Hehe, aye i've been calling them Unistations (colloquial) for some yrs now
.edit: I was more poking fun at my Brazilian friend that the world is Canadian as well
So you can listen to us laugh at the poor peons that don't have access to the forum.Niptium said:
CE only in Target? Thats too bad. Should have done that deal with Wal-Mart, which is much more ubiquitous. If i was at home, no problem - but at university, i don't think theres on nearby.
I would have ordered by mail, except the university's mail systems delays everything by about a week.
Ah well, normal edition for me then. Unless i decide to wait a bit to get it anyways (not sure i can find time to really play it now).

I dunno. All language is fairly inexact, if you want to start newspeak knock yourself out, but at least be consistent. Yankee and norteamericano, the terms as far as I understand our neighbors to the South use, are themselves inaccurate. Calling a Hawaiian an "American" is a little weird, but England being part of the "European community" is a little weird as well (does that community involve Russia? Turkey?) Middle East is horribly inexact and clearly etho-centric, but Arab world means your probably lumping Persians and others in there, "Muslim World" brings you to places like Indonesia and beyond and so on and so forth. I say lets stick with our old inexact terms, instead of creating new ones.
Mine is here! But does anyone know why "My Games" isn't working? I want my sexy hat, blast it.

It doesn't? What happends?L'Afrique said:Mine is here!
Problem:
Page 134/135 of the manual which is the table of province improvements, the table overlaps the table on the 2nd page.
Any chance of a .pdf version of those pages?
Also, the strategy guide has BACKGROUND STORY AND HISTORICAL KINDA STUFF. :woo: :drool: :allenby:

Well I never understood that, spanish refers to americans as "unitedstatians" as well, but that is as inaccurate as calling the french "republicans" because they are the republic of france like we are the united states of america. Several other countries are comprised of "states" as well. It just happens that our country name is the same as two continents. Not that americans is any better but it just annoys me when people think that its some sort of imperialist or elist way of considering ourselves above the rest of the continent. Whether its right or a good idea or whatever, in English our country's name is America with the united states being a modifier like "kingdom of" or "republic" etc. But then again I should have no problem with any other language choosing what to call americans since we "choose" the names of other nationalities in our language.
I'll ask about that but I doubt that a response will be forthcoming until Monday morning. In the interim, you can get the data from \common\buildings.txt (for province improvements) and \common\cultures.txt (for the next table).Duuk said:

Walmart is last place I'd purchase anything, I much prefer Target. Glad Paradox agrees!
I should be getting my CE soon.
Sadly, I won't be able to actually play it until this summer.

1-.So Duuk, have you seen any AI behavior that acts differently since the demo wasn't supposed to have AI files within itself ?
What are the major diffences ? Demo vs Game
2. At which date did you start your game ? And have you seen the Netherlands form ?
3. And what about the map spread - is it inconveniently as fast as it is in the demo ?
Aye !

Started 2 games now. Both 1453.
My 1st game as Burgundy ended in defeat by France because I didn't realize the AI would field 40 divisions as France.
My 2nd game is going well (as France). Mainly because I'm fielding 54 regiments. The AI seems ok. I have a suspicion as to what caused the main weirdness (Iroquois trading in Ile de France in 1457): Indians can't place merchants, so I bet their CoT closed and IdF was the closest.
I can also tell you that I think the "knowledge of the province" spread needs to be tweaked. I know about provinces that I can't reach, so the spread logic needs to only reveal "border" TI. Also, it goes too fast. I'm still only in 1472 and I see part way down the coast of Africa and I see an English colony. Again I wish there was a "distance to colonize" like there is in V:R

There is definitely a need for an enhancement in the way regiments and ships are built though. Need to be able to either queue units or build multiple units at once. The "click the province, click the build button, click the unit" in 20 provinces thing is kind of a pain.
Consider this your warning: the AI fields big armies.

_17000_ man army at Paris.
I had to back up and reorganize into a 26k force taking massive attrition to crush it.

Well, burgundy is one of the richest countries in Europe early, and they will field as much mercenaries as they can afford.. Especially in a war versus France.
