Reply to Fantasy wars in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

King's Bounty is made by the same company as Fantasy Wars. I played it, and it gets really challenging by the 3rd or 4th mission. The trick is not to lose units and purchase the right units at the end of each mission. Also try to at least get the bronze trophy this way, you get more cash. OH yeah.. read the manual and be very much aware of how terran and unit combos affects combat outcomes.

Reply to Naval tactics in the modern age and why I think they are misrepresented in Sins. in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

oh my god, this thread is in a sense very funny. I don't believe the poster can compare modern day naval warfare to spaceship combats in Sins. Come on, it is a sci fi game. Unless someone wants to turn Sins into a TV show like Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Remember those combats in those Dominion Wars episodes. I think that comes as close as what can be compare to modern day naval combat. But then, making Sins' combat that fast will make the game tedious, repe

Reply to What would be viable copy protection? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

@sandstig About torrent sites removing torrent links on request, i think when Galciv 2 came out after a few weeks, some of the torrent sites were pretty good at agreeing to do it. I read that stardock have actuallly requested them to do it. I know Isohunt specifically requested that if a publisher request that links to torrent downloads be removed, they would agree to such a request.

Reply to What would be viable copy protection? in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

The sad thing about copy protection is that if people really want to copy/pirate/distribute something illegally, they will do it regardless of protection or no protection. As far as torrents sites goes, well..at least the english version of various torrent sites like The Pirate Bay, IsoHunt, MiniNova, and others are relatively nice when it comes agreeing to publisher's request to delist torrents links. On the other hand, if the torrents sites are from non english sources

Reply to Spore popularity dropping fast, almost spiraling. in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Before Spore came out, I think Bill Wright stated that each phase of the game will be based on some well known mini games from other sources, including other classic video games. When i first saw that, the first thing i ask is, well in that case, Spore has to do sorta separate type of game for each phase, and can this be done well. I don't know, but i love to find out for myself as in playing it. Unfortunately, i don't have much time these days to play a game lik

Reply to Forbes: Spore’s Piracy Problem in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

When Microsoft came out with the Windows Genuine advantage program, people were very very pissed off because of it. It means that it punish people who actually owns a legit copy of windows. Because if you get updates, you need to go online and get verified whether your copy is legit or not. Now with the problem of piracy, the SD's impulse model is very similar to Genuine Advantage program. It is in many ways, the best non intrusive DRM ever around in the sense it doe

In Toronto Canada, if you work 40 hours a week it is consider full time, and anything over that is consider to be overtime by law. I disagree with those who says that 40 hours are little. In America, people live to work, in Eurpose and other places, people work to live. That is a huge differences. I was born in Hong Kong, and they work like dogs over there, some people work an average of 14 hours everyday. But there is this misconception that if by increasing t

I think it would be good if for Impulse, when a user looks at a product, there are links to previews and reviews. Also, people can watch live feeds of video previews and reviews from various review websites and also user/gamer feedbacks. I know that for Galciv 2 and Sins, it might not be necessary, but i do notice some of the games on SD central are from indie developers. I am assuming that lists of available purchases will be migrated to Impulse. If i am a casual gamer and i started to use I

I think the total medal counts between the U.S and China are pretty close to each other on a consistent basis. Well.. the games have only 3 more days to go then, it will be onto the paralympics.
