Im a great AC fan. But there are still some annoying things in the game that must be fixed:
1: - A city that has an Auto-gouvernor should never be rioting (I hate it so much when they suddenly decide to go to another faction) At least there should be a warning that the gouvernor cant fix the rioting problems because the city wouldnt have enough food.
2: - You should be able to exclude some building from the list of the gouvernor. (I dont need a centauri reservat in every city) The best thing would be if you could give preferences to the buildings. The ones with **** would be build first etc.
3. - I absolutely want an auto plant forest option for my terraformers. I prefer forests to all the other terraforming possibilities and I dont understand why I always have to controle every single former to plant it.
What are other gamers thinking. Do you share these complaints?
To FIRAXIS: Will these points be fixed in the next patch? Please answer.

I agree with you that these should be fixed. However, this message probably would be heard better in the "bugs" section.
BTW, patch 4 is coming out any day now, so this is a candidate for #5 if it hasn't already been fixed in 4, because it's too late for them to change it now.

E_C,
I'm all for drawing a line under things - what's dones's done etc - but do you really in your heaart of hearts belive we'll see patch 5.
Do you mean SmacX?
A question for all you philosphers out there. How many patches does it take to make a game manufacturer to admit that they fucckd up in the first place?
Answers on a postcard.

try micromanaging. It's a lot less heartache.
I thought there was a way to exclude buildings with governors. I never used them so I'm not sure. Same with terraformer options. I'll have to check that out.

Guess there is no way to do those things. But I definately agree with you first point. A base should never riot more than 1 turn. This explains why the enemy ai is so horrible. I see there cities riot a lot. Of course they never lose them. On conquered cities I just let them starve until police units are in place.

Krushala....it s more fun to change the base's name for a bit just to piss the enemy off then obliterate it unless you absolutely think you need the base to further enhance your military ops. At least for me anyway cause I am so mean. :I

The computer ai changed the name of one of my bases. It sure pissed me off, but I couldn't get it back. I was seriously out teched. I usually avoid sanctions unless it's a scenario or something short term.
