The original poster misses the point completely. The horror marks and curses are... a gamebalancing factor. They mitigate the snowball effect of gaining experience and equipment on a supercombatant that may become nearly indestructible later, thus breaking the game. Curses and marks are not accessible to anyone - cures may be a level 1 spell, but you must have both lvl 1 nature and astral, and that's not so common. I actually like how in Dominions various features balance each other out.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="24" id="2970335"] Fact is - physical copies of PC games are going away. Better get used to it.[/quote] And good riddance, I say! I play the game, not hug the box. It's a needless waste of resources - packaging virtual content into a painted paper box full of air and transporting it over the globe. I always considered it an atrocity.

I am a great fan of these old, atmospheric and intense text-only masterpieces - games from Infocom like Beaurocracy, Mind Forever Voyaging, Enchanter, or old hits from Level9 and Magnetic scrolls. The tradition is alive till today, with modern entries aimed to be true interactive prose rather than simple collection of puzzles. More can be found out at  http://ifarchive.org I recommend titles from Andr

I don't say that everyone must love dominions 3, I just wanted to point out that it does some things extremely well - the synergy between magic and troops, the depth and volume of lore, the diversity, combat system. In certain are, it's weaker - interface, AI. However, Battlefield and Totalwar both suffer the commercial syndromes - shallow gameplay, unfixed bugs that last for years. I remember that it took years for CA to fix bugs like shields subtractin

1500+ units/monsters, 600 spells, 300 magic items, many diverse nations to play, deep lore, real-world mythology based. Immense amount of work went into the game which is being patched till today - you don't see that kind of dedication in throw-away commercial clones like Total War series or Battlefield. Plus, the game is really unique in many aspects, I think it's worth the price because it can literally keep you busy for years of gaming.

The last turn was a bit too close for comfort. I had more than 75 minutes when I started planning my turn, but in the end, I sent it at 23.04 CET, and new turn was generated 23.05 CET. I was praying real hard for the mail to arrive successfully, and indeed it did - but I did not even received the confirmation. I am used to check all the unit formations, update spell scripts with recently researched novelties, reformulate plans, etc. I am now nearing to 2 hours of entering the moves an

To the death, indeed. And so leaves the great Hef, last of the Ancient Smiths, after sallying forth from the gates of Ermor. Valiantly he stood when everyone else fell under the blades of monkey demons, but in the end, his blood quenched the eternal thirst of the scorched, dry land of the Lake of Vastness shores. And so passes the pretender who out of his pride did not want to pay a tribute of ten pearls, choosing to pay with his kingdom instead. May his fate be

What is the difference between X3 - Reunion and X3 - Terran conflict? Terran conflict sequel/better/successor? Or just an expansion? If expansion, can those two be played together somehow? Thanx

[quote who="Polistes" reply="34" id="2964206"] Learning how to exploit these things should be our top priority considering our situation. Also not to mention finding a new home and learning how to build up the infrastructure is also important, Earth is dying we will need a new one in the the short term future.

For example, let's presume that I will run a SSL-encrypted torrent seed/peer. My ISP won't be able to decode what data are pouring in and out. What will they accuse me of? Excessive traffic? Suspicious number of TCP connections? Encryption usage? It's all just another "boo hoo" crap to scare people. Serious warez operators will start to use encryption. Some dumb people will get caught and "server as an example" at pompous trials, like it happened in the past. <p
