[quote]LOL I think thats why they are pushing August. Poor Froggy must be dreading the idea of listening to us try and change the foundation of his game for another 6 months. Even if he is to nice to say it .[/quote] On the other hand, he is professional ennough to desire and hope to be creating the new Master of Magic. The new StarCraft. The new Portal. The new Half-Life 2. The new KOTOR. In short, a game that will become a hallmark in the gaming community (at least, PC gamin

He won't succeed much, won't he? [e digicons]^_^[/e]
[quote]I think its been stated that we'll have access to a large chunk of the AI via python and XML. [/quote] I can't wait until pitting myself against the best AI the community will come up with.
[quote]You reserve your slot at retail. You miss your slot, you have to wait until the next open one. [/quote] How much sales do you hope to hit on retails as opposed to sales achieved through internet download? It always seemed to me Stardock has always been a bigger fish when it came to software sale, which is 100% independant of retail spot. Anyway, good work on the AI. I am so looking forward trying and buying this game!

There IS definite room for a race of Killer-Squirrels in Elemental. Speed bonuses and physical disadvantage. Don't ask how they mate with non-snathis, however. FOR THE GOD OF LOVE, DON'T ASK!
Here's an idea that was posted in Draginol's "Gameplay" journal: [quote] Looks great so far! But you know, something about the map doesn't strike me right. I mean, the world was quite scholarly before the Apocalypse, so why not represent the unexplored part of the map as a portrait of what the world looked like before the apocalypse? For instance, what was once known as verdent farmland would become, as you explore it, spoilands and blighted expanses. An impassable mountain range

[quote]What is Kim going to attack, NY city? Unlike SK, the UN does not have a country to attack. [/quote] You know, except the fact that Ban-Ki Moon is freaking South Korean . I think he wants to play it safe with his homeland. And anyway, NKorea would probably attack if any faction with significance in the country become too aggressive in their rethorics. U.N. is a faction with significance in the N/SKorea conf
[quote]Ban is not restricted by the consensus of the member states. he can speak out whenever he wants, and he has chosen not to.[/quote] Ban is restricted by the possible reaction of NKorea. He knows the possibility exist that NKorea will declare hostility again and make SKorea pay if people are too agressive in their rethorics. Which means I think we should prepare to go on the offensive. NKorea has lasted too long already. But nevertheless, whatever happens if hostilities b
[quote]You must have missed the actions of the LGBT group in San Francisco recently. It seems violence is not restricted to sexual preferences.[/quote] It's not. But saying that it's not restricted doesn't mean that it's never related either.
[quote]Clearly they have ample justification for just plain shutting down the Gaza strip until such time as terrorist actions are curtailed[/quote] What do you mean, "shutting down the Gaza Strip"? [quote]Both true, but then when has Israel not been on the defensive diplomatically? [/quote] There has been highs and lows, and this is definetly a high. Israel has often been given some slack by the U.S. and other countries because of the actions of terrorists, and
[quote]But since you need a qualifier, here goes... "I lead a heterosexual lifestyle". Here's something you might not be exposed to. I live in a mixed neighborhood, all the peoples mentioned above (and more) live on my street. They mow their lawns, check their mail, wash their cars just like I do. I'm really not seeing any major cultural differences. Even the political supports are from different backgrounds, it isn't rubbing off. Maybe if we were all from different countries, cult
[quote]North Korea sinks a ship with a torpedo. The UN does nothing. Israel stops a blockage runner, offers to send the "aid" through if they pull into a controlled port for inspection, fighting erupts with, wounded and causualties...and the UN Security Council is convened before the bodies are cold. WTF? Ban condemns Israel hours later and before an investigation...what has he said about North Korea? I must have missed it. Isn't he a South Korean? What is wrong with this picture?
[quote]Israel has some work to do. They got caught by their attempts to appease the anti-Semites and maintain security of their nation.[/quote] How did they attempted to appease the anti-Semitics? Seriously, if that attack is proof of anything, it's that they were overly careless in the way they were handling military responses, and didn't take ennough precautions. [quote] Indeed, this is going to make things worse for their enemies as they seek to ensure it does not happen ag

Ultimately, it is not what happened that matters, it's what will be remembered. And what will be remembered of this incident, I tell you? 19 people got killed while trying to bring supplies to oppressed people. It doesn't matter if it's a lie. It doesn't matter if there are "contextual elements". It doesn't matter if it was a provocation to begin with. That's what will be remembered.
By George Friedman On Sunday, Israeli naval forces intercepted the ships of a Turkish nongovernmental organization (NGO) delivering humanitarian supplies to Gaza. Israel had demanded that the vessels not go directly to Gaza but instead dock in Israeli ports, where the supplies would be offloaded and delivered to Gaza. The Turkish NGO refused, insisting on going directl
[quote]I didn't know being Black, or Mexican, or Puerto Rican was a lifestyle[/quote] Well, depends on what you define as a "lifestyle". Gay isn't a lifestyle, it's a sexual orientation. It's with who you sleep, not the way you live your life. It might influence the culture you will be exposed to and your political inclination, but then again, so does being black, mexican, or puerto rican.

Can I ask how a government-funded press agency would be less independant (or "free") than one supported by sponsors that have their own interests?
[quote]There are ideas here that can be developed into a better paper, but he failed to do so.[/quote] What part does he get wrong? The U.S. supporting Poland's military buildup to piss off Russia? Germany's desire to establish a dominance over Continental Europe? Because if you accept both premisce, then you can draw the conclusion that he does. if Germany wanted to have an economical hold over Europe, they've been weakening the credit margin of error to the European countrie
[quote]Bush did indeed start the boulder rolling down hill, but Obama is sticking a rocket on the sucker to make it go faster. [/quote] You might want to ask yourself if it's the natural path of your country from now on. I mean, Bush got elected as a Conservative, and governed pretty far away from being a fiscal conservative. Maybe your country just can't be a conservative anymore? Your country gotta change, ya know. Hm.. by the way, speaking of change, do you think your count
[quote]He seems to think that constant is the rule.[/quote] He seems to think consistency of situation will result in consistency of results, specially when it comes to Geopolitics. Britain will always focus on naval defense and trying to undermine unification of strenght on the Continent, as it always has. Russia will always try to dominate its neighbour to establish buffer defensive zone, as it always has. And ultimately, it isn't far from the truth. Clear set of geopolitica
