| TBH I'd really given up on the total war series after the abysmal failure that was Empire. Even with mods its just a fundamentally broken game with poor pathfinding, AI and clone armies. I skipped napoleon till it was going cheap on a steam sale. Nice improvements that were half way to Shogun but th... |

| Been into their games since Hearts of Iron and EU 2 came out many moons ago. CK2 has been probably one of the most decent games they have done in awhile that didn't take a couple of patches and expansions to fix. They also have some good developers under their belt now. Quite a lot to look forward t... |

| Stick to low density to begin with. Your region (not just the one city) needs to reach a certain population level before certain buildings will develop. Also your cities need to be linked together via road/rail or public transport to operate as one region instead of individual cities. So medium dens... |

| Its certainly interesting. Though from the early videos the impression I got is there is a tower defence element to the gameplay that minecraft doesn't really have. (i.e. you have these alien creatures attacking you and your creations) The first video I remember seeing was someone building a structu... |

The warning signs were all there this was going to be a total farce. No sympathy to people who actually bought this POS urination on the sim city franchise
Even amazon has stopped selling digital copies of the game  |

| The way the online component works is a similar system to what Diablo 3 has If you frequent any communities involved in the "scene" you will discover that this kind of setup has made Diablo 3 impossible to crack or effectively pirate properly. The new Sim City game will potentially be the same probl... |

| You should look for a "barebones" system that just gives you a basic PC setup and saves you having to assemble it all together in the case. So all you have to do is slot into the PCI-E a graphics card n stuff like that The advantage of building it yourself from scratch is you can choose the componen... |

You can definitely see they were experimenting with the engine for this game when they added all those naval features for Fall of the Samurai add-on for Shogun 2
If it's as good as Shogun 2 was it will certainly be worth the wait |

I would also insist that you have an opportunity to air your views to your local commissioner and/or the coun... |
