post. So feel free to flame, i'll never read it.
I got this as a budget, so £15.. If i'd paid £35 for it, i'd be knocking the devs head's in to be honest. EIC is a... joke really. It's almost like they got so far, then just decided to not bother anymore.
I have a fleet of 5 ships. All five get sunk. Not by enemy gunfire, but because they run aground.
The map loaded with the ships so close to the islands that they couldn't turn in time and everyone of them sank.
This about 6 hours into the game...I don't care if i can reload a save from 2 hours ago...
Another example, I have a 5 star captain, with all the mods, 5 Frigates, all with between 5 and 10 stars each. Get sunk by 5 of the most basic ships available to the warship side. Seriously, 4 are sunk, 1 survives with about 3 hps. All 5 of mine are sunk. 215k in gold, hours of time... for what? To be insulted by part time devs?
In my last game, I lost 3 sotl + 2 frigates to 1 pirate frigate.
My ally, decided to attack me in the last minutes of the game, taking over a port I needed to complete the winning scenario.. seconds before he decides to flip sides, my lv 4 garrison burns to the ground. Like eh? wtf..!
I have one decent fleet early in the game, with all my other fleets as the basic ships. Just after spending all my money on spices, a storm hits, sinks 3 ships and I loose all of my cargo. That's not a difficulty to work with thats a restart the bloody game...hours of time lost.
I mean why? What could have been a truely excellent game... is just pants. It really is absolute, utter garbage. Sid Miers Pirates is better than this... and that game is dreadful.
Theres the lag in big battles with 10 ships... the weird "your lv 4 warehouse burns to the ground minutes after to fill it with the most expensive items" the insane ai pathing in ship battles, send two ships after an enemy vessel and one just decides to go the complete opposite direction, the insane prices for repairs and cost of purchasing ammo, it's cheaper to build a new ship ffs.
EIC the designers cut.. seriously, it isn't worth this post.:wacko:
