Where's the activity

Haha, they have caught on with a load of people in the UK...maybe because ads like these would never ever ever be seen on our TV screens. Ever.

I am from the states and most of the advertisements I see make me want to throw a brick through my TV...

All a matter of perspective I guess. [;)]

No doubt, same here.

I check in and read posts fairly regularly, but only post when I have something worthwhile (that would be "worthwhile" in my own judgement of course) to say. Not sure that number of posts correlates to interest or even to activity. I am always interested in what people are learning about the game that might help me defeat the forces of evil and grow my own glorious empires. Buy low, sell high.

Probably because the BBC actually realizes you might be intelligent. US advertisers seem to think we're all a bunch of drooling morons. [8|]

Haven't posted or played for a bit now.

Real life and work and waiting to see if the issue about being able to sustain a long war is addressed.

With CIV 5 being Steam released I'll put more time into DW this fall.

Civ 5 looks amazing with the updated combat, something that has been a long time coming in that series. [:D]

But Steam is mandatory to even play CIV 5. So I won't be.

Is getting steam really a big issue? I hesitated for weeks but eventually downloaded it and hasn't caused me trouble.

I never cared for Steam or any other invasive DRM. Thats one reason I stick with and send people to Matrix. There are several titles from otehr developers I would love to get but I refuse to purchase a game that requires an online connection just to play offline.

Steam sounds like good old fashioned spyware to me, and I will not have anything to do with it.

You don't need an online connection to play, just to download and validate the game once.

I love steam. You shouldn't underestimate the community feature it has. Getting into an online game with friends is so incredibly easy. And being able to chat in-game with friends while playing games (not on the same server, or even same game) is awesome. And then there is the automatic updating, and last but not least: incredible sales! Just got HoI 3 + brand new expansion for 66% off!!

High, guys, I'm back from no-internet-connection-hell. Just moved house, and man does it suck not having high speed internet at home!

[jalapen0]

That does suck. I always try to time it so I have internet within 2 days of moving into a new place.

[WoodMan]

Hehe, welcome back Sean, yeah when you move home, internet should always be the number 1 priority [:D]

Man, this forum is dead. As awesome as this game is, I'd expect it to liven up a little.

My theory: DW lacks multi-player or even way to upload competitive scores to a web site as in Galactic Civilizations. Even if only a fraction of buyers ever venture into MP I've noticed that they contribute a contagious buzz to a release that can be lacking in games that are strictly single player.

[WoodMan]

Hmm, I personally think Multiplayer would spoilt it.  How can you have 20 people that sit and meet up at exactly the same time to play a full game of DW, its not like Call of Duty where you can just jump in and out whenever you want.  Also, the fans and developers of GalCiv seem to agree that what made the single player so great and particularly the development of the AI over time was that the developers dedicated their time to making a single player game and not making any of the compromises that would be needed to make it multiplayer.

[jalapen0]

I like single player and multiplayer. I think this game would work great for multiplayer, if only 2 or 3 people at a time. 20 is usually excessive for a game like this but hey, they do it in EU3.

Off topic: HOI3/SF - Awesome game!

On Topic: I think many players of DW are waiting for the next patch / a couple of patch to get it where it needs to be. The mechanics of the game are great, but manual/auto AI have some confusion/cross contamination which cause problems.
