how long do the total war serries take to do AI turns when there are large battles?

Very little. They don't actually simulate the tactical battles, though- they just roll dice.

This can produce odd results. I once lost a battle (60% of my forced killed, 20% of the enemy) in auto-resolve. I went back a turn, ran it myself, and without ANY tactical consideration what-so-ever won it with only 10% losses to my force..

Pretty much all turn-based games just roll the dice on auto-resolve. I'm not sure what I'd prefer. It's certainly nice to be able to have very fast turn processing, but I'm not fond of odd battle outcomes. I'm not sure how auto-resolve would actually function in a game like Space Empires though, considering you design the ships manually.

Plus you can minimize in the next patch I belive. Big plus there.

I will add, despite my disappointment in the time it takes to process a turn, I do have confidence that the game will be fixed given the history and evolution of this game.

And I would not accept a full refund for it if it was offered. So I do like the game, and intend to play it once the processing of turns becomes more user friendly. But in response to the poll, I am not presently playing it.

If I could get refunds on games these are the games I would want my money back on.

Moo3
Ages Of Empire III
Civ III
SimCity 4
Tribes Vengeance ()
Quake 4
Doom 3
Half Life 2
Unreal 2
Reach for the stars
Various star trek games
Various civil war games
But mostly MOO3 and CIV 3.

I'd agree with most of that list, except MoO3, SimCity 4, Tribes, Doom 3 & Unreal 2, since I never bought those. But hey, if you want to offer me a refund anyway, I won't say no.

But seriously, Reach for the Stars. I bought it because it got a good review, and played it for about 3 days before giving up on it entirely. It was, to quote Fyron, positively mehtacular.

[Atrocities]

I could only play it for about four hours before uninstalling it. However I hear they recently, as long ago as two years, released version 1.4 of the game that improved it greatly. Too bad I gave the game disk away to good will.

Any one here ever play Imperium Galatica II?

Oh Civ 3 -- I loved it when it came out and still do!

I'd love a refund on Doom 3 though...

I wait for the next patch to arrive before i try my luck with SEV again. Which should have been 2 weeks ago, but will happen next week.
