I bought Political Machine 2008 and intend it as a gift. It's stuck on my own account right now, but if there's any way of doing otherwise I'll be happy to know. cheers, and Merry Christmas!
I only have a laptop, but it is strong enough for TBS up to now. It's lagging with Civ4, but still capable. So I don't bother... yet. My interests grasp more of certain things out of games, and I DO buy computers for other reasons I know I game I wanted to see the demo: my laptop would not take it so just too bad. Sad, but first things first. You see, some gamers get jaded or interest
Thank you very much Phoenix :) I just started to look at this more seriously, and now it makes more sense. GalCiv is powerful :HOT: But it doesn't show truly to someone who doesn't research further :(
erm... why should one chose to take morale then when he could go for economy or (better) growth. Growth just seem maniac: 6 points = +80% growth. At this point, you start laying eggs. I am sure that balancing issues were considered, so I do not understand how come it costs more to get even more morale while adding only 2 points passes from 40 to 80% growth bonus (while growth seems to give alot more). In comparison, it would cost 6 to get +50% social/military/scientific production...<br
Hi... I just wonder really the mecanism behind that... You see, it could be +10% morale -> +10% people paying taxes -> +10% production since production comes from taxes which come from people paying them because you were able to bring imposition up. So how does it work REALLY? What's the difference between morale, economy and taxes bonus? [Message Edited]
