A non-colorblind artist is urgently needed. SoTS2 had terrible color schemes (neon bright red, pink and purple combinations), and these screens don't look any better.

Regional pricing should be and have been already successfully attacked at courts (at least in case of STEAM on EU territory). I consider it to be a totally unlawful practice.

I don't know if it strictly speaking fits into the category of "fantasy strategy games", but one game I have been playing a lot deserves mentioning: King of the Dragon Pass If you can, check it's modernized version on iOs, it's superb. If you can't, the old PC version is available at GOG.

Of course it's 2D. In 3D, blockading solar systems is much more problematic ;-)

Seriously, I don't thing you fully realize the scope of the problem. It's similar to saying: "Execution? I've had worse. Just chop me head off and be done with it." But once he sees the axe and the block, it's different song altogether. BTW the planet won't do anything, because it's an inanimate object.

I see you have forgotten the three best programming languages ever - Malbolge, LOLCODE and Brainfuck. Seek them out, they are fun! Ad regular expressions - you can use multiline switch and structure them as much as you like.

Warlock games do many things right, but what I like the most is the fact that a settlement is not a defenseless installation - finally, games like Civ5 and Warlock are getting it. The worst example of how not to do it is Conquest of Elysium, where you can lose a castle to a wandering deer - ridiculous. The population must be able to deal with minor threats by itself, or expansion is not really possible.

The game lacks soul. It's an eintopf of poorly integrated generally likeable fantasy elements, and many of its aspects (building placement) is just a chore with little impact on the game.

Upgrade to Lubuntu, no more fees, you can keep your old hardware since it's not as demanding as modern bloatware (no HW accelerated GUI shiny chrome, etc.) You could probably run the critical XP software in Wine, many applications work, including games. Stable, regularly updated, secure, and most importantly FREE operation system.

Terrorists, schmerrorists. It's good for one thing - users will learn to do incremental backups of their critical files on a physically separate device. It's easy with today's NAS home servers, start today, so you don't have to learn the hard way.

[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="4" id="3457946"] I have a question concerning XP. I read someplace, but I forgot where, that uninstalling " Internet Explorer" is also a good idea, if you are keeping Windows XP. When I went to uninstall it, a popup said, all the programs installed after having Internet Explorer may not work. Well that is all the programs on the pc. It seems odd, because it is only the browser Internet Explorer which would be uninstalled.

As a person who has been diagnosed with depression and took medication for a few years, I will share my notes on depression. - I personally believe that it's a result of a deeply unsatisfactory life our industrial and post-industrial society forces upon us. I mean, we are designed to run through forest, pick berries and hunt animals, to mate and experience both thrill and fear to which physical response is the right thing (fight or flight, etc.) All our hormon

But the west is already feeling the effects of peak oil in the form of so called "stagflation". The industrial and living inputs are rising in costs, so people spend less, but the prices do not go down, because everything becomes more difficult and more expensive to manufacture. Just look at the prices of basic commodities like grain, rice (especially rice), steel, etc. The leaders prefer to call it "financial crisis", because everyone feels that finances are huma

I am very sceptical about new sequels to old games in general. I was excited by Fallout 3, Elemental as new Master of Magic, about Battle for Kronos (Battle Isle new adaptation), Disciples 3, Master of Orion 3, Desperados 2, X-COM, etc, etc. Most of them were disasters. The vision and style of the original teams can seldom be replicated, and imitation often yields poorer results than coming with something new.

Well, even if you have cancer, you don't have to panic - especially if you are not aware of its seveity and impact. Peak oil is one of the major causes of the factual bankruptcy of the US financial sector in 2008, and subsequent global economic crisis that grows more severe every year.

The OP builds on a false premise - that there is a common interest to solve the problems of todays world. That is patently false, if we wanted an egalitarian, just society providing reasonable livehood for most people, we could have one. Instead we have neoliberal capitalism that maximizes the advantage of accumulated capital and its motto is "Winner takes all". The current unjust, wasteful and destructive global system was not created by accident, but by deliberate desi
