Anyone have thoughts on the game? I liked it at first, but man, it is filled with bugs and gameplay issues.

Edit: nevermind, i just went back and read some of the older posts. how'd i miss those? seems like everyone has similar thoughts. This game is disappointing.

I have been thinking of switching back to civ IV. AI is terrible, diplomacy is a joke, tech tree is linear even though I'm pretty sure they said you can pick a branch and follow it while bypassing certain techs, there are so many useless buildings in the game it's quite unbelievable, barbarians are ######ed, AI doesn't use naval forces, they never invade from continent to continent. If they do send units out, there is never a naval vessel to protect them, it's easy pickins sinking perfectly good units out on the open waters.

Couldn't they have record more than one saying for the English speaking leaders? "WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTER INTO A TRADE AGREEMENT WITH ENGLAND?" Hearing that 80 times in one game is freaking annoying.

Peace agreements are insanely stupid. If you take a city or two and they offer peace, they will give you everything they have.

If a war is at a stalemate, the AI will ask for everything you have. Why the F would I give you 4 cities in a peace agreement if you haven't even taken one from me yet?

I was in a stalemate with Bismarck, who was much stronger than me (he could have crushed me had he known what he was doing), I didn't want the war to go on because I couldn't last, so I built a nuke and an aircraft carrier and went to bomb Berlin. I offered peace before I launched and he rejected it, so I nuked Berlin. I was hoping that nuking their capital would have changed their minds into a peace treaty, but no. Same old same old.

I could go on forever about the number of things wrong with this game.

I really can't wait for the patch. it will be a miracle if they actually fix what is wrong with this game.
