Lets build a bridge in 6 min OK thats real. Why do the people who developed this game feel the need to add realism to it. I sure as hell never voted for that. The game started out as pieces of cardboard, now that the computer age has caught up with us now we go from cardboard to realism.
Has the game and what its based on changed ?? I thaught this game was susposed to take out all the cardboard pcs. The unfitting maps and the family pet ruining your 10hr battle. But no someplace down the line here somebody wanted realism in it. Well I agree with Ed, MR Roadrunner as a comsumer I didn't get what I wanted I got what you as developers wanted me to play. Who can up with the var. visability rule how and the hell can you defend weather changing every 6 min.
Ok so I had to vent Why is everybody pilling on Ed, he just stating his opinions and would like some answers , so do I. No wait SEND ME THE FILE thats about the standard answer . Well thats about it !!!
Like I said, we can't please everyone. If you don't like the game don't play it, or don't upgrade if you liked an older version. Pity, but you're not the only one who might have purchased a game that doesn't suit your needs. I have game titles on my own shelf that I don't play for the same reason.
You obviously also don't understand the abstractions in this game. A turn lasts six minutes supposedly but the first turn and and the 10th turn can be several hours apart. Now figure that out. If you succeeded you'll understand how short sighted your six minutes remarks were. If you can't, well I already said this game might not suit your needs.
Everybody (well not everybody I assume) is pilling on Ed beause he repeatedly calls other people's work rubbish, at least as far as I'm concerned. It's an opinion he's entitled to, but you don't make friends or earn respect that way especially as the criticism comes without examples or solid arguments WHY it is not good. It's also contra-productive because nobody in the dev team now bothers to listen to him anymore after so many rants.
