Well, well what a lot of emotive people we have here! Sorry I burst your bubble (not!)
If you disagree with me say so and why and I'll respond as to my thinking - don't have a tantrum like a spoiled child!
Thank you at least, Balthagor, for not getting involved in the flaming. It seems that some of the shoot first, think later crowd failed to read my post in the way it was intended and went ballistic in consequence - well tough luck - but unlike them I've had my say without resorting to making personal attacks - strange really since one or two of the other postings here were rather more critical than the one I posted.
To restate the point. I bought SR2010 within a few months of it's initial release (you know the Strategy First one) and it did as a matter of fact contain bugs - for the selective readers - take the shades off and look at the bug reporting section of the forum - I was going to make a facetious comment here but the irony would be wasted. As I said in my post, these have gradually been fixed since the initial release by the developers as I said in my post. For those of you that have selective reading you will note that I mentioned that the developers were responsive to the community.
As to the housekeeping update point - this was merely illustrative of some of the minor things which have been mentioned in the forums - some by me (e.g. getting rid of irrelevant platforms, references to non-used technology), some by others (e.g. alpha sorts of technology, "regional" leader pics) all of which are relative no-brainers to implement.
I'm staggered that some posters on the forum got so bent out of shape over my earlier post - I had not attacked anyone but merely stated an opinion - Still sometimes some people just can't handle something that doesn't accord with their rosy view of the world without getting all emotional - very common with very young children too! Some of the other posts made in this thread particularly those critical of the AI etc, may have some validity too but clearly to correct some of the points made there would take considerable effort on the part of the developers compared to the sort of things I was suggesting in my post.
Certainly some progress was made with the AI in the last update or so to make it more aggressive, but for example it seems to be lacking still with amphibious warfare and air operations as stated elsewhere.
I do hope that in future the flamers to my posts will just take the time to properly read my posts without being "selective", challenge what they disagree with in a polite, civilised way and so get their reply. If they cannot handle a critical post because it is not fawning then they will just have to get over it.
As to when I became active on the forum - is that really a relevant issue?
and while he may not have submitted any bug reports being a late arrival to the forum, he has made many good posts. He's allowed to be disappointed, we can't be everything to everyone, some ppl will want something different than what we've created. I only took issue with the bug statement because I believe it is wrong.
