[quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="3" id="3526589"] But you're probably getting a LOT of "casual buyers" in the beta process with your current 50% off GalCiv 3.... [/quote] Yea that's right. I bet there are A Lot of impulse purchasers. - which is how a lot of developers probably make a good chunk of their sales. I imagine it's the driving force behind Steam. Hmm, the word impulse sounds familiar, like an echo from the past. [e di

B4 Bug: "you have not picked a spell to research" - but I'm well into the game? in Sorcerer King Support SorcererKing Forums

So, I'm well into the game and I notice that the "choose a spell" indicate hasn't popped up in a while. The box at the top right that indicates turns until you can choose another spell just shows this "--", and when I scroll over it the pop up says "you have not yet picked a spell to research". This is strange. Did I somehow miss a turn when I should have chosen a spell and lost the ability to ever choose another one? I realize that there i

A happy user of adfly. Hmmm, no bias there. .. And if you bothered reading my post you would see that I use av and anti malware programs. But never let reading comprehension get in the way of an opportunity to insult someone. .. And the fact that you are praising adware shows that you are either naive or a scumbag. I bet you believe Lenovo when they claim to have installed superfish for the consumers benefit. ..

[quote who="moshi" reply="2" id="3525807"] adf.ly is a legit (though highly annoying) url-shortening service that generates money for site owners via advertising. it's not malware, it's not even software (depending on the definition of software of course) my guess is that what happened to your computer is an infection with some malware that makes income for the malware developer by generating clicks on adf.ly urls. the links you provide at the end of your po

Adf.ly is browser hijacking malware in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Hopefully this is old news to most people here. Adf.ly poses as a legit site that allows businesses to earn money for each visit. It supposedly just pops up an ad before taking the visitor to the intended site. However, if you are attempting to download a file, and adf.ly pops up, get out immediately and don't download the file!!! As I said in the title, it will hijack your browser, and redirect you to all sorts of unwanted sites. AV programs will not pro

Interesting how no one has addressed the specific content of the article. When you have nothing meaningful to contribute, resort to foaming at the mouth insults, name calling and mockery. [eye rolling smiley] Throughout this thread, have I ever come across as an alarmist? Go ahead, and try to find a quote where I said the sky was falling. It doesn't concern you in the least that a climate change denier was funded by those with a financial interest in maintaining th

[quote quoting="post"] 2. Empire building. This is a really good discussion because really, that is the crux of the argument for the game: Is the game about your EMPIRE or about the Party of heroes you're putting together? I.e. where should the focus be. 4. Early game setup. One of the things I'd be interested in hearing from you guys on are "advanced setup" options for hard core players. Since I write the code that would handle this, I would be d
