Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein easily takes my number 1 spot. For those who haven't read it, it is nothing like the movie. It is well written, clean (language and content), and quite intelligent (a good chunk of it deals more with civic duty and the virtue of sacrifice then actual sci-fi stuff).
You lose.
The origin of the galactic civilization stargates is actually a fair bit earlier then that. As Draginol mentioned here WWW Link the galactic civilizations universe originated from a series of manuscripts he wrote in the late 1980's and early 1990's so it's safe to assume that the star gates preceded the movie by a sizable margin. Very true. I was
When the game came out both the core and the expansion.... Stargate Movie and Series was out and they could have at least got some theories from there at least.. Actually, you have your dates mixed up. The original GalCiv came out in 1993, a year before the movie Stargate. Also...in like 70k years..wouldnt they have just ascended? or at least forgot about
Same place as your other DL save files.
So 72s ain't suppose to happen? In one of my games the dreadlords came and had their starting planet with every tile one of those top end factories. Bug? The person who could best answer that would be Frogboy, who made no indication as such. Kryo mentioned that it is likely a bug, although it could have just been a fluke where multiple random events happened to create a unique result.
Oh no wonder the file is gone, the original post is over a year old Does this mean no one ever found another one? &nbs
Try the new links I just put up (post #51), those should work.
Max possible is 72. I've seen one old forum post claiming to have encounterd a 72, in DL, when a high PQ planet got doubled, then expanded, then doubled again by random events. Indeed you did. The thread and a copy of the save game (located on the last post) can be found here: WWW Link
I wanted to look again at that planet, but the links are all broken. Anyone grab a copy of it or fued if your there, still got a screenie of that planet? Damn it was insane though!!! A copy of the save game may be found here: WWW Link and here: WWW Link It was d
Wow, he complains, HAS THE CEO OF THE COMPANY PERSONALLY RESPOND IN 7 MINUTES TIME TELLING EXACTLY HOW TO FIX HIS PROBLEM, and still complains of poor service. Wow.
In the beginning of time, man had no understanding of simple science, so he created a god of the sun , one for the moon one for water and so on and so on. As man's understanding increased he shed most of his gods in favor of one God, although different clans still could not agree on the name of this god. Today we have many religions all claiming to be the master religion. To some he is God, Alla or Jesus. Regardless, we still have a God fugure, bec
Well religion is a pretty strightfoward social institution which developed as a coping/explanatory mechanism. It has pretty much outlived its usefullness (as we learned more about how the world actually works and didn't need to make up stories about ti anymore), but because of its nature it will stick around for a few more centuries before people completely give it up for dead (the way people indoctrinate their children is just scary). Not sure w
With all due respect and no offense meant at all, but people like Feud argueing the way they do always creep me out. I didn't think that I was arguing, and if I was tehn I did so by accident (I've always thought or an argument as having hostile or aggressive feelings, I thought of this more as a discussoin). I must say though that I find the line hillarious, "no offense or disrespect, but you creep me out". Thanks, that is the funnie
Hi! I'm glad you belive your prayers are answered. But since you refuse to recognize you can't post an answer to this post with a prayer, I'm out of this "discussion". Good luck! You'll need it. BR, Iztok I'll be honest in saying that I do not understand what you are trying to say. If you come back to visit the thread would you mind explaining it a bit more fully? You seem to have mixed in someone else's comments with m
I feel I need to point out once again that I am in no way Christian. I think it is a religion that has been mauled by the passage of times and too many hands in the basket. Your comments about everyone receiving their rewards doesn't really sit well in my gut, I was under the impression that your religion teaches that only those who are saved and believe in your doctrines will go to the highest heaven, is that wrong? Doesn't even the Jew have to accept Jesus as th
In all due honesty even though I respect your dedication to your religion even if I have absolutely no faith in it at all, I have to say that claiming that your religion and perhaps one other is directly descended from God's chosen few is the kind of tenant of faith that causes division. Do you believe that only your church is blessed by your god to teach the world about what is right and that all others are doomed? Is your way truly the only way to heaven? If I h
To those who said that god was witnessed by people and was passed down. How long was that? more than 2 thousand years ago. Just like you say something now, do you think that the words that you said will still be the same 2 thousand years later after being translated into several other languages of that time? How long ago? Well, since my denomination believes in a restoration of living Prophets, we
In any case the death of one person, however tragic it maybe of course, might be the cause of salvation for many others. God might decide to take that person close to Him for that reason. We have free will but God knows every possible outcome of every possible variable so He knows where each action leads. Prayer means faith in God and He can indeed be swayed by His Love towards us. That is why we also pray to Saints as they are closer to God and they act on our be
There's way too many such cases of "God works, but has the bigger picture in view when He answers you." for any rationale mind to rely on him. If prayers would give reliable results, science would not be needed. Unfortunattely in this universe that's not true. BR, Iztok Prayer is always reliable. I think you are mistaking reliability with an immediate "yes' answer. Science has it's place, don't get me wrong. It
Further, science does not always "work". A friend of mine some years ago was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. Due to the early stage of it, previous patients wiht similar conditions and the resources availible she was told that it would be a quick fix and a full recovery. Four months later she died in the hospital, after two months of agony and torture from both the cancer and the "cure". Science works, until it
Funny you named the only one event where God could have a word or two. What about the rest of 20 and some billion years? What about all the prayers directed to all the deities throughout the history? How many worked? How many of YOUR prayers worked? Now just turn on lighs in your room, and have a chat with your friend over Skype. Does THAT work? Even if it doesn't, we can explain why, and fix it. Can you explain why the prayer didn't work? <br
I can produce evidence that there is a God, and yet there is no evidence that there is none. And what evidence would that be Feud? Well, what evidence is required to prove that an event occured? How about eye witnesses? I suspect that you won't accept the eye witness accounts contained in the Bible, so I will not submit those. But were a man accused of a crime, would
Hi! I would like to ask those who consider tehmselves atheist, how is it possible that you can "know" that God does not exist? I don't know, but in my universe God is not needed. BR, Iztok When you say "(your) universe", do you mean the physical universe that we exist in, or your outlook and understanding of life/existance?
I am not just playing word games here, I am a total athiest. I do not believe in any God, I know that I will not go to hell, it doesn't exist When I die, I will mearly "shut down" my brain will stop working, there is nothing to fear apart from the unpleasant fact of death itself, I hope it will be painless and quick. Thats all. Marcus. You just stumbled upon the great fallacy that many athiests (though not a
