That first fix is great. Was a pain in the ass looking for that one worker who stopped for some reason.
I just wish they would release multiplayer mod support already...
Sorry for bumping but I'd really want an update which updates the workers not to "wake up" once an enemy is near them. Even if there is a barrier of high mountains, they still panic.
This was a pain in the arse for me when a couple of barbarians was on another side of a mountain and just stood there forever. My workers woke up every round from their work. Annoying as fuck.
fuck DLC's they ruined expansions
We still get the "Please wait" hang occasionally on multiplayer, it takes us forever to find the unit that needs orders :rolleyes:
Have they added animations to the MP yet?

Nope
Wish my game would stop saying "Please wait" so much.
[QUOTE=Magistrate;32233921]fuck DLC's they ruined expansions[/QUOTE]At least we still have mods

So... When can i save in MP games? or have any kinds of animations? Thanks heaps for selling me the Beta though. Awesome con-job!
You can already save in MP, I have no idea why there aren't any animations yet though... maybe to make the game a bit easier on your system in MP?
[QUOTE=turtlehead;32249815]You can already save in MP, I have no idea why there aren't any animations yet though... maybe to make the game a bit easier on your system in MP?[/QUOTE]turns are faster without animations
and that is why they will never add animations
That makes sense, but I'd still like the ability to turn it on or off. I mostly play with friends and turns take ages anyway so I'd like animations to make things a bit more interesting to look at.
I still wish the War/Diplomacy AI was even just half as intelligent as it was in Civ 4. Now it just feels like it relies on the high-difficulty cheats it gets to even have a chance at winning. It wasn't amazing in Civ 4, but it was certainly a lot better than this.
People are seriously STILL bitching about no animations in MP? It's like they don't realize they did that for a reason.

it's a personal preference that should be an option IMO
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;32251902]People are seriously STILL bitching about no animations in MP? It's like they don't realize they did that for a reason.[/QUOTE]At least give ME the chance to decide that. I fucking HATE those arrogant devs that are everywhere these days that want to dictate how you're allowed to play. They can fuck right off and create something as simple as an options screen. Bioware have been doing this shit since ME1. Restricting the players control for artsy reasons.

There are no animations in MP so that turns go quicker and there is less thumb twiddling so that makes the devs arrogant fucks? That is so incredibly stupid I can hardly believe that you're serious with that remark.

No, they are arrogant twats for not giving the players the choice to have animations on or off. You know, options.
If you play it with friends and everyone loves the animations why must they be forced to not have them on? They're most likely prepared to spend 16 hours playing the damn match anyways.
It's hardly arrogance and it's still stupid to say that. The game does have options, lots of them, just not that one for MP so what's the big fucking deal? Why is it SOOOOOOOOOO important?

It's an option that could be added in 5 seconds.
I don't think they are saying it is soooooooooooooo important. But it's the fact that it isn't there and should be there and it would improve the overall enjoyment of the game for them.
Who gets this option? What if not everyone wants to watch 30 animations? Why should that person suffer because of someone else? If they had made animations mandatory would you people still be bitching that there should be an option? I doubt it.
[QUOTE=dgg;32253762]It's an option that could be added in 5 seconds.[/QUOTE]
Unless they built the majority of the multiplayer component from scratch.
They might well have done, seeing as movement from tile to tile would likely be calculated server-side.

The option would be where every other option is, in the lobby screen.
Don't play a game where they have animations ticked on? Sounds like a smart thing to do. And I'm pretty sure the majority would want it off so that wouldn't cause a problem when looking for servers either.
I kind of like the animations turned off. In Civ4 it made games pretty slow but I like the suspense of seeing the units fight it out.

Playing a 6-7 hour game with a stranger? Fuck no! I'd still love the option as much as i'd love to be able to control my companions combat roles in DA2. Both things their prequels offered. In the case of DA2 it's artst rebellious devs fucking us over. I dunno about Civ5 but at release i felt like i bought half a product and MP is still hardly done.
There could be options for NO animations, Sped animations and normal animations. Animations served to bring focus to what other players were doing and what you were doing. It gets pretty difficult to track moves and decisions without them as indicators. I don't see the problem in giving me a choice, but because having them is not ideal for YOU 90% of the time, i should not have the option?
This is what i dislike in some post 2010 games. What USED to be an option is replaced by a "lolno" sign and any complaints are waved off with "lolart".
I'd like the ability to just see the combat animations, it's so much more awesome and clear if you see units fighting it out and seeing how many died instead of '-4' or in some cases just the teleportation of your units into the tile of the enemy.
That's just my two cents though.
