Paul...you lot are lucky in the U.K. We yanks can't return games here anymore unless we make a Federal caseout of it. Probably because of too many losers who played the games in one sitting, then brought them back for a refund so they could get another game and "win" it in one night. (to beat the game is all that matters to the Nintendo cum PC bunch of gamer DOODES. Once its done...its worthless to them.)
Quantum... its not you computer its your monitor! LCD aint for gaming yet. But look on the bright side: there's already a poll for screen resolution!

All I can say is if you guys are happy with things graphics-wise then so be it. I call it setting low-expectations and by simply accepting that then you can and will have to enjoy your ascii games until the end of time...

Quantum-enjoy your LCD monitor made for spreadsheets, word processing, internet surfing , solitair and mindsweeper.
Those of us who arent omplaining have a wide range of systems, monitors and gaming tastes as well. I play the latest FPS (though Doom3 will be out of reach on this rig) with cutting edge graphics as well as turn based games. I've been dazzled and razzled. And bored. And GalCiv looks fine to me because I'm playing the game, not looking at graphics and cooing over them or trying to impress my buddies with my neat computer.
Its been discussed enough. Stardock may add resolution changes in an upcoming patch or they may not...might depend on the poll. If you want to do something constructive, vote in the poll.
Other than that, just deal with it. Its not as if the game is so buggy or crappy its unplayable....and we all have had those experiences. There's lots in life that will come our way that doesnt meet our expectations. Worse things will happen to you, believe me.
So that you can feel better: We all have low expectations and will enjoy our crappy, games until they end of time while you will rise above the rest of us mired in the pit of mediocrity, rsing to the sky on a brilliant ray of heavenly light...you and your master computer..superior to the rank and file in every way. We gaze at you up there, and wave (but not too quickly or it might be BLURRY) wondering if, some day, we too migfht be as cool as you.
Feel better?
Go play some games!

Still entertained... And I haven't even had time to play a whole game so it is probably not best to bring up who gets out more...

I find it amusing how so many people can completey miss a point being made all because they are so busy defending a game/company that they probably spend too much time on anyways. I would hate to actually have a figure on how many of the folks on this board spend their entire evenings (if they even have a job during the day) instead of with their families. Oh wait, 45, single, still living with parents, makes sense now...
And oh yeah, I had a friggin atari 2600 and almost every game system or pc since then so drop the age bs... And yes, there are some C64 games that are still better than 99% of the crap that comes out today. That is why I buy 3-4 games an entire year for combined XBox AND PC... Most suck. Galactic Civ. doesn't suck...
1280x1024 just because...

Bobo say little mouse not gone yet. Still hear him squeaking. Bobo say folks not defending game, folks defending concept. But little quantum mouse not understand. Him just little kiddie playing big boy. Classic little teenage kiddie tactic to start insulting people when can't get point across.Bobo say to all peoples, let little quantum alone. Him not worth any more talk. Bobo go now. Bobo terrified of clever comeback and insult him get for sure. Ohhh. Bobo shaking too much.
