This applies to the real humankind as well, but rn I'm venting about the game
My 3rd play-through, each time I had to just give up because bugs just pile up. Can't make peace, can't make war, this last time the game told me my civilization had fallen when an AI captured the last city of another AI...
i'm a pervert. i play the game peacefully till the very end untill there's nothing left to do but conquer other nations. maybe my playstyle was not on their priority list?..
what you describe is core features being utterly broken. like that's a total huge fuck up
No it's gonna be fine, they'll fix it. I like the game. The AI is much faster (and less stupid) that Civ already. The endgame is really very broken rn, it's not even a single issue, things just start falling apart where your peace treaties don't work, sides get confused, you can't move units, but a lot of it seems to be the save/load issue--if you can play an entire match in one sitting it works fine.
if you sell people a product, they should get a product that works that they paid for. like the game looks great and all, and I am sure they will fix it, but this is a real bad look on their part honestly to ship a broken game
yeah the whole "alpha" game stuff has become totally out of control
looks like i'm waiting to get this one
really seems like it should've had an open beta or something, if the devs are good that seems like it'd be a great way to test lots of scenarios.
edit: oh it had a long ass beta, lol
