[quote who="Uvah" reply="12" id="3653139"] Windows has been skinned since it was knee high to a grasshopper. Figures, in its adolescence, it would need SD products to pull it up by its boot straps. [/quote] Start8 has made Win8.1 actually usable for me. It's too bad the SD products don't fix the glaring privacy holes - among other issues in Win10. Have to go elsewhere for those, sometimes to new and untrusted sources :( Of course

Thanks for posting about this. I asked about it during a recent stream, but don't think I posted here about it to follow up. (maybe I did, i forget!) Still hasn't been really clarified whether this is intentional or indeed a bug. If it is intentional, I just may dig into modding a bit to change it, I have already found it in the xml files. But after finding it, I really hadn't decided to go any further hoping it was a bug to be fixed.

[quote who="A1exej" reply="7" id="3653154"] Recipes yes, wouldn`t post it if it was about materials [e digicons]:)[/e] and yes I do have libraries, scribes and jewelers built in all cities but bows are only weapons I can make. Guess I was unlucky on recipes [/quote] You can also get more recipes via the minor factions. Once you get one/them to ally with you, that is one of the things you can ask for sometimes. Also check your sovereign tree to see if

Do you guys happen to have any screenshots of LH running with the higher res UI? I only run at 1920 x 1200 myself, so won't see what the new look is until I next upgrade monitors. Or haul my desktop out to my living room to plug into my 4k TV, but no plans for that any time soon!

[quote who="A1exej" reply="5" id="3653050"] About weapons, I do have 3 cities one of them level 9 and fairly strong army yet I can`t craft any weapons yet [/quote] Do you have a lack of recipes or a lack of crafting materials?

[quote] How many of you would like the Neutrals to play as full on major civilizations ala FE/Civ/etc that are trying to also ascend, conquer each other, etc. Versus how many of you prefer to keep the rivalry between you and the SK? [/quote] That is a tough call. Unless you still have some way of still trying to get them to ally with you (or the SK get them to ally with him), I'd prefer it to stay the way it is. So instead of say them bein

http://gizmodo.com/hp-apologizes-for-busting-peoples-printers-on-purpose-1787230865 Well, that was somewhat quick. I do predict they will be more careful in the future. Not that they will not allow this to happen, I just think they'll start selling the printers with warnings that off-brand ink won't work up-front.

[quote who="nicknamealreadyinuse" reply="2" id="3651791"] Just encountered same issue. Happened when defending the city from a Looter attack. Prior to the battle, Nephaz was the only garrison. On the same turn, a Sentinel unit completed construction. After the battle the entire army: Nephaz, Sentinel, and two freebie archer city defenders was NOT garrisoned, but was standing on the spot where a new unit usually exits the city. [/quote] Those extra d

Still seeing the bug where city defenders end up out of the city. At the same time it actually duplicated my whole army as well. Saved as soon as it happened, file attached. This is near first city "frozen keep" Seemed to happen just after a city defense tactical battle. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5804849/hosted%20for%20web/dwarf.EleSav Let me know i

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="3650240"] However, the Tesla superchargers are free and, in my case, my Solar array powers my car. [/quote] Wasn't there some talk of those Superchargers not being free forever? Well, at least not for newer buyers. I think I had read that anyone who starts with that would always be grandfathered in, but newer buyers or maybe it was different models would be paying to use those chargers. I'd sti

IIRC, that is a random recruit at a certain Fame level. I think maybe the 50 or 100 level, but I am not at all sure. What you can do (if that is the right fame level) is save-scum just before hitting the fame milestone. And then keep reloading the game until you get the right random recruit. Think I didn't have to mess with that, as I just played that many games where, eventually I just had those type of recruits on accident. So you could always go that route.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="2" id="3644084"] Why you might see KB3035583 again… and again, and again, and again ............. I think I've seen this patch about 10 times over the past few months, and have hidden it every time, I can't wait for July 30th, and hope there are no more patches like this!

[quote who="Cauldyth" reply="1" id="3643115"] Hopefully they spend 1/10th this much effort on the gameplay itself. [/quote] They'll put in all the effort, you just don't receive that until the 1st or 2nd Exp. Pack.
