:ok: :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok: for the game itself..... :not_ok: :not_ok: for it's AI

I don't understand :blink: . Is AI the famous patch? So how a patch could be :not_ok: when a game is :ok:? And why publisher should make a :not_ok: patch for a :ok: game? Why people should use a :not_ok: patch if the games is :ok:? :crazy: ....

the AI is :not_ok: ....not the patch to improve it :P

The AI is still the same (pretty awful) in the patch, it simply makes the computer players more aggressive to try and compensate. It's a good game, but the poor AI eventually gets on your nerves - before that point it's well worth playing.

Definately a :ok: . Unless you use the old roman way, in which case it is a :not_ok:
Meaning it is a good game.

This was one of the best games I've ever played. Period. Bought it when it first came out and spent countless sleepless nights on it. It's awsome! I think I'll break out the CD and play again :P

ps - when is ascendancy 2 coming out haha

Help! I can't see anything on screen but randomw colors! does windows xp run dos games???

Nope, use DOSBox

I don't actually like the patch. Yes, it does make the other races more aggressive. But in doing so it basically eliminates the whole diplomacy side of the game. It's not a huge part, but it's still nice to be able to at least make an alliance with the other races.

Only race I have played with they ever got me alliances was the Baflids (sps) and that was without the patch. :wall:
