Reply to Any Master of Magic fans here? Is Elemental: War of Magic a Spiritual Heir to the Master of Magic lineage? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

No, Master of Magic's features are much more streamlined. Elemental is a bunch of more complex systems thrown together. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

UI Mod in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Has anyone looked into the .dxpack files yet? I've opened some of them up in Desktop X, but the only code I've seen handles resizing widgets. Has anyone else attempted to mod the UI yet?

But almost everyone agrees that there's a difference between terrorism and war crimes. Nearly all definitions in the literature would classify the Covenant's actions under the latter rather than the former, either because of their organization or intent.

There was a famous English professor and novelist who made a related point, much more eloquently than I can. But I'm no good at channeling Ian McKellan.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="18" id="2689592"]After release, we'll migrate executable code from C++ to Python so that actual routines can be rewritten by modders as well. We found that more users were comfortable with XML than Python for doing "basic stuff" so we migrated that way. [/quote] How much of a performance hit will this cause? Or will we be mostly calling C++ code from Python?

Reply to Why Starcraft II will not live up to the greatest RTS of the past decade. in Everything Else Sins Forums

I've played both Sins and Starcraft extensively and enjoyed both for various reasons. Starcraft is certainly the more tactically robust game, but it's difficult to say whether that makes it less strategic. It's possible to play Starcraft without planning, just as it's possible to play Sins without planning. It's not possible to play [i]well[/i] in either case.
