Anyway, for the technical issue, you might find it useful to post a more polite version of your problem in the Apothecary. The official support issue might be more problematic - Kingdoms is quite old, perhaps support has been withdrawn.

By all means continue to discuss the general theory proposed, but please let's be clear that complaints should not mutate into CA bashing, which is against the Org rules.
Well, I have never had these problems with any other game, and if medieval II runs without a problem one would think the expansion would too.

And yes, I would post in the apothecary if main issue was getting the game to work... However, I have already spent a bit to much time on a bad product.

THIS thread however was more towards the bad support.

I don*t know what theory you meant, so I guess I will have to make a theory to discuss...

I have a theory that CA do not mind stressing a game out to the level where it is unplayable (seen in medieval 2 where everyone, not just one or two users), as in the dead battlefield AI. And I also have this theory that as soon as a new game is out, CA completely drop the ball on every previous game.

One would also be able to theorize that CA cant even be bothered to make their own support-sites actually exist, nor return calls when promised.

All in theory.


If that is the theory, I guess question would be: At what point are you as customer allowed money back, or even better, get paid some extra too for your waste of time? With the gaming industry as it is, I think this is a good question.

I heard somewhere that computer game companies have a clausule hidden somewhere that you buy the game "as is", meaning, you buy what you get. If it doesnt work, bad for you, not the companys fault. Anyone know about this?
